Hey friends

So my roommate Lorraine and I are in love with the game Words With Friends. Often we try to play words just for the sake of getting rid of letters. We hardly ever know what these words mean; basically, we're making them up and somehow they turn out to be real.

I will be documenting such words on this blog.
