i love dictionaries and words, but unfortunately, some of the best words will probably never make it into merriam-websters official book.

so, here's how this works:

1. someone will post a word (confirmed to not be an ACTUAL word)

2. we all can post/suggest the best definition for it the "word"


i'm going to re-post an example of what i'm talking about, for the non-existent word, EMOTIORAL

e-mo-TI-or-al, adjective.

1. when a person uses emoticons excessively


ok, so our inaugural word shall be:

chimley
