    whichbe, does this list count? Maybe not, as it's not just single words. Either way, thanks for compiling all these. *rubbing hands in glee*

  • reesetee commented on the list jihadmiration

    Yes--thanks for linking them all on one page, whichbe!

    Hmm. Yes, I think I should count phrase-type lists if they're "new phrases"... why not? But it's funny, when I first joined this site I was so die-hard about having only one-word type listings for everything because the site was named 'Wordie'... kind of a pointless stance.

    This list is sheer joy.

  • whichbe commented on the list jihadmiration

    Thanks--to me, new words can potentially be a great vessel for new thoughts. This list has a particular obsession with puns and portmanteau (as I do), but I wouldn't listing new word constructions altogether.

    I preferred mononyms at first too, whichbe. (Still do for some lists, to provide focus). Some of my creations are listed under Inflicted on Wordie.

    Absolutely delightful! And an honor. Also favorited.

    Mmm. Favorited. Has anyone added that as a word, I wonder?

    Just noticed this. Nice going whichbe! Favorited.

    "Madeupical Greek neologisms" has a new name (Oligosemantonyms), but your link still works so it's OK anyway.

    Also: buttocks.

    Great collective list that led to the other lists. A lot of my kind of wordplay and comboing. Thank you Whichbe for posting these.
