Interesting to me how Game of Thrones (the show) has caused new words to enter our lexicon

Off the top of my head, I can think of three:

Twincest - Hope I don't need to explain this one

Sexposition - Exposition over a scene of graphic nudity that is generally inconsequential to the story (the nudity not the exposition). The most famously egregious scene being Littlefinger training Ros upon her arrival at his brothel.

Hodoring - To Hodor (Hodor.)

Any others I am missing?
