Redefining definitions

Every now and then you come across a word that just BEGS to be redefined. Here are some of my favorites. Some of them are not really words in the first place, I'm fairly certain.
1) Fallimento... from the Mob Wars application in Facebook. In this app, it means that you can't place a bounty on yourself.
In my loopy brain, I think it means an indecent sexual act from a minty fresh candy.
2) Non-Filer Syndrome... a clinical definition given to government employees who have evaded paying taxes, claiming that they are depressed.
I think it's what applies to those freaks you see in the Guinness Book of World Records that have ridiculously long fingernails.
3) Sobriquet (pron. so-brick-ay).. means nickname.
I think it means a game of croquet for members of AA. Okay that's a long shot, but I had to take it.
4) Cosmopolite...means a cosmopolitan person (makes sense)
I think it sounds like a very friendly alcoholic drink.
5) Numismatics... the collection and study of coins
I think it applies to all the freaks who put up videos of themselves lip-synching to that Numa Numa song.
