Because horribleness just doesn't seem to capture it. I also considered Horridosity, because horrid doesn't get nearly as much play as horrible, and it should, it should. Unfortunately, I was responding to an e-mail asking me to comment on whether something was horrible or not, so Horridosity was out. Too bad. Word I created in an e-mail this week:

Craptastic is a perfect example of another word that needs to become real - except it needs no definition (the definition of a perfect word BTW).

That type of strategy would be unheard of in the NCAA's.

Brownie, Brownie, Brownie.
