I am goin' to open up a serious can of whup-ass on your head. The Duke: So, block me.

@pseudodictinquiry:= An inquiry sent to the Pseudodictionary.

Example: Bob. DAMN YOU MOOFIES!

Slim. What the heck's a moofie?

Bob. Search for it at pseudodictionary.

@pseudodoctrinati:= Persons whose made up words get added to the pseudodictionary.

Example: Should the pseudodictionary change its policy and opt for elitism rather than egalitarianism, then the pseudodoctrinati might become a subset of the literati.

@pseudodork:= Actually pretty much the same as dork, but specifically reserved for a person who goes around abusing words he got off this site. Mistakenly has high self-esteem, due only to his awareness of pseudodictionary.com.

@pseudoneologists:= People who do not put much effort in their construction of words for pseudodictionary.com.

Dunno, Ben, I've been looking at this site for so long my mind's gone completely pseudonumb!

@pseudopodophobia:= Pseudopod, from the Greek pseudes (false) pod (foot).

Add to it phobia--an intense, irrational, unrealistic fear of an object, an event, or a feeling.

Example: Man, those shoes are causing my pseudopodophobia to act up again...keep her away from me!

@pseudorigami:= A term used in hindsight to rationalize a failed origami experiment as anything but worthless scrap.

Example: See right column, main page. [ED.

Beau failed to use his word in his example.

Despite that shortcoming, the word was added to the pseudodictionary.

We're way too cool to reject a word because it's critical of us.

Besides, we might see endless complaints about censorship if we rejected them.

C'mon, Beau.

Take another whack at us, if you dare. We can take it.] [Supposedly, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt

was President he got into an argument with the publisher William Randolph Hearst.

When their war of words was finally over, he was asked if he had learned anything.

He responded, I learned not to argue with people who buy their ink by the barrel.

Also attributed to Mark Twain as I never argue with people who buy their ink by the barrel

and Never pick fights with people who buy their ink by the barrel.
