Hi Bilby - Just spotted a question you posed in a comment back in 2009 (!) on my aviation list ("Let's go strap on the ole air'chine and bore holes in the sky!") to wit: "what is a 'rooster tail'?" If it still matters see image here...or, since I've added it to the list: rooster tail.

Bilby is, as usual, a lode of useful information. I once went skiing in Chamonix, where les Guides des Alpes are universally admired, but I failed to understand the sense of their characteristic cries.
They're famed for feats of derring-do
But guides of the Alps are scholars too.
It's knowledge they seek
When they call from a peak
And plaintively ask, "Beaudelaire, he who?"January 11, 2015

Bonsoir Monsieur Bilby,
Where are you, actuellement?
I am back in Paris, being forced to write about such big fat frauds as Charles "Mr Spleen" Baudelaire.
But in two more weeks I shall be free, free as a bird!
Now I need to go favourite the word "wentletrap".

Bilby, I wish you a happy new year. I am grateful for the comments you have given me. I have been slow to respond mostly because I could not figure out how to do it. I have been looking for an ongoing thread I could reply to but I have failed to find it, so now I have visited your dashboard. This seems rather roundabout, like exiting the house and ringing the doorbell again before replying, but it is all I can manage for the moment.

bilby commented on the word sackcloth
From a comment on languagehat:
“Sackcloth”, often used in the masochistic sense of “hair shirt”, apparently traces back to the Persian “Sakkalat, saklatun”, which meant a kind of woollen broadcloth. (“Sack” + “cloth” is a apparently a etymology.) The form “syklatoun” is seen in Chaucer. “Sackcloth” is attested in 1430 (OED old ed). The term “suklat” was used in England in the XIXc for certain blankets or camlets from China.
Yule says that according to Skeat, “scarlet” also traces back to “sakkalat”, and first meant the kind of cloth, and only later meant a certain color of this cloth.
“Ciclas” is an XIIIc Italian or Latin translation of “siklatoun”. This is shouting distance of “celice”.
HOWEVER, the old OED doesn’t recognize any of this, and does not seem to list Chaucer’s “syklatoun”.

Yeah it appears to me that success is much likelier in bending an existing word to a new need than in consciously trying to introduce a new term. Neologisms do stick from time to time but usually because they're funny (eg. asshat), cool (bomboclaat), or have topical intensity (ground zero). Or possibly bits of all (quarantini). Three strikes for this one.

bilby commented on the word zoombombing
"This week also saw concerns raised around data security by instances of ‘Zoom-bombing’ as reports of trolls who crash gatherings on the popular remote-meeting platform emerged. Some meetings have been hijacked with racist content. Meanwhile, the chat and gaming app Houseparty claimed it was the target of a ‘smear campaign‘ alleging that it had been hacked and is offering a $1 million reward for proof of a hack."
