Thanks. I am confused. Why is "stormee" credited with my word? - Alchemist, 2007-01-05: 13:01:00

Hi Alchemist, If you submit a word that has already been created by another player, you can choose to join the first player and become a co-creator of the word. That is how stormee joined your team. I guess it's proof that great minds think alike! ~ James - Verbotomy, 2007-01-07: 09:12:00

Googleptic

Created by: jrogan

Pronunciation: goo-gel-ep-tic

Sentence: James was standing naked in his bedroom. He couldn't find his socks. He grabbed his iphone which was strapped to his hip -- that's right he slept with it and nothing else. He texted his socks. They didn't reply. He twittered them. No response. He phoned. No answer. So he googled his name plus socks and found a post on his blog which said "Look in sock drawer". And thank goodness he did, otherwise he would have had a googleptic fit.

Etymology: google + epilepsy
