Some-acious

We've all known somebody who is tenacious. Strong-willed, confident, well versed in their beliefs and ready for action. Willing to go the distance. Well, some are not like that. Some are, well, a little less persuasive and a little more persuadable. A little less dogged, and a little more lap-dog. I have coined a word for these types, the easily discouraged. What is less than tenacious?
Nineacious
Get it? Because nine is less than ten! Anybody at work who isn't willing to see a job through is tagged as nineacious. Of course, there is an antonym for the nineacious of the world.
Elevenacious
If you are elevenacious, you are, naturally, more than tenacious. You overflow with tenacity. You are a wolverine.
While we are talking about new words, I have come up with still another new word. It's really just a new term for a phrase I once heard elsewhere. Decorum prohibits me from getting too graphic, but it should suffice to explain that it describes talking too much about things one does not understand.
Moutharrhea
