ruzuzu commented on the word hanselines
Thank you for offering up a tidbit for our listing pleasure--at first I'd thought you were proposing this word as a name for the Wordniks who are such listers. I'm happy to list myself right along with the others....
Hello, my name is ruzuzu, and I'm a hanseline. (See, e.g., my Panvocalic Pants list.)
