Made up words?
Just been having a nose through the US Divers Nitrox cleaning proceedure manual and in there it warns about the use of silicon grease. 'Very wise' I hear you say, but US Divers also add that silicon grease breaks down in high ppO2 and loses it's 'lubricity.' Is this a real word, or are US Divers making it up?

I think they have made it up - surely it is lubricasiousness?

Lubricity sounds like the sideways look that blokes who are with their wives give attractive ladies! For example:

'He gave her a glance steaming with lubricity as she jiggled past him!'

It's no more made up than any other (American) English word.
New Webster's Dictionary and Thesaurus: lubricity n. lewdness, smoothness, oiliness.
Lots of words that are common in British English would seem just as made up to an American.

Not only an Americanism, but definitely a Bushism - actually come to think of it - most of his words are made up aren't they?

Wow, I was right, without even looking it up! It fits my description perfectly!
