You may have heard of the famous Douglas Adams book, The Meaning of Liff, in which he takes a range of village names from around the UK (which don't, in normal language, mean anything) and assigns them definitions that turn out to be oddly appropriate.
And I wonder how this would go with SL..
Dore (noun): The curiously satisfied-yet-regretful feeling you get after the newbie you've been helping for your whole SL session leaves satisfied and overjoyed with the potential of the game, and you reach for the close button for bedtime remembering the building project that you were sure you could finish tonight a couple of hours ago.
Ambulyx (noun): The condition suffered by new avatars causing them to walk in the way they do in lagged zones without an AO.
Eventide (noun): The sudden wash of colour that appears on your screen when your client finally gets a go on the asset server.

These are great... I find it hard-pressed to do one, however, because I tend to associate it with the people who live there.
