Words, And Well...More Words

I recently came across an intriguing website. It's called Word Spy and it documents and defines words that are not yet in the dictionary, but one day might be. The creativeness of the words are amazing.

Here's a sampling:

--Behaviorceutical n. A physical activity that improves mental health, particularly by reducing stress or anxiety.

--Failson n. An adult son who is under- or unemployed and lives with his parents, particularly one who has no goal other than to spend the day playing video games and watching porn.

--Starve the Beast v. To cut taxes with the intent of using the reduced revenue as an excuse to drastically reduce the size and number of services offered by a government.
