Wordnik.com: The Collins death row http://www.wordnik.com/lists/the-collins-death-row.xml Times Online: 'Dictionary compilers at Collins have decided that the word list for the forthcoming edition of its largest volume is embrangled with words so obscure that they are linguistic recrement. Such words, they say, must be exuviated abstergently to make room for modern additions that will act as a roborant for the book. Readers who vilipend the compilers’ decision and vaticinate that society will be poorer without little-used words have been offered a chance to save them from the endangered list. Collins... has agreed that words will be granted a reprieve if evidence of their popularity emerges before February, when the word list is finalised.' http://www.wordnik.com vilipend http://www.wordnik.com/words/vilipend Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:01:46 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/vilipend vaticinate http://www.wordnik.com/words/vaticinate Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:01:33 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/vaticinate skirr http://www.wordnik.com/words/skirr Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:01:25 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/skirr roborant http://www.wordnik.com/words/roborant Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:01:16 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/roborant recrement http://www.wordnik.com/words/recrement Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:01:08 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/recrement periapt http://www.wordnik.com/words/periapt Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:00:58 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/periapt oppugnant http://www.wordnik.com/words/oppugnant Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:00:50 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/oppugnant olid http://www.wordnik.com/words/olid Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:00:40 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/olid nitid http://www.wordnik.com/words/nitid Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:00:30 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/nitid niddering http://www.wordnik.com/words/niddering Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:00:15 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/niddering muliebrity http://www.wordnik.com/words/muliebrity Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:00:05 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/muliebrity mansuetude http://www.wordnik.com/words/mansuetude Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:59:56 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/mansuetude malison http://www.wordnik.com/words/malison Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:59:46 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/malison griseous http://www.wordnik.com/words/griseous Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:59:37 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/griseous fubsy http://www.wordnik.com/words/fubsy Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:59:29 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/fubsy fatidical http://www.wordnik.com/words/fatidical Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:59:20 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/fatidical exuviate http://www.wordnik.com/words/exuviate Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:57:46 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/exuviate embrangle http://www.wordnik.com/words/embrangle Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:57:33 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/embrangle compossible http://www.wordnik.com/words/compossible Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:57:24 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/compossible caliginosity http://www.wordnik.com/words/caliginosity Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:57:04 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/caliginosity caducity http://www.wordnik.com/words/caducity Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:56:57 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/caducity apodeictic http://www.wordnik.com/words/apodeictic Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:53:34 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/apodeictic agrestic http://www.wordnik.com/words/agrestic Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:53:24 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/agrestic abstergent http://www.wordnik.com/words/abstergent Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:53:13 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/abstergent
