I was just having a debate with my sister about the word Funner. She said it didn't exist, and I said it did, then she proved it to me. :( I was just thinking we should make a Joe Shmoe dictionary where words that don't exist in any normal dictionary do exist in this one. Here is my first contribution:
Funner - a word to compare one activity, person, or idea to another, which is less exciting.
hehe read the meaning of liff by douglas adams
umm my contribution: Color: Though meaning colour (yet misspelled so often) this word is used mainly by americans.
Us Americans are lazy. There is no need to use useless U's in our words. It takes that much longer to write/type a U. :DQuote:

and we like words with the least number of syllables

and gas instead of petrol
I never heard anyone call it petrol until last night when I was watching some British movie on satellite... very good movie "Virtual Sexuality" :rolleyes: ... not what I expected. :DQuote:

Mines: Possesive variation of mine in plural form......... ok that made no sense........

Shmoe: Someone with intellect lower than the average bear.
