BONUS! An extra-value party favor of exciting new (old) words, intended for WORDfans and other strange language folk only. While not specifically journalism-related, many of these recently retrieved terms surely have newsroom applications — kakistrocracy, fudgel, philogrobilized and ultrakrepidarian among them.
Please vote early and often for your favorite(s) and how/where you might use them.
Remember, as Tom Stoppard said, Writers aren’t sacred, but words might be.
* Extra points, copydesk, if you dinged me for this headline.
