1. Use a passphrase generator to produce two or three words

2. Smash pieces of the words together until you get something that looks good.

e.g. blurred grumble ambiguity:

- Blurlamb

- Redblig

- Leguity

Don't worry about the meaning. The meaning emerges from the identity you give it.

Extra credit: Look it up to make sure it isn't a dirty word in some foreign language. Happens more often than you think.
