lkiser commented on the word jeuge
I saw this word in Toronto on a window in a design furniture shopon West Queen West, stating that "everything was perfectly jeueged" or similar. Inside they said it was a word to describe making adjustments for increased design appeal and that it was a real word. I looked it up when I got home and found only this website referencehttp://jeugeit.blogspot.ca/:"Urban Dictionary defines Jeuje as: to increase someones style, and to improve upon someones image, simultaneously creating a greater sense of empowerment. How does "Jeuge" fit in with my work? As a photographer, I want my style to define me as fashionable, stylish, fabulous, beautiful, amazing, inspiring & sensational!

lkiser commented on the word omnishambles
the worthless word for the day is: omnishambles
omni-, all + shambles
Brit. a situation that has been comprehensively
mismanaged, characterized by a string of blunders
and miscalculations; a complete screw-up in all areas
"'Omnishambles' is the word they are using in Downing
Street these days to describe the series of self-
inflicted political disasters that have engulfed the
prime minister, David Cameron, and his coalition
government."
- Independent, Dec. 07 2012
"Today Oxford University Press announces omnishambles
as Oxford Dictionaries UK Word of the Year 2012.
Originally used in the British political comedy
television series The Thick of It, omnishambles has
gained momentum throughout 2012 as a word used to
describe a comprehensively mismanaged situation,
characterized by a shambolic string of blunders."

I have a similarly-themed list you might like to look at: "perfectly good words". (We both put "acedia" in our lists.)
