roseandivy I miss this as the site's title. I just think wordie is so much more appropriate than wordnik ... when it comes to words, I think of myself much more as a "word foodie" than a "word beatnik." This site is really all about word savouring. Apr 23, 2010
reesetee I do so love plethora's Eternal Questions. :-) Jan 28, 2010
Prolagus One of my favorite things about "us" is how we discover and re-discover lists by just adding some of the latest conversations to old lists where they fit. For instance, you're something of a hotdog, aren't you reminded me of plethora's Eternal Questions. Jan 27, 2010
asativum It's still here! Kind of. Dec 12, 2009

"After Tiffany brought her goldfish, Rebecca, over for a sleepover, we discovered the we had a whichbe said: " — Errata: The Wordie Blog Nov 17, 2009
reesetee Whichbe, that is truly bizarre. Looks like a horrendous mash-up of some sort. Nov 16, 2009
bilby I was at the University Sports Awards on Friday night. Nothing remarkable about that, except that it was held at the boat club at a pleasant spot by the harbour. When all the trophies had been handed out a couple of northern brown bandicoots hopped out of the bushes and quietly worked their way around the room under the tables, looking for scraps of food. Funnily enough I've never seen a bilby in the wild :-( Nov 16, 2009
milosrdenstvi The WordNet definition of bilby is rather amusing. "bandicoot with leathery ears like a rabbit". Perhaps mostly for the word bandicoot. Nov 16, 2009
ruzuzu It's just that you're fantastically awesome, bilby. Nov 16, 2009
whichbe Heh. Also, some usernames may result in a chuckle, like reesetee, dontcry, gangerh, qroqqa, and mine. Nov 16, 2009
bilby How did I get there? What have I done? Nov 16, 2009
ruzuzu When you look up "wordie" in Wordnik's dictionary, bilby is there. Nov 16, 2009
Prolagus See Wordie. Nov 11, 2009
dontcry My name is dontcry and I am a wordie. Oct 20, 2009
hernesheir "Here will be an old abusing of God's patience, and the king's English."
Shakespeare, The Merry Wives of Windsor Sep 24, 2009
hernesheir Wordie deserves its own reverdie, in addition to its own island. Sep 24, 2009
hernesheir Great observation, telofy! Sep 24, 2009
Telofy Hmm. I know I’m six months late, but “Wordie�? and “worthy�? are a minimal pair.
And I think it’s fun to listen to someone who uses remarkably apt words. Sep 23, 2009
hernesheir It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?"

ramsler I was envisioning this as a good term for a passionate word addict, someone who greatly enjoys exploring word definitions and finding new words in text. A comparable construction to groupie. Jun 21, 2009
nuxiy Sounds like "Worthy" when I say it out loud. Second language. Mar 17, 2009
bilby I think Wordie deserves an island. Oct 28, 2008
vanishedone Wordie is where words used on those other sites get to come if they've been good, pious, righteous words. Oct 7, 2008
Prolagus Wordie is not listed here. They don't know what they're missing. Oct 7, 2008
reesetee Done. Happy to oblige. Sep 10, 2008
gangerh Gobsmacked that I haven't yet listed such an evocative, meaningful, alphadictionarie-crushing word. Let us campaign for all Wordies to list this fundamental six-pack of a word and 'bye-bye' schadenfreude. I'm listing it now. Pass it on. Even schadenfreudgeon bows to the wonder that is Wordie. Sep 10, 2008
Prolagus I just realized Wordie doesn't stop when I'm not connected.
(But now, I am having dinner, so I just don't mind. Yum.) Jul 14, 2008
yarb Speak to me, Cocky. Say a little wordie.

seanahan That's what her name is.
Lingo is a very frustrating show, since the players always guess really stupid words. One should examine the letter pattern of the English language and guess words that have the most likely letters. Jan 8, 2008
uselessness Are you talking about Shandi? I'm in love with that girl. ;-) Jan 7, 2008
seanahan "Forget sexy, he's bringing back Wordie", the blonde girl on lingo talk about Chuck Woolery. Jan 5, 2008

born2badored a discription or a person with the quality of useing many words.
i.e "He's a Wordie" Dec 6, 2006
seanahan It is probably available via WordNet. Dec 6, 2006
zacharyr I really want to see a visualization of the English lexicon, in alphabetical order, being dissolved and consumed into Wordie entries as more users sign on and add words.
Is that data available? Dec 6, 2006
