I believe "Spocksman" is the finest new vocabulary word
since Moran. After Alito I needed something to put things in perspective. That did the trick.

1. I disagree. 'Cazy' does it for me!

We really need to work on a Freeper-English dictionary.

3. I disagree with your disagreement and I'll tell you why
Cazy is the product of a simple mis-spelling, a typo perhaps. Whereas Spocksman caries with it the added dimension of being an intentional word. Anyone can make a typo, it takes a special talent to create a new word.

8. Actually, that's a good point. You win that one.
Seriously though, we really should put together a Freeper-English dictionary. Maybe we could attach it to the Demopedia

9. For those of us a little slow
and don't venture over to that other website....what does "spocksman" mean? A follower of Mr Spock? Live long and prosper.

16. I just do not understand why nobody has mentioned
the anti-war activist Dr. Benjamin Spock.

He'd be a great Spocksman

25. I disagree. "Spork" and "interrobang" are my favorite words...
…although that's mostly because of how they sound. ;)
