grasshopper Master seanahan, I am relieved that you approved the release of the wordworm, for, as Master sionnach reports, the dawn is red. I had not realized that merely mentioning its existence would animate it. Nov 15, 2007
grasshopper Thank you Master reesetee. I am not precisely crazy, but, reus ex machina, the third instar of the emerging sentience of Wordie. Nov 15, 2007
sionnach Too late! The wordworm has already bored through the wall. Nov 15, 2007
seanahan Grasshopper, the chair is against the wall. Nov 15, 2007
grasshopper Master seanahan I am honored to accept your guidance. Unless the suggestion is countermanded by one higher among the top 100 citers, I will employ the "real" tag as you have counseled.
May I request your advice on the advisability of releasing the wordworm at this time? Nov 15, 2007
seanahan Bandersnatch is ok, because Lewis Carroll just kind of made it up. Testiculate was made up with a different meaning, as a portmanteau, but we probably need a different term for existing words which we make up new meanings for. Flustrated goes back to 1700, so it is officially not Madeupical, and neither is nounal. You can tag both as "real", or "nonmadeupical" if you like.
Of course, I have no authority, but people tend to listen to me because I talk so loudly that they can't hear anybody else. Nov 15, 2007
grasshopper Master, I request permission to terminate the missions for the following words: bandersnatch, flustrated, nounal, and testiculate. Each has been presumed to be madeupical on Wordie, but each is listed in at least one dictionary. I would therefore like to focus on other less fortunate words. Please advise. Nov 14, 2007
