We're up to a thousand different consonant-vowel patterns now, tagged convowel.

Have you figured out how many different consonant-vowel patterns are possible? I've found representatives for a couple of dozen more patterns. Your tag for descriptive missed the last vowel (assuming it's yours).
I've tagged vowel patterns in lots of words over the last couple of years. See the list descriptions for Panvocalics, Panvocalic euryvocalic, Monovocalics, and Double diphthongs etc. Let me know if you find any errors with my tags.
OneLook might help your search for other patterns, such as words with bh.

Wow, thanks! Right now I have the time to contribute here and it amuses me. Thanks for the heads up on the error, I'm definitely human. I have a blog that, among other things, tracks the silly tags I've been adding on wordnik: http://tankhughes.blogspot.com/search/label/wordnik

Hi Bri,
Love the consonant-vowel tagging! You've covered a lot of ground. I've been adding a few of the odder patterns. There's an extra c in your tag for down.

fart as a transitive verb:
My friends have a 2 month old baby who is learning how to move food through his body, and so after he eats, they move his legs and hips and fold him in half to help him. They "fart the baby" as in "we should change him first, it's hard to fart the baby in these pants."

tankhughes commented on the word Kool-Aid man
Can be a verb to describe someone bursting through the wall, a la the Kool-Aid Man in commercials in the 90s.
DnD scenario: "My character runs and jumps through the crumbling wall." "Ok, so you Kool-Aid Man through that wall and see 5 opponents ready to fire weapons at you"
On a Worlds Beyond Number Patreon podcast episode May 2025, the cast discusses that the opposite of this manuever is the classic Looney Tunes outline that is left by people fleeing a room, when the outline precisely shows the shape of the body as it broke through the wall.
Similar to yelling "Kobe!" before a precision shot into a trash can vs yelling "YEET!" for distance before a wild and powerful throw.

bilby I wouldn't add garden variety here. It's humdrum everyday quotidian basic, but not in a way that compares to a nicer option. It's not like there's a "royal arboretum variety" or "meticulously maintained greenhouse variety" that we could compare it to. I like it though, it's a curious term.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CuratedTumblr/comments/1kq0run/unalive/ A post about how unalive and undead shouldn't mean the same thing.
But undead is an adjective: undead zombies, or noun: beware the undead
and unalive is a verb "No I'm not gonna kill em, I'm gonna unalive them" (Deadpool on a Spiderman cartoon pretending that what he does isn't murder even though it definitely is)
