Still no answer as to what name is given to the new word created when a new letter(s) is added to an existing word to create an entirely new meaning. Any suggestions?
Resignate
To leave an organisation or a job for reasons that everyone can relate to.
Maorinated
The process through which a group of public service employees attend a cultural sensitivity course that results in not much more than them answering the phone with a cheery ‘Kia Ora’.

More in the ongoing series of the mildly amusing new words that can be created by adding/changing a letter in an existing word. (Does anyone know what the name for this is? Surely someone must have coined something?)
Thurd
The sound made by an uncommonly large faecal deposit hitting the ground
Goobble
Using the internet to find a place to have lunch

I’ve always enjoyed those word game things in which you change or add a letter to a word to give it a new meaning. I’ve started seeing them everywhere. Please suggest your own. A prize, of my choosing, to the winner. I volunteer:
Evaborate
When you make a pointless comment in a meeting, then watch your credibility disappear as you try and expand on the point, in the process demonstrating that you knew nothing about what was being discussed to begin with.
