Quote:

Am I hungover? I come back after a drinking bout in the woods to see that tsuwm's Worthless Word for the Day is "hastitude".

Somehow this seems unseemly, or at worse, a violation of the Hogwash(c) copyright laws.

Do you all think that tsuwm is running out of "Worthless Words"?



I don't know about "hungover"; but as eta points out, you did misread the word.

as to running out of "worthless words", it's not going to happen as long as writers such as Eco are around; e.g.,

"It was in [Nuovissimo Melzi (It. encyclopedic dictionary)]
that I had encountered terms that tasted like magic words:
avolate, baccivorous, benzoin, cacodoxy, cerastes, cribble,
dogmatics, glaver, grangerism, inadequation, lordkin, mulct,
pasigraphy, postern, pulicious, sparble, speight, vespillo..."
- Umberto Eco, The Mysterious Flame... (trans./2005)

there's a couple of theme weeks' worth right there.
