The child in me loves the word afraider ... it's a crackerjack creation! Excellent! - silveryaspen, 2008-03-20: 15:29:00

Good one, stache...just cause you're paranoid does not mean that someone isn't following you... - Nosila, 2008-03-20: 22:34:00

Oh, this is an excellent word. Perfect! - Tigger, 2008-03-20: 22:53:00

Fantastic word. Most X-dar words (including mine) seem to imply that the detection is actually _effective_. I like that this one goes the other way. - ErWenn, 2008-03-21: 01:55:00

Double Kudos for Doubly Great Creates. Copasetic is now in the dictionary and can be spelled either copacetic or copasetic. At least in the online Encarta dictionary and dictionary.com - silveryaspen, 2008-03-20: 16:27:00
