Clayton, this definition has prompted some inspired commenting.

Heh. It seems like we've all been there. Fortunately, it's been several years for me.
I have made a couple of changes today. First, I have changed the way the Verboticisms are displayed so that now it shows the words from every Verbroom. I have also added a "Show All" link which lists all the verboticims of the day on a single page! Secondly I have added a comment tracking system so you can track all your conversations. If these changes cause a problem, let me know! ~ James
Thank you for the show all. I was thinking about the "tag cloud" idea. It would work well on the author pages, where the weighting for each word could be displayed by relative size of font. Then we could check out our best scoring words, and it wouldn't interfere with voting. Tracking conversations is a neat idea too. Are all the comments from every word in the one "track" or would we have to track each one individuall?
