- timusca, on 10/10/2007, -3/+66These words drop out of the English language, but words like "Jiggy" and "Bling" make into our dictionary.
WTF. - adb44, on 10/10/2007, -0/+42Embiggens is a perfectly cromulent word!
- lukas88, on 10/10/2007, -1/+32No one is going to say those words a decade from now. Remember "rad?" As hard as I try, I can't keep that word alive. It's gone.

The male stripper's dodrantal instrument impressed the ladies greatly.
***** brilliant. - sockpuppets, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22I like to visit Compton Dollar stores and call the customers niggardly.
- crawfishsoul, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Don't worry, rad lives on in our hearts and souls.
- jackalsclaw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17If some one makes a crossword with these .... that would be insane
- airwalkery2k, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19I'm sorry. The content is interesting. But I can't help but keep thinking "What a horridly 1990's era webpage."
- Spacecow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13The example sentences on this page are fantastic.
cacatory adj 1684 -1753
accompanied by loose bowels
For the diners, the effects of the chicken cacciatore, alas, were cacatory.
dicaearchy n 1656 -1658
just government
While we dream of living in a dicaearchy, in truth, we're governed by dicks. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Who cares?
It's readable, it's navigable and the content is good. Why does every page need to be whatever the current cutting edge of design is? besides, there are far far worse page designs out there. - TitaniumJackal, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12It's time to bring back "homerkin" as a unit of measure for beer. Just too damn appropriate.
- jtb4, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Awesome collection of words. Dugg!!
- sp1keNARF, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10their response would undoubtedly be "que?"

- obxjdt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8You're right, but the content is better than 75%-80% of most top web2.0 sites.
- 256byteram, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Did you check behind the fridge or under the couch?

- sundancekid503, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Fortunately "rad" the movie will live on forever.
- skankyBacon, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Who says it shouldn't be in there? Whether you like the words or not, if they are common enough they are part of the language.
- cosmotron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I was always fond of rad along with righteous.
- phosdex, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Digg has really labascated lately but hopefully sites like this will obstrigillate that trend.
Then again, maybe I'm just a phlyarologist. - ajchavar, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5anyone for bodacious?
- estvir, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6I actually say rad somewhat often but I simply can't remember the last time I heard it escape someone else's mouth. :(
We should create a foundation/movement to keep rad alive/to revive it, who's with me?! - miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I think "agonarch" is making a comeback!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4All you people who say "rad" is dead have never been around surfers in California.
- arono, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4So, the moment I blog with one of these (well, as soon as Google spiders it) is the moment it's no longer a lost word according to criterion #2, right? We'll have that site wrecked in no time.
- obxjdt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I think you might be on to something!!!!
- Modulo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4well you just lost the word "about" from your first sentence there.
- eatupmartha, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It can't be that difficult to figure out which pedal is the velocitator and which is the decceleratrix.
- cobbs, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3There are now no lost words thanks to your effort.

erection of the penis
His surgation caused him embarassment when he had to speak in front of the class. - sabach, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3That's the beauty of English, it's so adaptable and friendly. It's a truly evolutional language. Fits into a modern world. I enjoy resurrecting old words, it adds a lot of character to what you're saying.
