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.
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...
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".
