Thanks to all who voted for any words I submitted (yeah, I'm a noob). If only they could issue more points for me to vote with...there are so many great entries. It's hard to vote knowing that you only have two to work with. Something that may give some of you a kick: I went to work with a few words you have entered and we are using them in regular conversation - how funny! And yes, of course I gave you credit. ;) - PolishedAmethyst, 2007-01-21: 03:14:00

Yeah, sometimes I feel it'd be nice if we could rank them instead of voting, but there are often too many. At least we get to vote for two. - ErWenn, 2007-01-21: 10:55:00

I'm curious, which ones have you managed to slip into conversation, and how much did you have to explain yourself? - ErWenn, 2007-01-21: 10:55:00
