The plural of kimono is not KIMONI.

Only because the ancient Romans never made it to Japan.

As much as physicists may talk about spherical cows in a vacuum, there is no such thing as an ANTICOW.

EDIT: On the other hand I just discovered on a separate board that NONCOW and NONCOWS are words.

On the other hand, apparently MICROBLOGGING is a thing.

The guy in my apartment complex with the obnoxiously loud car subwoofers isn't listening to anything with MEGABASS.

No such thing as a METAPHONE, whatever that might be.

It is what I use to call up Mark Zuckerberg when when I want to discuss the concepts of identity, being, space and time.

The World Series taco-ization of America continues

Published in Mass Live October 23, 2008. Darn those hyphens. The headline was written by Dan Lamothe.

In case you've ever wondered, NECROTHERAPY is not a thing.

In case you ever find yourself wondering whether a "sandalmonger" exists... no, they don't. But if you ever find the word on a board, there's probably a C right next to it.

CRYPTOPOETS aren't a thing, no matter how eloquent some crypto bros may think they are.

Ooh I think that's a really nice word though. And in this day and age, could totally be a thing. Let's add it to the dictionary.

It could also be a word for poets who specialise in cryptic verses or riddles.
"So what do you do?"
"I'm a freelance cryptopoet for the Sunday Times."
