This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I mean, their job is to provide definitions for the words people use in language, not to gatekeep what words are "good enough" to be defined.
I hear each of the words you've listed all the time, they're part of our language whether we like it or not.
My point was more about which dictionary do you use and less about the exact words added. Webster added them, but Oxford and American Heritage didn't.
Use all of em and if it appears in any it's a word
Now I want to play a game of scrabble where you play a complete nonsense word, and your points are the number of Google results for that word - lowest points wins. And maybe you have 5 letters instead of 7.
