Logs in some funny new words (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neologisms

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'new words' is the definition.
'neologisms' can be an answer for 'words' (neologism is a kind of word). I'm not sure about the 'new' bit.

'logs in some funny' is the wordplay.
'funny' indicates an anagram.
'logs'+'in'+'some'='logsinsome'
'logsinsome' is an anagram of 'NEOLOGISMS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for neologisms that I've seen is " Modern bits of language".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
