Love ya, but you didn’t just make up the word “mentee.”
I’ve used it several times, but alas, I have no proof. However:

Hey Mike. Yep, I’m quite sure “mentee” is not a real word. I’ve already flogged myself for letting it slip out in the show!

Revisiting this a month later, I’d like to be clear that I have no problem with unreal words. I love to say “gooder.” It’s way gooder than “better.” And making up new and useful words on the fly is good funmusement.
