Well, the original idea was to make up definitions. So let's finally start it off - I've got one for ya'll. It's a LotR word, but the definition has to do with my favorite forum contributions.

balrog-winging (verb):
discussing, extensively and heatedly, issues of no practical importance, which cannot be resolved due to lack of conclusive proof for any given standpoint
(see also: angel-pinpoint-dancing)

OK, OK, don't you balrog-wingers out there stone me - it's just for fun, remember?!

Now, who'll try next?
