Galwaywegian joined the ranks of our published Verbotomists today. His word “Minimaim”, which describes those pesky paper cuts which never seem to heal — as sharply defined by our ever-creative definitionist remistram — was picked as one of the top invented words by Toronto Star writer John Sakamoto. You can see the full story in the Toronto Star here:
