here's an idea stolen from "Radio Paradise" (but that's okay, they don't really give credit for use of words, they just call it the worthless word for the day): take an obscure word and provide tongue-in-cheek definitions -- no voting required, just reply here.

so, define kenspeckle (Dec '95 wwftd)

I got some questions, dude:

a) What is Radio Paradise? (I know, to paraphrase Casey Stengel, ICLIU) but.

2) Did they steal wwftd from you or vide verso?

iii) I recuse myself from defining this particular word you have chosen {clearing throat} but I like the idea of the game and will certainly participate in any future.
