word junkie

I've just discovered The Big Word Project.  It is like The Greater Meaning of Liff but online.  Goddammit I wish I'd thought of this.

The Greater Meaning of Liff is a book of words - they're actually placenames, with the capital letter changed ie chicago - with definitions.  A chicago is the smelly wind pushed along in front of a train in the subway.

The Big Word Project is about redefining regular, everyday words.  Did I say Goodammit I wish I'd thought of this?  Because you have to BUY the word, and it costs $1 a letter.

I just spent $13 on crude, nuts and pooh.

Goddammit I wish I'd thought of this.  Those lucky bastards have sold 4000 words of varying lengths.  Let's say for argument's sake that the average word is four letters.  That's four dollars, times four thousand.  That's a lot of money.  Goddammit.
