Best Word of the Day Tweets
by johannespunkt
Hi, this is a self-indulgent post. Almost every day I give you, the Internet, a word of the day. Most of the time it’s a neologism, other times it’s a reinterpretation of an old word, or an outright lie. What you want to do with it is up to you. Here are some of the best ones so far, measured in retweets or how smug I feel about them.
