Some Important New Words
Some very important people in England say that English contains
at least 250,000 words, and they ought to know, because they're
English. And look, 250,000 ought to be plenty, especially most of
us use only fifteen or twenty of them.
But thanks to some very deep primary research at Whirled
HeadQuarters (more on that later), my laboratory partners Calvin
Burgamy, Matt Rosenberger and I have determined that even with a
quarter of a million words in circulation, undetermined nuances
of human experience are left begging for abstraction. Here are
some recently minted words to represent that for which the
English language has sadly been found wanting.
Stay tuned for updates.
