I started it… and I’m entirely too anal not to finish it.

Skimming this section of words added to the dictionary in the year of my birth made me chortle.

Pogonophoran?
I admit I had to look that up, and now I’m quite sorry I did.

That’s the stuff of nightmares right there.

Ska and snarf. Thank you Time Traveler for two excellent Scrabble words with which to whip my husband this weekend.

But… support hose! Jesus. Are we really that old? Let’s take a test.
Does shirtless Ryan Gosling still get your motor running?

Nope, not too old.

Thwap.
While I knew this word described a slapping sound, in the interest of finding the correct definition for my readers I searched the web.

Once I was in an elevator with a friend and he said, “Hey, you know Ron Howard? Big sitcom star, then he disappears and when he comes back he’s fat, bald, and a great film director.” Pause. “You know Rob Reiner? Big sitcom star, then he disappears, and when he comes back he’s fat, bald, and a great film director.”
I couldn’t resist. I had to ask, “Where are you going with this?”
“Have you seen Tony Danza lately?”
