Looking for tweets for mad props.
bilby Hmmmm. I'm thinking rugby. May 16, 2010
reesetee Wow. Those props truly are mad. May 16, 2010
mostlyfoobar Yeah, we really need a 'despised' button next to the 'favorite' button. The zeitgeist page could then proudly proclaim the most despised words of each day. That would be kewlness.
Oh, and mad props in advance to the webdev here who implements the feature. Apr 23, 2010
chained_bear Ooh! Ooh! I want an "anti-favorite" button!! Apr 21, 2010
thtownse I keep my "Dumbisms" list myself. What I need though is one-click access to put words there. Apr 21, 2010
reesetee Haha! "Add to despised." Not to worry, thtownse. Many of us have "stuff I hate" lists. It's all part of the Master Plan of Wordnik.
*cue evil laugh* Apr 21, 2010
thtownse No offendment is intended. I have found however that it is perhaps more fun to hate words and phrases than it is to like them. It's that smug feeling you get, that lasts long after your shower.
I might add that Wordnik has the 'Add to favorites' feature but should also have 'Add to despised'. feature. Apr 21, 2010
chained_bear The first time I heard it was when jennarenn said "I love Great Big Sea! Mad props!" on one of my lists. So now when I hear it, I always think of 1) jennarenn, and 2) Great Big Sea. Both of which make me very happy... so screw you people who don't like making me happy! *sticks out tongue* Apr 21, 2010
reesetee Also, you can get to the blog through the link at the top of all the Wordnik pages. :-) Apr 21, 2010
pterodactyl I get Errata (the Wordie blog) and the Wordnik blog, both by RSS. Lately they've been mirroring each other, so if you're just getting the Wordnik blog, dontcry, you probably haven't missed much. Apr 21, 2010
pterodactyl I use this phrase a lot, and while I tell myself I'm using it ironically, I suspect I just genuinely like the sound of it. Apr 21, 2010
thtownse Aye em spatial Apr 21, 2010
dontcry Well, la-dee-dah. Apr 20, 2010
thtownse I get it emailed to me. Apr 20, 2010
dontcry There's a wordie blog....? Did I know this? Apr 20, 2010
thtownse Just read this in the Wordie blog! I hate it! H. A. T. E. I. T. Apr 20, 2010
