You might think this is a dictionary, but you'd be wrong. A dictionary is something you open or search to find or refresh your knowledge of a word you don't recognize or one whose meaning escapes you. While the format of the book mimics that of dictionaries, unless you have been reading my blog RatBlurt™, you won't find these words anywhere—at least not yet. I might have called it the "Anti-Dictionary" because the idea is for you to find non-words you like and take them elsewhere to use as you please. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, normal words fail to express the idea or thought we want to convey. Sometimes, at least in my case, those ideas or thoughts are ridiculous and so are the words invented to capture them in this Ridictionary. Feel free to enjoy the ones you find here and the RatBlurt™ blog posts in which they originated. Be careful, though. You might find yourself straying into argotnaut waters. Even worse, you might find it fun and silly and addictive, or as I would put it, funillidictive. If that happens, and I hope it does, you will be in good company...well, at least in my company. I leave the qualitative judgment up to you.
