Doesn’t it? It was in an article on dictionary.com about words that might be dropped from the dictionary.

I agree with XS and SG - this definitely sounds made up and i love it! Why haven’t we had this word before? It’s freaking frigorific in some parts of the world but still blazing here!

67 this morning. High predicted of 97 in Flatland.

I believe Dancing With the Stars has finally jumped the shark. Nancy Grace, Chaz Bono and Ron Artess are guesting this season. Hope Capt. Ahab doesn’t throw a harpoon at Chaz or Nancy.

The guy is great, no question.

The argument about you don’t choose the time, the time chooses you, is far more accurate in his context, than Cong. Ryan.

I’d turn out Perry like a 2 dollar ho, if he declared.

(Prosperity)... It is also the ticket out of dependency for people who can work but have been robbed of their dignity by addiction to a government check

Brilliant line from that article!
