Word of the year. Funny. It's all relative, I suppose. Judging from my life, you would have thought craptastic would have made it. Home 77 smass 01-05-2006 08:01 AM ET (US) Neato! Okay, here's a freebie. On this webiste: http://deafandblind.com/word_frequency.htm#written-english They have this list: "Word Frequency of Two-Letter Words in the English Language: of to in it is be as at so we he by or on do if me my up an go no us am" Now, take that list and divide it into equal four-word lines, like this: of to in it is be as at so we he by or on do if me my up an go no us am Ah ha! See? There! Now, read that out loud as if it is a poem. Repeat it three or four times, speaking a little faster each time until, by the third or fourth time, you're speaking so fast it's just one long hilarious blurrrr of phonemes! Congratulations, you've just written/performed a performance/language poem in the style of Christian Bok. So long! 76 Bookninja 01-04-2006 09:51 PM ET (US) Word frequencies Word and letter frequencies. "The" is screwing up the averages.

"Like that stupid little car over there?" "Hmm. Esque, but even smaller." "Sounds gay." "Well, ish. But, fuck-you Exxon Valdez." 72 cfg 05-19-2005 10:04 AM ET (US) 'Meh' was one of my favourite features of the dialogue in A Complicated Kindness. I second that motion. 71 Bookninja 05-19-2005 07:07 AM ET (US) Meh What's your favourite word that's not in the dictionary? (Does anyone remember which big paper has that neologism contest every year? I have a list of "words" I keep meaning to send. Like "Dessertation"... The sweet last paragraph of seven years' work.)
