Don't know whether you all have mentioned this, but there's a site that will accept new words. You can submit words, if you follow the submission guidelines, at: http://www.pseudodictionary.com/I would think we could provide a lot of new words on that site! For some strange reason, it seems to me that there was some discussion about this site recently.... Anyway, I just submitted a word, and, if it's accepted on the site, good--I suppose! Book regards, Wordwind

Oh, ok--it was mentioned once. tsuwm referred to it in a Winter Word thread, but there wasn't any discussion--and he also provided the link in case you wanted to look up the pseudoentry he provided.
Anyway, it's at least interesting reading there--and the temptation to have a word added to the pseudolexicon.

The "other" Stephen Moore was born in Brixton, London in 1937 and is therefor much older than I. He provided the voices for Marvin (the depressed robot), the Whale, and Frankie Mouse in the 1981 television series "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." I have never met the fellow but, by similar reasoning to that which people apply to people who share the same Zodiacal sign, he must be one helluva nice fellow, having shared my name for lo these many years.

If he was born in Brixton, I bet he doesn't live there now ...

I grieve to report that Robert's infracaninophile is not there. It should be, of course.
In checking for it I stumbled across illegiterate - "illegitimate" and "illiterate"--a dumb bastard.
Reminiscent of our previously-noted ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.

I have had an entry accepted, which is a dubious achievement at best. Here's the url for the page: http://www.pseudodictionary.com/search.php?letter=a&browsestart=280The word is artraculation and I'm "Theresa" there. Best regards, Wordwind P.S. My motivation for submitting the word was I'd used it in a poem and thought it might be nice to have the word appear in at least one dictionary, pseudo or otherwise!

This was a pretty cute definition from the pseudodictionary:
hydroflout - (hi'dro falout) Getting hit in the face by the ice that was stuck to the inside bottom of a drinking glass when you tilt the glass bottom up while drinking.
I submitted finig this morning so that the non-word I've been using for years may have a chance of appearing in at least one dictionary, pseudo or not.

My finig has been accepted into the pseudodictionary. You may now use the word finig to mean nothing and have the assurance that finig appears in at least one dictionary. Check it out at: http://www.pseudodictionary.com/word.php?id=12834Best regards, WW
