THE BIZARRE WORD game
 
Think of a word that no one uses or hears anymore, or a word that's just... OUT there. Words CAN be fictional, so long as they make SOME sense.

Examples: Gumdrop. Dewflake. Bulbous.

Got your word?

Good!

Now... POST IT!!!!

(I never got that. why would they be so mean to the people that have the phobia and give them a long word? I mean, when they want to tell someone that they have that phobia, they might just wet themselves. It's like putting the letter 's' in the word lisp. "i have a lithp". lol)

Anyways, um. curmudgeon is a bad-tempered person. :D
