A new word has entered my vocabulary recently. And it’s not a word you’ll find in any dictionary, but I suspect that based on the swing the Ping has with Merriam-Webster, it should be finding its way into the next edition. The word?
Interestful.
The origin is a chat Paul and I had earlier this year:
Ryan: Interesting — I get in only four minutes after you in Portland
Paul: That IS interesting!
Ryan: It’s SO interesting, I propose a new word:
Ryan: interestful. As in “full of interest.”
Paul: That’s interestful.
When something goes beyond plain “interesting,” it becomes “interestful.” “Interful” is also an acceptible abbreviation.
For the spelling bee nuts out there, here it is used in a sentence: “This Ping was definitely not interestful.”

I got a new word for you…
Ricockulous.
When something is just wat more than ridiculous, it’s ricockulous – and there is also a little play on words there…

Chris Jericho used that a lot when he was active in the WWE, if I remember correctly.

I know it loses LOTS in the translation… but eons ago when I worked with folks who spoke Russian, Ochen’ Karandash (phonetics, okay?) always sounded so cool. Literally it means “Very Pencil,” but heck, when you can’t speak Russian, it’s pretty sweet!
