Stolen from Toz on the Wiki forums, but since I have a disturbing interest in language and linguistics I really wanna bring this here. Basically, the first user posts a made-up word and the second one defines it. Bonus points if you put in the effort to make a proper dictionary entry with pronunciation, definition, type of speech, and example sentence.
