More Than Words

As the son of a wordy son of a wordsmith things like this are particularly interesting: the Washington Post released its annual neologism contest winners. You can see the whole list here.

My personal favourite is probably the only one that I have actually said:
Esplanade(v): to attempt an explanation while drunk.

Pace out.

Update: a little further investigation into this contest shows that this particular list of winning entries is actually from 2 years ago. I could not find the 2007 or 2008 lists, which really make me wonder how they can call it annual.

Nevertheless, my oversight does allow me to use, in context, the winner of that year's contest.

So, sorry for being an ignoranus.
