With this inaugural comment I am joining this community. I finally get it after hearing Erin McKean as a guest on GrammarGirl's podcast (https://pca.st/episode/7a6638c1-f1be-4ff4-aa8e-62bc112e8e60). (And don't miss her talking about AI and the future of dictionaries on GG's bonus episode (https://pca.st/episode/3c0da526-fcda-4c26-b98b-52aeff4091c2).

tbc commented on the word pompom girl
Per https://pca.st/episode/09c2f6f0-f073-49f8-b0c8-f60aa1b8ca1c?t=247 Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary (1961) does not refer to this modern meaning. An updated definition was prepared by the lexicographer features in the podcast, but has not been featured on the website as of the podcast recording date (2025).

tbc commented on the word tbc0
The example URL doesn't mention tbc0? Anyway, best examples, IMHO, are https://tbc0.com/ and https://x.com/tbc0

tbc commented on the word twitter
A brand that was destroyed and ceased to have any claim as a proper noun in 2023 or 2024 depending how you define it. As of 2025 it is definitely fair game. R.I.P. twitter.com.

tbc commented on the list words-that-describe-me--3
Mea culpa. 25418050 added logophile to this list. I added it myself, which then allowed me to delete it, which I shouldn't have done. Therefore, I put it back. Trying to make this right. Sorry.
