I was witness to the creation of a new word this weekend. Michele Wucker created it to explain her feeling toward some rowdy teenage guests at her hotel in Washington, DC. She is the author of Lockout about the failure of the US immigration system and a Facebook friend.
A usage example: “Michele Wucker is feeling teenicidal toward the mobs of entitled brats who have confused her hotel with a prep school dormitory.”
Definition: Teenicidal: “Extremely angry at the actions of a teenager and considering killing said teen.”
A Google search for teenicidal turned up only four hits.

Let me start by saying the following comment is meant to be a JOKE, and in no way is meant to be disrespectful to anyone who has strong feelings about the topic of pro choice or abortion.
So, with the disclaimer out of the way, here’s the deal. We all witness totally out of control children & teenagers in public from time to time and it really makes you wonder what their upbringing, or lack of upbringing as the case may be, is all about. I have a simple solution for such children that I think would thin out the herd of misbehaving youth. If abortion were legal until age 18, you would not see nearly as many kids that are just out of control.
This is an idea like Defoe’s “A Modest Proposal” in which he proposed that since the Irish had more babies than they could feed they should sell them to the English as food. He called it “Satire” which I think is a joke with a moral.
