Whatâs worse is a âwikiloopâ - thatâs what youâre in when you click on a link and find another interesting itemâŠwith another linkâŠand anotherâŠand before you know it, itâs three hours later and youâve opened up 137 tabs in your browser.
The worst of it isâŠelephants never forget!
Aukland island goats tasted like a cross between a California condor and a spotted owl.
(Sorry, old joke.)
It concerns me that elephants are noodling around on Wikipedia rather than forming Peopleâs Committees of the Pachyderm Republic to discuss why they are endangered.
I wonât be able to sleep tonight.
I have no doubt that you coined âwikiloopâ on your own, runar. But like most words and ideas, others come up with them independently, too. How can I break this to you gently, man? YOUR word has been on Urban Dictionary for months. Iâm wikisorry.
THE LACUS CURTIUS is a mysterious hole in the ground in the Roman Forum, now small, more or less filled in and paved over with ancient stone, but once said to have been a widening chasm. Its nature and significance in Romeâs early history is unknownâŠ
itchybacon, I came up with the term a few years ago, and mentioned it to a few acquaintances, may have used it in the web once or twice. someone out there may have intercepted it and posted it to UD. The problem is that by the time something becomes used enough to merit a UD entry, itâs too late to claim credit for it. I certainly wouldnât go around posting something I just made up to a dictionary, urban or otherwise. I get their word of the day by email, but I donât dwell there.
âWikiloopâ is in the same class as the extraordinary discovery I made about 42.

THE AUCKLAND ISLAND GOAT was a feral breed of domestic goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) found on Auckland Island, New Zealand. It is now extinct.

Intimately, margueritem, intimately. In fact, I probably invented the term - this is the first time Iâve mentioned it in post.
