Ulanacks: Supercharge Your Vocab!

Blogs are more educational than most people think. Sure, you can read the contents and maybe learn some things in the form of sentences and paragraphs. But then again, all that stuff is outdated, we're living in a soundbite world, we don't have time for full sentences! Twitter has taught us that if you can't say it in 140 characters or less, it's not worth saying. But with only a few words to use, you've got to be wise with how you say what you're thinking. But you also need to demonstrate that you're an innovator and on the cutting edge of words, you know vocabulation! Luckily, if you try to leave a comment on a blog, it will, I presume as a Public Service agreement with the owners of the Internet, provide you with a new word to go forth and use. Unfortunately, these words are not supplied with corresponding definitions, so that you may use them correctly. But fear not, readers, for I have used my investigative shovel and dug up the meanings to some of my favorite blog-comment-supplied vocabulary words.

adami- A dish usually consisting of soybean pods without the beans.

pallike- The quality of being similar to a friend or "pal", but not quite as familiar. See also "palish".

bulasten- A present perfect verb meaning "making loud noises" or "firing a firearm quickly or prolifically". See also "blasting".

extro- An amount slightly more than one can handle in any given context. E.g. "I'd like a sandwich with extro jalapenos, enough to make my mouth explode."

Quisphom- A small, agrarian village in Tolkien's Middle-Earth.

Wirmo - The "boss" who opposes Mario at the end of the first level of Bizarro Super Mario Brothers 2 (which is what the people on Earth 2 play).

Dieses- A cognate of the German article translatable to "the" in English, combined with the being verb "is" for more colloquial usage. E.g: "Dieses red ones!" [see also doses]

cotate- To rotate in tandem, as in, with a teammate.

propun- The position of being in favor of the practice of wordplay.

plogyme- An antiquated farm implement used for tilling fields and/or assisting in child birth.

cohum- Substitutable for "so-so".

Now, go forth, and use the power of words, being ever more verbose! Also, make sure that when you leave a comment on my humble blog, and it asks you to type the word above in the space provided, you go on to use the word given to you. And if you don't know the meaning of the word, just ask me. It's what I'm here for.
