The Double-Tongued Word Wrester is "A Growing Dictionary of Old and New Words From the Fringes of English", like "shelf shout" "chillax" and "open (up) daylight". For this Funexcise, write a poem containing at least 10 words or phrases from this dictionary.

OK, Henry's right. How about "any neologisms or popular slang that are not in most normal dictionaries but which readers might be able to guess at from the context?"

Here's a link to NYCTom's thread on General talk:

And Henry has posted another good link right down there.
