/Lit/, what does cuthanatized mean?

As in, "the bottomlessly horrid On the Air, which was cuthanatized by ABC after six very long-seeming weeks."

Did Mr. David Foster Wallace just make this word up?

Oh god, this must be bait.
It is a portmonteau of "cut", as in "cut from air", and euthanised.

Do you really invent a word if it makes sence? I mean you discover theorems, not invent them. If the word is understandable without context, then it is not new.
And this is why I like english, despite the fact that the vocabulary is depressingly slim - it is easily expandable. The same is not really true for hebrew, Russian and French. What other languages are much more flexible in that sence?

french is easily expandable, just put le or la in front of an english word.

The City and the City has some great made-up words.

In hebrew there is something called roots, every word got one. You can make as many new words as you want using them, very expandable
