PROCRASTINAP.
Definition: taking a nap as means of putting off doing something of more significance.
The only thing I can't decide is its part of speech; is it a noun or a verb?
Noun example: "Instead of tackling the 4 loads of clean laundry piled on the floor, I decided to take a procrastinap."
Verb example: "I have a test tomorrow, but I think I'll procrastinap now and study later."
What do you think?

You know what's funny? I think my sister uses that word!
I like it as either a noun or verb!
Welcome to every college student's favorite activity ;)
I'm in. I'll start using it as often as I can!
My students are now using this! I kid you not. I heard it twice yesterday and again in my noon class today. It is starting to spread on campus :)
Tracy - I told some of the students in my Bible study to start using it, and I know at least one of them has class with you. Glad to hear she's doing her part :)
Yes, those students are in my Thursday class. Then yesterday one of my Jewish students was using it in the hallway so asked where he heard the word because I thought it was really interesting. He said he read it on facebook. Before you know it, it will be everywhere :) BTW, what does it say about my reputation that my inquiry about origen of words was met with no surprise at all?...
Rachel - you need to get a patent on this word!!
It's a great word and can be used as both a noun and a verb.
