How can my friend and I get patents to some coined words we made and add them to dictionaries?
Mine= Everynight;
His= Unlife.
Yes, I'm serious about this. He isn't though.

New words have to be in general circulation before they are considered for the dictionary,

Patents have nothing to do with individual words. Also, if you were to want "ownership", you would have to use them as adjectives as applied to particular goods or services in commerce. For instance, you could have UNLIFE brand zombie snacks or EVERYNIGHT brand online dating services.
FWIW, EVERYNIGHT, by itself, was already registered as a US trademark for shampoo and rinse products, by Helene Curtis, in the 1970s, so it's not as if you're "the first" to think of it. The brand EVERYDAY EVERYNIGHT is being used (and is pending USPTO registration) by an energy-supply company in Texas, for electrical supply services.
