Talking about "as soon as words get used they tend to split and shift"; Internet influences the actual stretching of language too. Lots of people play with words. On Flickr homepage I read: We call it interestingness and somewhat lower they use gordeousity.
Both words nouned. Online dictionaries do not give entries
(yet?). The word monstrosity is listed.
Why does monstrosity look like a better word to me than gordeousity? Monstrous has an etymology. Could find no origins for gordeous. ( a word without family tree)
