Thank you ever so much for the Urban resource!

A friend of mine just used the word 'twitterpated' on me and just the sound of it makes me want to laugh, but after looking it up on the internet, I'm sure there is some confusion in her mind about what it means. She was referring to people's nervousness around the drilling of combustible gas wells,...

Dearest Sluggo,

You just may be my new best friend, as those suggestions are all such excellent clobbering words for my Scrabble repertoire, based on their tile count. Remind me, however, never to challenge you!

Hey Doc, I was playing Scrabble, and got clobbered by this word, 'twaddle' and was curious as to its origin, history, etc. Can you help me out? Thanks. :) p.s. I'm not sure it will make me feel okay about losing, but now that I know it's out there, maybe some day, I'll be able to clobber someone els...

I would like to see you do this word please, Dr. Goodword. I'll admit that it falls into the 'not very polite' category, but I sure love the sound of it!

The process is just as primal in humans as well, though the perfume manufacturers would like you to think it more sophisticated.

I did see this one on Facebook, but I'm not really sure which day it was. Dr. Goodword is there too, which I really enjoy.

I have lately been hearing much in the news about the reconfirmation of Ben Bernanke as Federal Reserve Chairman. Some talk about his 'plenipotentiary' capacity over financial policy and I wondered about this word. Help me out, Dr. Goodword.

I would like to know more about this word 'bibelot', please, after seeing it. From the pronunciation, I figure that we borrowed it from the French, but I would like to learn its history. Thank you, Dr. Goodword.

Today, when I saw that you discussed aphrodisiac, it made me remember the word 'pheromone', and I really would like to know more about that one. I've seen documentaries about its various scientific properties, but curiosity about the word itself could be satisfied by Dr. Goodword, I'm convinced. Tha...

In all my many Christmas seasons, (I won't say just how many), I have never run across this word until just this morning, and it seems like a natural for Dr. Goodword. If it is just too late to sneak it in before Christmas, I would sure like to see it come up next year, when we all 'tinsel' our tree...

Dr. Goodword,

I just came upon this word 'sockdolager' this morning and am curious about its history. I am wondering if you could get on the case and find out.

Thanks for all your fine work,
Susan Ardith Lee
