jennarenn I only dreamed of being that hip. Sep 14, 2007
uselessness *nasal voice* Hey guys! Wanna see my new calculator? You can totally play Pong on it! Doiiigh! Sep 14, 2007
jennarenn I said cooler. We are, after all, posting on a website about words. ;) Sep 13, 2007
colleen cool, jennarenn? my ruse is working! ;) Sep 13, 2007
jennarenn colleen, you are far cooler than I am, chica. I also second that first commandment. Sep 13, 2007
seanahan See the wordie commandments page. Sep 7, 2007
john Commandments by committee, excellent! They'll all be, like, "please clean the microwave in the common area after use."
My only title is Village Idiot. Also the name of a bar in New York that I frequently frequented, in my misbegotten youth. The Idiot is no more, sadly. Sep 7, 2007
colleen Well, there's room for ten on the tablet, seanahan. Perhaps we should get a committee on up the mountain? Sep 7, 2007
seanahan Obviously you don't know enough about Wordie. The first Commandment is "John is the Lord and Creator and there were no other web developers before him". Sep 7, 2007
reesetee Yeah! Lots of Wordie words are madeupical! Sep 7, 2007
uselessness Commandments are very fashynable this year. Sep 7, 2007
john That's a good suggestion for a commandment, if we did commandments. My personal preference is to just make fun of the haters. Dunc, I'm not sure you are one, but c'mon man. Useless is right, but even if they were made up... look around a little. Half of the best words on Wordie are made up. The word Wordie is made up. Get with the program :-)
Sep 7, 2007
colleen I'm pretty sure the First Commandment of Wordie is Thou shalt not harsh another Wordie's buzz.
and if it isn't, it should be. Sep 7, 2007
uselessness Dude, they're real. Just archaic. They're in the dictionary, look 'em up. I still use some of these! Sep 5, 2007
dunc so these aren't real words...
that's just silly. Sep 5, 2007
john Just so long as I'm not the only thing that comes up when you Google 'creampt'. Sep 5, 2007
uselessness Gross!!
BTW, I did a Google search for fashyned and your name was the only thing that came up, John. So, you're famous now? ;-) Sep 5, 2007
john My eyes just conflated 'dreamt' and 'crept', to create 'creampt'. Which is olde-fashyned speak for... something dirty, I think. Sep 5, 2007
uselessness It's olde-fashyned speak for wrapped. See also: slept, dreamt, crept, learnt. Sep 5, 2007
