New Words

We at Borromakkot Headquarters apoligize for the blatently bad poll sent out by the former Borromakkot.
A mistake of the magnitude of creating that poll would normally send any username into a downward spiral, but we at Borromakkot believe that present actions cancel out past mistakes.

Meanwhile, Have you ever noticed how when you learn a new word, you hear a lot more of it?

I voted no because if I don't really notice that kind of stuff. I learn a new word, I don't realize that it is a "new" word, therefore I don't notice if I see/hear it more foten.

Speaking of new words, what exactly is the definition of foten?

foten is a quantum-particle that usually makes up light, but not always. Regularly anyway."More foten than not" is what the physicists say ...
