Here we call that a 2 bit word. Never use a big word when a small one will suffice. Groan

I believe the word is "management".

Just don't use "proactive", ever, for anything.

Got it.

It is not a word.

I like this aisle. It's empty.

Is this a cromulent use of this thread?

infinite monkey 08-05-2013 01:27 PM

I think so. Does it mean 'ironical?' Is ironical really a word, and if so, why?

Griff 08-05-2013 01:39 PM

Cromulent

A word meaning valid or acceptable, coined by David X. Cohen for the Simpsons episode "Lisa the Iconoclast".

When schoolteacher Edna Krabappel hears the Springfield town motto "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man," she comments she'd never heard of the word embiggens before moving to Springfield. Miss Hoover replies, "I don't know why; it's a perfectly cromulent word".
