Besonence seems to me like it could also be the way a kiss resonates with someone. Also, in music at least the word "decrescendo" (>) also means a transition from a louder dynamic to a quieter one and "sforzando" (sfz., sf. or fz.) means a sudden loud emphasis that goes quiet. This transition could also be "fortepiano" (fp.) or even "subito piano" (suddenly soft).

Anyway, I like making up words and phrases, but they always seem to be crass. Like "spermjack."

Spermjack - v. - The act of stealing sperm for the purpose of insemination or dissemination for personal gain or profit.

Ex: I figured out why my one-night stand didn't make me wear a rubber. She definitely spermjacked me; it's no secret to all but her husband that her husband is infertile. I wouldn't feel so used if she'd only asked.
