Used to hold up the pants of former Wordies.

I say "former Wordies" because Wordieland is no more. Many of us are Wordie immigrants trying to assimilate in a strange, new land: Wordnikland.

wordnikkers - this is a hold up?

Surely 'surreptitiously overrun'? (Where surreptitiously is defined as noisily.)

milosrdenstvi commented on the word wordnikkers
I think I would just say Wordniks. -nik is a perfectly good Slavonic suffix similar to our dear old -ie. Besides, that double k is frightful.

Wouldn't we be Zeitgeisties? Or perhaps Zeitgeisters?

No, there are other Wordie-like things still to do. Like tagging!

Oh, would it be Wordnikmitzeitgeistnikkwordien? (Sorry, I don't speak German.)

Native Wordniks are called Wordniks. Immigrant Wordniks from Wordie should be Weirdniks.

But what about future products of interbreeding? Weldniks?

Yes--but watch out for Wordnikie's aphasia.

I'm having second thoughts about "Wordnikkers". It does sound frightful, and I'm easily frightened.

Wordniks reminds me of beatniks.

Wordies remind me of hippies. It's a match made in heaven! ;-)

I don't like the "nikkers" ending because it sounds like a popular slang of "niggers" and I don't like that word. It hurts my feelings. Wordniks is my vote -- if we can't just be wordies on wordnik.

Of course we can be Wordies on Wordnik. Let's say that Doctor Wordnik imbibed a certain potion and now exhibits the Mister Wordie personality at times: Doctor Wordnik is a suave yet slightly serious soul who devotes his life to learnedly helping people sort through meanings and collect etymologies, while Mister Wordie is the charming but disorganised and slightly crazy personality who just likes to hang around poking fun at Vexamples.
(I also dislike '-nikkers', because it sounds exactly like knickers, which is wholly misleading.)

Yes! -nikkers is pants!
(Does that trans-atlantic?)

Doctor Wordnik better be related to Doctor Robotnik, else I shall be quite put out!

Isn't Robotnik known as Doctor Eggman in Japan, anyway? Making Doctor Wordnik... Doctor Alphabetspaghettiman?

What about the old Wordie merchandise? Is it now being auctioned online for bazillions as collectors' items?

Wordie merch seems to be still available. However, there are still only two items available.

I'd thought about calling myself A Wordnik Formerly Known as Wordie. But I don't know how it would look on a t-shirt. ;-)
Speaking of which, I'd like to make you all envious by telling you that I'm the proud owner of an original Wordie crappuccino mug and am now worth billions.
And gangerh, I'm all for that t-shirt store!
