OP When I looked for "kibosh" in WorldWideWords, Quinion used a word that to me doesn't seem up to his presumed standards.
In discussing questions he gets about dubious coinages:
"Such enquiries are particularly smilesomered because I find several hundred words a month about which I could ask the same question in the dozens of newspapers and periodicals that I read for Oxford Dictionaries"

Is that "smilesome"?
