It is sad that I know this, but some of the words are listed incorrectly in this link.

They have any entry as "cromulent." The correct made up word is "promulent." As in, "Embiggens" is a perfectly promulent word.

Also, for the record, the one i use all the time is "jerkface." Bart taunts Jimbo Jones with, "Hey jerface, you have the face of a jerk."

I'm done being a nerd now ... er, for the next five minutes.

Seeing that it's wikipedia, you are encouraged to correct it. I'm serious.

They left out "Woozle Wuzzle".
Wait, what am I telling you guys for?
I guess I need to go add it myself.

Now I thought I was a big nerd, but it turns out that the fake word really is "cromulent" and other people have done a lot of research to prove it. Promulent just makes so much more sense to me because it sounds like prominent.

They don't have "jerkface" though, so perhaps I will make my contribution to nerdkind.

i love wikipedia. there. i said it.

Dan - So, that was your "poor/bizarro" revision, eh?

Promulent? That's unpossible!

kegz - Can links be embedded in these comments? I tried the good 'ol "a href=" for the link above, but it didn't preview, so I gave up. Just curious.

I have disabled HTML in the comments on purpose because of evildoers. If you want to post a link, just paste like you did.

No, i never actually changed it. I reviewed my Simpsons Book, and they have a quote from that episode listed as "cromulent". There is also a really throrough explanation on the site having to do with that word being lifted from "Black Adder" - a British comedy. So i figured that i was outgeeked. It's funny that other people thought it was "promulent" though.

I did create the entry for "Jerkface". So i have made my mark.
