So Merriam-Webster had a contest challenging people to suggest their favorite words that aren’t in the dictionary. Hehe, I’m going to be using these liberally in my writing from now on. I must be horribly out of touch because there were a number of top choices that I had never heard of. “Confuzzled”, for example, was new to me but is clearly a gem. Rarely has a word sounded so much like what it means. As an added bonus, now I finally know how to spell “ginormous”.

Update: Once again, I scooped Boing Boing. :-)

Update: And Slashdot.
