• 22 hours ago, Grant Barrett said: PS: Wordnik's equivalent for high-threat-level bug-reporting and fixing will henceforth be the Feedback account page. That page will be monitored by multiple people throughout the day, which is not necessarily the case for the numerous other places bug reports are being left.

  I see there are character issues with your tags. I'm going to be working on tags again over the next few days and will see if we can fix that.

• about 3 months ago, madmouth said: get a load of this. there seem to be some odds and sods of appeal to a self-professed neologism junkie
• about 4 months ago, strev said: Thank you for the inpiration.
  I have a lot to learn here.
• about 6 months ago, fwyxx said: @Your comment on my username,
  
  fwyxx is a letter-replacement I did with my real name when I was a kid. I've always liked the sound of it. Thanks for noticing!
• about 6 months ago, trivet said: Welcome to the Pacific NW! *rummages in the welcome wagon* Here's a start for your list: skookum.
• about 6 months ago, Prolagus said: Yes! Comparative wordiology list, please!
• about 6 months ago, chained_bear said: Congratulations, whichbe. I hope you'll be very happy there, and that you'll report on all the local words. :)
• about 6 months ago, yarb said: Cool! Do you like rain?
• about 6 months ago, whichbe said: In a month I'll be moving north to Olympia, Washington. I'm pretty excited!
• about 8 months ago, plethora said: Happy birthday, which!
• about 8 months ago, seanahan said: Let us know when the book is finished, we'll all buy a copy and then make lists that really don't have anything to do with the book, but have the title in the list description.
• about 8 months ago, reesetee said: Good luck, whichbe--see you back here soon, we hope. :-)
• about 9 months ago, rolig said: Good luck with your book, whichbe! By the way, are you writing it or merely authoring it?
• about 9 months ago, whichbe said: I am currently lost in the world of authoring a book and listening to Chiptunes non-stop, but I miss Wordie and will return.
• about 9 months ago, fbharjo said: firmung is the German word for confirmation
• about 9 months ago, Prolagus said: I need your help for my knuckle tattoos.
• about 10 months ago, fbharjo said: thanks for the uppraisal. I hope I can continue to beinperiod.
• about 10 months ago, whichbe said: Don't worry, Prolagus, my appreciation can be purchased with a small contribution.
• about 10 months ago, Prolagus said: Sigh! So it's not me? (See fbharjo's profile)
• about 10 months ago, oroboros said: Hi whichbe. Your question puzzled me until I did a search and found it in my own comments. It stands for I plus Not-I equals Everything. I evidently never got around to adding its acronym when I was on my Jan Cox tear back then. I originally had trouble with adding my preferred version ([I + Not-I = Everything]) due to restrictions on symbols John had early on, thus the ipn-iee and not following up properly on a referent.
• about 11 months ago, whichbe said: I put the ack in acknowledge.
• about 11 months ago, BrainyBabe said: I have risen to your challenge at nasaaq. You are the first to acknowledge my attempts on Wordie, so thank you!
• about 11 months ago, star said: I finally got around to reading the definitions you've written for some of the ponies. I haven't laughed so hard in quite a while. I only wish I was witty enough to contribute some!
• about 11 months ago, whichbe said: Ahahah, yeah, I was surprised that I was apprehensive about deleting my BUGGY UNDELETABLE LISTS for their novelty, but I'm happy to see them gone.
• about 11 months ago, bilby said: B-b-b-but those lists were part of Wordie heritage! *sobs* Next thing will be yarb putting a bulldozer through the Biff!s *sobs more, pausing for glance at camera*
• about 1 year, 1 month ago, arcadia said: Thank you SO much for all the excellent additions to my "Joe the plumber" list. Big smiles from me!
• about 1 year, 1 month ago, whichbe said: (soh) Literally "jump". As adjectives, sauté (masc.) or sautée (fem.) (soh TAY) are used to modify the quality of a step: for instance, échappé sauté indicates an échappé performed while jumping.
  
• about 1 year, 1 month ago, smrtrthnu said: when did you join this site??
• about 1 year, 2 months ago, whichbe said: Thanks. I have a bit of an odd obsession with recontextualization and duality. And I'm still mourning the recent loss of DFW, one of my most favorite authors.
• about 1 year, 2 months ago, immerbeta said: your lists are of infinite jest, thanks:-)
• about 1 year, 2 months ago, Prolagus said: I need your help on disenchanted.
• about 1 year, 2 months ago, whichbe said: Ahaha, that 'í' was just some sort of cut-n-paste oddity. I'm originally from Philadelphia, Pennslyvania, currently reside in Oakland, California and have lived in a variety of other states in a slow-motion venture between coasts of the ol' USA. But, I do have a sort of affinity with Japan since my parents raised me Buddhist, so as a child there was often a swarm of old Japanese ladies at my house.
• about 1 year, 2 months ago, Prolagus said: Where are you from whichbe? On umami, you typed [Itís] instead of [It's], which makes me think that the í button is on your keyboard.
• about 1 year, 3 months ago, whichbe said: I do fancy myself a systemic thinker... I just hope that word never makes me snirtle they way 'synergy' does.
• about 1 year, 3 months ago, gangerh said: I think that being esemplastic is the uber new togetherness.
• about 1 year, 3 months ago, recombinantdna said: Lots of -gen words today! (Which is great, because I've been collecting them for a while)
• about 1 year, 3 months ago, post-eve said: Um, thank you for complimenting my kinda-use of "bamf." It is a good word. Uh, am I supposed to be thanking you? Either way...and your "My Little Phonies" list made me laugh. Which admittedly is not so much that hard to do.
  
  Have a nice day.
• about 1 year, 3 months ago, Prolagus said: Please, don't stop. *hee-heeing*
• about 1 year, 3 months ago, bilby said: I have a feeling nommo might go on one of your lists.
• about 1 year, 3 months ago, she said: Oh! In regard to your Belistful list: the be- prefix's entry I just ran across in the online OED has hundreds of words in — they let subscribers email non-subsribers with links to let them access an entry for three days; I immediately thought to ask the owner of that list if they'd like one to be-'s entry! (You can email me at <snipsnipsnip> if you'd rather not post yours here.)
• about 1 year, 3 months ago, she said: Oh yes! I have a longstanding love for Cat Power particularly; What Would the Community Think is one of those rare albums I love straight through, but: her first through You Are Free all see a good amount of play around here, and pieces of the Covers record—her "Bathysphere" and "Red Apples" were my (glowing) introduction to Smog.
  
  I wasn't expecting anyone would ask that. :) Hooray for.. "slowcorist"s? and their appreciators.
• about 1 year, 3 months ago, dontcry said: ..but I love you for trying to be helpful! Maybe one day, I'll give it a try....*snort*
• about 1 year, 3 months ago, whichbe said: My 10,000th word was ziz. I ate a cranberry muffin in honor of the occasion.
• about 1 year, 3 months ago, mollusque said: Congratulations, whichbe! Which word be your 10,000th?
