  Charming! One of my best friends' (lj madmadammim though I don't think she's on here) stories of words she and her sister made up growing up and still use never cease to amuse me.

• jcreed commented on the list word-guidelines-for-wordie

  Yeah, that is of course what I've been doing --- my question was about making it possible to add a word without going to a word's page, and choosing each time perhaps the same list from the drop-down, and clicking yet again to actually add it. Not a huge deal one way or another, but it might be a nice convenience, as it is in del.icio.us, to have some slightly more direct mechanism.

  Is there a practical way of imitating del.icio.us's "save this" link? When I am looking at someone else's word list I'd like to be able to click on something to immediately add a word I see to my list without going to another page. I'm not sure of how you'd want to allow selecting which of your own lists it goes to...

• jcreed commented on the word melismatic

  I was waiting for the bus one day, and the word "melismatic" popped into my head out of nowhere. I wasn't sure if I had ever heard it before. I went to a dictionary soon as I got a chance and found out it was a real word — with such a lovely meaning, too. Maybe I had heard it a long time ago and it just lurked in my subconscious for an unmeasured time.

  In a sense, to be disappointed by a re-confrontation with reality. Literally, "to come out of a daydream".

  Man, not too many category theory fans on here :)
