A sparsuit sounds pretty badass.

Pigmon, Mailpsy, Tournilus, Ninorac—these are definitely new Pokémon.

In seriousness, put any two of these together & you'll probably get a solid, quasi-memorable password.

The original @everyword by our own (and my own) aparrish is a book now, from Instar Books! Coming to a bookstore near you on like, Oct. 10 or something. Burlington? Somewhere in Vermont.

Sorry, I hope it is not "intertemfrip" to post about this here. I'm just pretty excited. My girlfriend made a BOOK out of tweets from a bot that inspired other bots including presumably this one and it is a real thing!!!* I am having "estisymp" just thinking about it!

*I haven't actually SEEN the physical book yet, but I assume it exists as she is going on a book tour in what I imagine will be a "regalcar".

*squints* Are you sure they're non-words and not words taken randomly from Finnegans Wake?

I guess technically most of these are now hapax legomena?

BTW, this was a MeFi Project a while back. I got the list of syllables from running a hyphenation script across the dictionary -- there are more details on the Projects link. And yes, it's inspired by aparrish's bot (awesome to hear about the book!).

Which dictionary? I think noncycle is awfully wordlike.

This reminds me of the outta-be-a-word that I almost chose as my username here, before making a decision about which of my online activities I wanted to be easily correlated. (For that reason I won't actually write it here and request others don't, either.) But in organic chemistry, sometimes substances are only different in the positioning of the parts of their molecules around a ring. The positions are named ortho, meta, and para. Well, those Greek roots also show up in other words—so there's "ortho" "dox" as a real word, and "para" "dox" as a real word. But "dox" doesn't seem to make a real word when combined with "meta". So sometimes, in some places online, it's me. Although I now see it's also used by some others for some other purposes, so great minds think alike and all that.

I always want to have these bots on my feed but they post every hour or so and my twitter feed is super-cluttered as it is. I know, all my problems should be so small.

Wait, so if I find a nonword that's ACTUALLY a word, even in Ye Aulde Englysh, do I win something?

Looks like a fun resource for naming characters: Lanseda Grubech, Circon Regassev, Tournilis Holonon, Tommas Travic, Sursus Subbaili.
