Not a real word - more like Fahrwegnuegen (fahrweg mashed up with
vergnuegen):
messen is to measure (with some connotation of a measuring device),
and notizen is roughly to take notes - so it is a brand name implying
a calculating device to take notes with. Not very imaginative, but
quite descriptive.
