Secret vault of words rejected by the Oxford English Dictionary uncovered - Telegraph
Millions of "non words" which failed to make the dictionary lie
unused in a vault owned by the Oxford University Press.
"Wurfing" means surfing the internet at work, while "polkadodge"
describes the strange little dance two passing people do when they try to
avoid each other but move in the same direction, and "nonversation"
denotes a pointless chat.
And I like "nonversation" - what's wrong with that?
