The Internet is loaded with umpteen people that should keep their mouths shut and be thought of as stupid instead of opening their mouths and removing all doubt.

My mom made up words all the time when I was a child. She also made up her own lyrics to popular songs. This was very confusing for me and part of the reason I struggle with my vocabulary. I was embarrassingly old when I realized umpteen was a real word and not something my mom made up.

Just wait until we get into gaggles, collywobbles, taradiddles, flibbertigibbets, donnybrooks, and bumfuzzles.

(and yes, those are all real words)

Why does every one of those words sound alternate words to describe the dingleberries that hang from my dog's butt?
