  • I found wordnik via the terrific TED talk from Erin McKean. A couple of years ago my students (6th grade) created the portmanteau fistumba: noun/verb - definition = the resulting pain/injury from fist-bumping (fist-bashing) too hard. Derived from fist + zumba (active fast movement/dance). We have been working to get this word into our everyday language. Even called Martha and Grant at Way With Words! Hoping you will add it to wordnik.

  • Effectively every possible word is already here...just type something in the search box and a page will be generated, drawing upon what resources it can. You leaving a comment on fistumba was completely the right way to get your definition there.
