"Feel free to use these sprites," [to which we do not even remotely own the copyright]. I like that they give us permission to use all of the sprites there. Really classy.

I refuse to believe that enough people suggested this word, that it made it into the list previous favorites non-words.

nudenda? Yeah, wtf? That sounds like a place you go to hang out with naked people. I bet what happened is that one person sent it in and the Merriam-Webster people are so damned boring that they thought this clever word was the funniest thing ever, so they either put it up on the page immediately or put it up there with a subtle hint that everyone else who's really really into made-up words should vote for it. Either way, it's a really dumb word.

Did you know that most girls really hate the word "moist"? You can try this out with your [close friend, wife, girlfriend, random person on the street]. Just tell her you want her opinion of a word, and then give her that one.

Yeah, all the kids at the hospital are using woot now.

By all the kids I mean the most socially awkward maladjusted ones.

Did you know that the median age for a man getting married in 1900 was 26 and in 1996 it was 27? Or that 41 percent of the adult population in America is unmarried?
Cohabitation was considered disreputable (“living in sin”), often illegal, and quantitatively unimportant throughout most of the century. It became legal around 1970 with the removal of statutory restraints such as false registration laws, which prevented unmarried couples from checking into a hotel, and customary restraints, such as the refusal of landlords to rent to unmarried couples.
No wonder grandparents are so disapproving.
