1. They had it knocked down very quickly -

3. Thanks for the interesting new word - swivet! n/t

8. Every time I use it, I hear

my mom talking to teenaged me: "You're just working yourself into a swivet!"

4. I didn't believe 'swivet' was a valid word but it turns out it is perfectly cromulent. n/t

5. I for one am always grateful to have my vocabulary embiggened... (nt)

9. Made me laugh!

Seems like embiggened should be in the Jabberwocky . . .

7. And not often one can use cromulent in a sentence!

11. Given its cromulence, your use of swivet has embiggened my word-hoard. n/t

[enlightenment]

12. And I get to add "word-hoard" to mine!

I think I need to ask the artist to create a hoard of words!

6. Guess they weren't lying when they said pool parties are the hot new thing in Vegas... (nt)
