Great stuff. Found a real word: refactoring the systematic and systematic reworking of a piece of text to reduce unnecessary redundancies Interesting that the made-up definition is pretty much the real one. https://www.thisworddoesnotexist.com/w/refactoring/eyJ3IjogI...

Got a few comments about that one and a few others! I just updated the existing word blacklist and re-deployed.

noun. tartou tar·tou a Chinese pastry "each piece of beef tendon tartou serves four and a half hours ago" Time-traveling pastries, wonderful.

It's like that reverse wine that gives you the hangover first.

That’s called exercise

It gave me "Intermodulate" a minute ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermodulation

That ones a little more fuzzy; intermodulate doesn't occur very much in discourse (e.g. not in the wiki article at all) even though it would naturally be related

I got "cyberpolice" which seems to be a real word.

I also got "deflategate" which i love - it must be an upcoming scandal! :-)

I was honestly surprised this one didn't already exist, since it's such a natural extension of the roots: reductory re·duc·tory relating to or denoting products of decay "winding and burning reductory tissue" https://www.thisworddoesnotexist.com/w/reductory/eyJ3IjogInJ... Edit: fixed mono spacing.

I've seen "reductorio" being used in Spanish but the "Real Academia de la Lengua" says it doesn't exist as a proper word.

And yes, it means exactly that.

I got indigogo, which amusingly is the (slightly changed) name of a real service.

I got toxoplasm, also very near but definition is just hilarious: toxoplasm tox·o·plasm (in humans) a microorganism of the alimentary canal, which forms a protective passage across nerve vessels adjacent to the colon, for example in the trachea "there is evidence that hemostasis greatly increases the risk of malaria by toxoplasm"

Toxoplasm exists, it basically makes rat suicide lemmings against cats. Also, it makes men more suicidal and women more... libidinous.
