I got "nonfalsifiable", which I'm pretty sure is a real weird.

Are these being generated in real time or are the pre-generated and pulled from a database?

They're pre-generated[1] looks like. There's some checking to avoid trying to add existing words also.

I got "boochy" and I'm going to use it today at standup: "having or showing a characteristic or exaggerated enthusiasm for a particular activity or situation"

It took all of three tries to get an existing slang word.

The ability to synthetically generate real words could be considered a feature -- a sign that it is working well. Was the definition correct?

I got words that do exist, for example "high-performance motor"[1] and "retrogradeness"

That's fine, I guess, for a silly website - but it's not hard for me to imagine a company taking this idea, "AI/ML created X" and selling X's, even copyrighting them... when X already exists in the real world
