Gigglesnorts: most people who have seen this word seem to use it. That is still not very many people, but I will call this early, unintentional experiment an success.
FLAM: Not really my word, but again, it seems to be spreading around NC and beyond. Updates later.
Mihi: Only Phy and one or two latin geeks use it :(
New additions:
Iste: This disreputable, from latin.
Ipse: An intensifier. I ipse think that's bullshit. I myself think that's bullshit.
And a question. If I added a random dialectal word (meaning an uncommon word not in my dialect) to my internet language every week, how long until I got attacked by wild beasts? Would one a month be better?
