reesetee Skipvia, please do not say the s-word in my presence! ;-) Mar 3, 2008
seanahan I can't believe it took 14 hours for someone to add the madeupical tag.
Although, Skipvia did make up a word in his response, the fourth to last, S-something or other, never heard of it before, I'll be glad if I never hear of it again, it sounds silly. Feb 29, 2008
skipvia Stuff and nonsense, reesetee. We eschew sesquipedalianism here. Lexiphanicism results only in obfuscation.
Oh...and, schadenfreude, whatever that means. Feb 28, 2008
reesetee 1) extremely liberal in making new words. 2) using high-sounding or fabricated words where common ones would do. --from WWFTD, 2/27/08
Describes quite a few Wordies. :-) Feb 28, 2008
