I've always wanted to explore the word2vec space to find the most sparsely populated region, then (assuming you can train some sort of reverse vec2word model) coin that word that the English language was apparently sorely lacking.
It's too bad that even the best dimensionality reduction algorithms still really suck. Visualizing and inspecting latent spaces is super sweet and eventually I think it will become extremely useful and common...
I got "boochy" and I'm going to use it today at standup: "having or showing a characteristic or exaggerated enthusiasm for a particular activity or situation"
That's fine, I guess, for a silly website - but it's not hard for me to imagine a company taking this idea, "AI/ML created X" and selling X's, even copyrighting them... when X already exists in the real world
I imagine in real life applications you’d need to add a bit of checks and balances around the ML output (e.g. cross check against a dictionary/copyright database)
Also, some words used to exist but have fallen out of use or morphed. For example "wif" is an archaic spelling of "wife," but the definition given on the site is "an animal's fur or fur stock."
copyrighting isn't (at least, in US law) a distinct action people take. If it is subject to copyright, the it is copyrighted on creation by operation of law.

To the extent that a thing is copyrightable by nature , coincidental existence of an identical thing doesn't make it any less so. It might make it difficult to prove it as a creation rather than a copy if challenged (or to prove that an alleged infringement was a copy of it rather than the identical doppelganger), though.
"The game comprised two teams of three (a captain and two guests) who would compete to earn points by determining the correct definitions to obscure words. The teams took turns to give three definitions, one true and two bluffs, while the other team attempted to determine which was correct. If the correct choice was made the team earned one point, if not, the bluffing team earned one point. Both teams took turns turns bluffing and determining definitions.
Examples of words used in the show, taken from a 1972 book published in connection with the it, include "queach", "strongle", "ablewhacket", "hickboo", "jargoon", "zurf", "morepork", and "jirble". "Queach", for instance, was defined as "a malicious caricature", "a cross between a quince and a peach" and "a mini-jungle of mixed vegetation". The first and second of those were bluffs. "
My word was a bit disturbing. Meat cooked in a sauce of raw meat over ice. Yum.
Plumata:
a dish with layers of meat, vegetables, or seafood cooked in a sauce of raw meat, vegetables, and herbs, typically over ice and typically served with other fresh ingredients
Steak tartare is one of the most underrated dishes. I prefer mine after a few minutes over a flame grill, a piece of cheese, and a round roll. That can turn it into something that I really think would catch on if people tried it.
parceleducate
parcele·d·u·cate
transfer (the intestines) into offspring, typically as a sacrifice
Sounds like an SCP ritual.
SCP-6121
Object class, Keter.
Upon the birth of offsprings SCP-6121-A, subject will feed SCP-6121-A via the process of parceleducation. Intestinal matter will be sourced from the closest biological entity within a 300 metre radius, replacing the organic tissue with an organ SCP-6121-B.
The Church of Featherless Birds is known to invoke parceleducation as part of its initiation ceremony. Those possessing SCP-6121-B are known as disciples of the Vulture King.
cronyize: convert (something, especially the skin of a pregnant woman) to a cork or tar by treating the cork and tar with ice or other heat-resistant fat, then applying the skin on top of it to make sure it is moisturized
I once dreamt a word, and when I woke up and looked it up, it didn't exist anywhere. I wonder if I refresh this page long enough, whether it would eventually appear.
The definition of that would would be along the lines of “Anti calf bone feelings” or “opposition to calf bone like sentiments” if it follows standard English and was being used in the correct context
Agreed. The author might even make a few bucks if he made it an affiliate link (I believe several of the registrars have affiliate programs).
Like others in this thread, I've really been tempted to register a few of the ones it's come up with for me. I will definitely come back and give it a whirl the next time I need a new name.
Appears to be a collection of perfectly cromulent words; someone should propulgate them into wider use in order to embiggen the vocabulary of our youth.
excalculate
ex·cal·cu·late
present (something) as a number to prove a mathematical result, check an error, or settle an argument
"excalculate your estimate with the data at hand"

I bet some would get adopted eventually.

(Or someone with a bit of spare time should. Then again, maybe they have, and this is the 7th time I've made that suggestion).
noun. endosciller en·dosciller
extroraptor
ex·tro·rap·tor
a device by which a fetus is detached from another animal by means of an entrails lasso and inserted in other muscles
"underhanded methods of caressing the fetus with an extroraptor device"
I just got “mycobiology”, with a perfectly correct definition. I’m guessing its dictionary is incomplete, and it reinvented that word on its own.

mammical - relating to mammals "mammical mammal food"

tachycloid - a fossilized fingerless skull consisting mainly of rounded fragments, each containing paired digits
I kinda want to see art generated from that last one as a prompt. Sounds terrifying.
noun.

What even makes a word 'real'? I think is the bigger question, if you can say something that everyone implicitly understands, is that not real?
