Ooh! Can we put some placeholder names on this list? Or is that not what you had in mind?

Sure. Go right ahead. I really didn't have much in mind at all when I made this list the other morning at two o'clock.

Jibby-jibby is something our secretary says, could be ideolectical. But it's entertaining :-)

What about the sound you make when you're looking for a physical thing?
Aside from the muttered mantra (keys, keys, keys)...

*shakes head in wonderment*
Every potential Wordie list... is an existing Wordie list. It's as if this site creates a hole in the barrier between the real and the imaginary, and the two are intermingling in some metaphysical amalgam...
Either that, or Wordie was built over a Hellmouth. :-)

I'm betting that Wordie was built over a Hellmouth. It would be just like John to do that.

Yes. Wordie is going to swallow itself. ;-P

When I'm looking for a physical thing, I tend to wander around saying "whereisit, whereisit, whereisit, WHERE IS IT??"

Plethora, have you noticed that raising the volume makes it more likely the thing shows itself?
Its like the way things always show up in the last place you look. Spooky.

You're right about the volume increasing as you get nearer your quarry, asativum. I think it's like sonar, isn't it?

I think the volume increases as you get more frustrated, which often means you start looking properly, rather than wandering around the house aimlessly.
