Spellchecked

I am doing the spellcheck on a story, and these are the words I’ve clicked “ignore” on. I wonder what clues they give as to the nature of the story:

uncatered
minifridge
Lavalife
colours
Coke
FedEx’d
admins
midconversation
dj
nothinger
orthodics
Prius
maritalness
bellish
clearish
one-night-standish
lingerie’d
unmuscled
fleshshaping
unerotic
clinkless

In some ways, that’s pretty much the whole story in miniature, in slang and neologisms. Weird.
