Well folks, I love words.
heehee
And I decided that you deserved to be in the know of which words are THE BEST.
Therefore my words will be published here, on this blog.
Heres how it'll work;
I will post my words here, on a single post, and you will tell me if there is a word that is NOT on the list that you think is worthy of listiness.
You will make me aware of the said words by  posting a comment with the word and definition.
This way, the list will grow, grow, GROW!
And it shall eventually take over the world. Oh, and also please include your name in your requesting comment
