What tv series or a film when a character says two words and then combines it to make a brand new word. the character loses the ability to do it in the film but then regains it.|||Isn't it the one where there's that guy with some shoes and a jacket? And then he goes and does something, I can't remember what, but it sorts everything out. Yeah, he has this thing with the two words-one word thing. No, I don't think I've seen it. Is it Gladiator?
