tsuwm's thread about new words went of thread, but it has kept me thinking..

One word from his original list, boondocks is from Tagalog (M-W 10th Collegiate agrees with me on that) (rough mountainous country)
but in thinking, realize i also like
Meme and prion

I like prion, too--sounds vaguely worshipful, doesn't it?

Helen, I think you ought to have posted this under the original thread--we occasionally--no, sometimes--no, wait--often--no, frequently--oh heck, ALWAYS need to be guided back on track!

Aksherly, I quite like the trend among many ayleurs to throttle back the old wordster and rev it up in a new thread, when the old track gets a bit too long and serpentine. It makes it easier to keep an eye out for cunning coelacanths cycling swiftly past, reminding all ayleurs to put the pedal to the metal in their wondrous wordsters.

You only used it twice Max . Oh, and if I say it in French, phonetically, it means "Hey, their's".

Question: How long does it take a new thread to get "off track"
Answer: I'll leave it to you to answer - I suppose it just depends on the weather, the kind of way people got up in the morning and who happens to see it first.

This ayleur agrees. Meme a great word, and prion (though something awful), is a good word too.

It also depends on whether the track is in water (by the way, coelacanths are rare animals), on sand, or on solid earth..
