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.

longs = makes a new long video essay online (YouTube in this case), goes long, maybe influenced as a backronym from YouTube Shorts. Making shorts, making longs.

tankhughes commented on the word just hit the 2nd tower
Know Your Meme's oldest citation of the snowclone is from 2019 but says it really took off after the 2022 dril tweet and has been pretty popular since, with spikes in September (see graph): https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/a-second-plane-has-hit-the-x
dril tweet March 2022: https://www.reddit.com/r/BrandNewSentence/comments/tn740q/a_second_plane_has_just_hit_the_queen/
Sept 11, 2022 (Death of Queen Elizabeth II on Sept 8, 2022) https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/xbijwc/a_second_plane_has_hit_her_majesty/
The "2001 called..." meme starts in January 2023, the 'Wake up! they hit the pentagon!" meme comes from a 2020 Worms: Armageddon stream that was animated in 2021 & 2022, and the 'Turning Red 9/11' debate (it's set in 2002 but no one mentions 9/11) started from an April 2022 review of that movie.
Sometimes the snowclone has "Mr. President" in front of it, with the image of an agent whispering in Bush's ear as he reads to a classroom, but it's so common now that that extra is not necessary. It also started with "south tower" instead of "second tower", which is more limited in its use.
"The Bush learning about 9/11 meme" also means the phrase can be used with any image of someone whispering into someone's ear:
Oct 2024: https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddycinephile/comments/1g5nqtn/maam_a_second_plane_has_struck_the_emerald_city/
Getting the feeling that this trend took off in 2022 as a combination of Gen Z becoming adults, the 20th anniversary of 9/11, post-lockdown gallows humor, and the timing of the dril tweet/death of Queen Elizabeth.

tankhughes commented on the word Glonzo theory
Glonzo is a fictional creature that might eat electricity, and if 30% of the population thought it was real, and a politician took advantage of that concern, they wouldn't be wrong to do it, but it wouldn't make that 30% not stupid for believing it.

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.
