"Words offer the means to meaning,
and for those who will listen,
the enunciation of truth."
(V, V For Vendetta)
I love words. Please, by all means, contribute to my lists! I read and consider all suggestions, and since I like my lists to be definitive, I'll probably use most of them.

Some of my lists are objective, and anyone should be able to add to them. Others are subjective, and the inclusion of words is just a matter of my taste... but don't let that stop you from suggesting anything!

Also, check out my web site (currently hibernating), as if you would ever want to leave Wordnik.

  • 9 days ago, yarb said: Hello, cocker! Glad to see you back.
  • 10 days ago, uselessness said: I actually put my name in there on purpose... maybe I should value my anonymity higher? Although, I use this name on so many web sites, if someone really wants to know who I am it won't be hard to sleuth. Why fight it? ;-)
  • 10 days ago, mollusque said: Psst, your profile page is under your real name, so you might want to tweak your settings. You know, to keep up the uselessness mystique.
  • about 1 months ago, gangerh said: I played with your name. 
  • about 2 months ago, arcadia said: This is the best news I've come across in recent memory: Uselessness returns to Wordie!
  • about 10 months ago, reesetee said: Oh, he's alive. Check out the Wordie Facebook group. :-)
  • about 10 months ago, whichbe said: Are you still alive? Should we have a Wordie wake?
  • about 1 year ago, gangerh said: And in my hour of uselessness

  • about 1 year, 10 months ago, reesetee said: Good grief. We've lost another one.
  • about 1 year, 10 months ago, uselessness said: Glad to be of service, Darth Treeseed. ;-)
  • about 1 year, 10 months ago, treeseed said: Thank you for your help with the Noxema/Noxzema debacle. I love this site. What fun! Words are so cool.
  • about 1 year, 10 months ago, arcadia said: Dhaero is pronounced "Dhare-oh", similar to "Dare-oh" but the "D" is slightly softer.

    Glad you're a fellow Dr.Paul supporter. I'm smitten by him, and am one of the "band of loyal supporters" creating tiny, colorful, handmade signs to stick around town. But it's not looking good for him. :(

  • about 1 year, 10 months ago, arcadia said: Thanks for compliments on Dhaero's name. I created the word but the root is "aero". (That's meant to be a diphthong in there, however, I don't yet know how to type it as such because I'm a technology looser).
  • about 1 year, 11 months ago, reesetee said: Zoiks! Welcome back...er...dangerousness.
  • about 1 year, 11 months ago, bilby said: Uselessness you're becoming such an essential part of modern life and its signature gadgetry.
  • about 1 year, 11 months ago, uselessness said: After eleven years of using this pseudonym around the internet, the first article about me has finally been written.
  • about 1 year, 11 months ago, arcadia said: Proud to say, the names on my marquee list are "madeupical", as far as I know. If any are already in use, the band is very obscure. Confession time: my list was inspired by your "band" list. But then you probably already suspected that. =^+^=
  • about 1 year, 11 months ago, arcadia said: Hi. You seem to be a large and engaging presence here; a good person to know when just joining. I like your lists very much and all else to be learned about you from your exchanges with other members. I adore words but am somewhat intimidated by the vast vocabularies of folks like yourself. My current mission here is to find a parsifal word to name my new son. His brothers are Odyssey and Meridian. Any ideas?
  • about 2 years ago, jennarenn said: jenna and rejen. problem solved. :)
  • about 2 years ago, uselessness said: That sounds good! Bet the guy made for interesting conversation, too... :-)
  • about 2 years ago, cakemix said: for vendetta...

    i once went to dinner with david lloyd

    it was an all you can eat vegan thai buffet!
  • about 2 years, 1 month ago, uselessness said: Hey Jen! (Yikes, now there's two Jens around here *tries not to get confused*)

    So there's really no way to send private messages on Wordie yet, but yeah, a note on a profile is cool. Thanks for the kind words! I also enjoy rummaging through your letter-lists and finding nuggets of randomness. :-D
  • about 2 years, 1 month ago, rejeneration said: I'm still trying to figure out the nuances of this message system, but 'Hi!' Your lists are a thing of beauty. -grin-

    - Jen

  • about 2 years, 2 months ago, seanahan said: I take full responsibility, I know better than to suggest such a thing.
  • about 2 years, 2 months ago, uselessness said: Haha, that's hilarious! It's funny, I noticed that immediately after I finished the last line, the site went "down for maintenance" so I figured you were probably doing something like that. :-)

    Actually I was hoping you might, because while I love leaving that little rabbit trail as an easter egg for future generations to discover, I felt bad about cluttering things up with it all today. So, nice compromise. :-)
  • about 2 years, 2 months ago, john said: Hi U, it cracks me up that you put the entirety of the beer song up, but I got a confused email from a new visitor, wondering what that was doing on a site for logophiles :-)

    I hope you don't mind, but I filtered most of them from the front page, so that it didn't completely overwhelm everything else for the weekend. Hope you don't mind -- email me if you do.

  • about 2 years, 3 months ago, jennarenn said: Oh, I was out most of last week, but Sera and erinoftheyear admirably stood in my stead. Now all we need is a pun war, and we'll be back in business.
  • about 2 years, 3 months ago, reesetee said: Thanks, oroboros! Looks like you really did have the site more or less to yourself last week, along with jennarenn. Great to see some infrequent and new posters also getting in on the fun, too. :-)
  • about 2 years, 3 months ago, oroboros said: Welcome back y'all. I felt like I had the site to myself last week! Zoomed to the top of the citations list. King for a day! Yay!
  • about 2 years, 3 months ago, reesetee said: I'm a usual suspect (I presume), and I was gone last week. But I'm back now too. Welcome back, uselessness. Hope you enjoyed your trip. :-)
  • about 2 years, 3 months ago, jennarenn said: Actually, I think we all timed it rather well. Many of the usual suspects were gone last week.
  • about 2 years, 3 months ago, uselessness said: I hate leaving on vacation because I miss all the fun on Wordie...
    but I'm back now. :-)
  • about 2 years, 6 months ago, uselessness said: Woohoo! One of these days maybe we'll have more players, but thanks jennarenn for joining in with me. So what do we really want to call the game? Will we forever just append a question mark?
  • about 2 years, 6 months ago, reesetee said: Huzzah! Congrats to u! Looked like a tough one to me (watching from the sidelines, hours later).
  • about 2 years, 6 months ago, wordplay said: uselessness has emerged victorious from round one of the incredible, the stupendous, the glorious, and tremendous inaugural lightning round of the yet-to-be-officially-named wordplay game, informally and affectionately known as Alphabet Soup(?). Well done.
  • about 2 years, 7 months ago, uselessness said: You're referring to, I suppose, this guy? I don't know... We never did find out who that was... ;-)
  • about 2 years, 7 months ago, oroboros said: Did somebody nail the screendoor shut?
  • about 2 years, 7 months ago, uselessness said: Welcome to Wordie! It's always nice to see a new face around here. :-D
  • about 2 years, 7 months ago, patiomensch said: This site is awesome! I'm glad I joined last night.
