I have a suggestion. Let's invent a word and use it repeatedly on FR. Then, see if we can get it into general use. We have a lot of clever people - let's have a go at it.

I cringe whenever I hear someone say "cray-cray". Just drives me nuts.

The people at Oxford dictionary should be ashamed of themselves legitimizing ghetto trash speak.

Stupid. It’s like the movie Ball of Fire where Gary Cooper eagerly writes down all the latest slang....that was completely forgotten in 10 years. That’s why lexicographers have traditionally avoided bothering with slang because it’s so ephemeral.

I’ll buy my dictionary at the used book store. It needs to be at least 50 years old.

If a word ain’t in my Webster’s New World Dictionary (1957) I ain’t using it.
(Ain’t is there, argued by some authorities to be correct usage.)

Isn’t “asshat” an FR word? I’ve never seen or heard it anywhere else, then ‘Wolowitz’ used it on “The Big Bang Theory”.
