Many of you, no doubt, have seen or at least heard of that Urban Dictionary thing. I don't much care for inebriated halfwits posting their "funny" definitions of words that don't deserve definitions. It's an entirely different thing, however, when someone comes up with a clever word for, say, the level of hardness in fruit when squeezed. Firmth. As in "That peach was really good. Had firmth."
Or maybe "rampriot", a word described as "the free-for-all that erupts as soon the flight attendant utters the phrase, 'Please remain in your seats until the plane has come to a complete stop.'"
These can all be found at Unwords.com. It's pretty radical.
GLOWING ENDORSMENT AHEAD.
