Re: This Word Does Not Exist
#73I feel like this could be a fun tool if you are writing some sort of speculative fiction and want to come up with reasonable sounding words with a plausible explanation and basis in Latin or Greek roots. Reminds me a bit of Anathem by Neal Stephenson. A lot of made up words based on smashing a combination of two other words/word roots (sometimes from different languages) together.
That smashing is called portmanteau in french
...and a guy who invents those is called a portmanbreau.

#74Can we write a novel made up of >50% these words, print a million copies in acid-free paper and bury them in various places around the world and laugh at future historians?

#75This word will soon be an OSS project/new startup/etc. Maldemoor. Brainslow. Chirminous. Hempress (if this isn't a smoke shop already...) All not bad.
Brainslow: A modern Anki-compatible spaced repetition learning app with customizable timescales.

#76Hmm. I got a word that already exists, and worse the definition is horrific. flunkie a woman whose weight is too low for her skin to cover "a skinny flunkie from around the world" https://www.thisworddoesnotexist.com/w/flunkie/eyJ3IjogImZsd...
I got a word, where as far as I know it doesn't exist, but it I'm a bit disappointed in the definition.
It seems like the unique value here would be using the roots/spelling of the word to be plausibly influence the definition. Its hard for me to think that a word with a root as straightforward as klepto would have the definition below.
So still an interesting app in it's on way, but disappointing it didn't seem to take advantage of the important relationship of the roots of words.

Never heard it in that context (which is awful for sure), but "flunkie" is commonly used to mean a lackey or other low-level obsequious worker. Almost like a henchman: the regional sales manager and his army of door-to-door flunkies.
Re: This Word Does Not Exist
#78I don't really understand this myself. Language is either comprised of loan-words, which are words which follow another language's rules, or it has its own rules for composing words. I tried a bunch of reloads and got plausible words, mostly following latin and greek word roots with some extra decorators. Lots of un- and -ers. Simply because the word isn't popular enough to be in a dictionary doesn't mean the word do…
The title itself is merely a nod to the other AI generated sites like “thispersondoesnotexist” and so on. Don’t think too much was meant by it.

Agreed, this is familiar to me.
