But if the definition is strange or wonderful or awful or brilliant or relevant, some of us* feel compelled to make a comment and let the rest of the community in on the fun. By the way, when you do make comments, don't worry about sticking brackets around the whole thing--it gets taken care of automatically. And welcome to Wordnik!
