5 words I did not know this time last week.

  • LOL-Kitteh; great post trying to track the origins of this strange language that teh cats use to communicate on teh internets.

  • Ceauşima, a portmanteau of Ceauşescu and Hiroshima, describing the areas of Bucharest devastated by Ceauşescu's architectural policies.

  • Zeptogram, appearing in an article about the weight of a single cell.

  • Accismus, a classic word for the irony of expressing disinterest in something you are offered and actually desire.

  • Heeb-Hop, a term for jewish rappers like MC Rebbe and 50 Shekel.
