UKHaiku, allow me to introduce you to the
Words: Jay or Nay Friday thread. i can tell already you're going to love it. nugatory, being an actual real word, would go in that thread. (personally, i would put it as a "yay" word, because i find it thoroughly cromulent).
the mozzling thread is for words we have mozzled ourselves, the word "mozzle" being itself an illustration of the phenomenon. i would actually explain it to you or give you a link but i promise you it's much more fun if you do a search yourself. just trust me on this. i will give you one little clue : tags are your friend.
oh, and a little tip : you cannot resist the unutterable silliness. let yourself go. enjoy the descent.
let us know how you feel when you get to the other side.
(and by the way, thanks for the link to yet another online dictionary. i love dictionaries and collect them. the beauty of online dictionaries is they don't take up any shelf space.)
