A Conversation for Neologisms
A site of interest
Bluewyvern Started conversation Jun 27, 2003
I recently came across an interesting site called The Word Spy ( http://www.wordspy.com/ ) that's all about neologisms and newly coined words, or old words employed in new ways. Nearly all the examples are of words found in the media, newspaper articles and such. Some of the entries are really fascinating. There's also a huge quotes section from many well-known writers and linguists about words and language. (Including Douglas Adams!) Worth a look, I'd think.

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
