       a surgical operation after sexual intercourse in which a lictor appears to cause men to ovulate but then to become unconscious
       *"he had ludocystectomy to ease his symptoms to a lesser extent"*

I got

```

noun. bronchym

a word or phrase that has the same meaning as another word or phrase and that has a conjugated form

"bronchym for i, j, k"

a word that does not exist; it was invented, defined and used by a machine learning algorithm.

```

Quite apt, I'd say.

I like the "make your own":

fambulation fam·bu·la·tion

    a party without children
    "a fambulation party"
fursty

    unpleasantly or racy
    "some of those old traditions have the whiff of a fursty sense of humor"

"a word that does not exist; it was invented, defined and used by a machine learning algorithm." I've minimal understanding of AI/ML but from what I think I know, isn't it all based on probability and therefore the quote above that these words don't exist is.. possibly wrong?

It wouldn't be far fetched to assume that it checks output against a real dictionary

adjective. unprestigious un·pres·ti·gious (of a person) strong, imposing, or impressive "an unprestigious figure during his lifetime"``` ( https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/u749 ) Hmm. I think it might need some more work. I mean, there's a strong argument that unprestigious is not a word, but if it was, that certainly would not be the meaning.

There is only poor, easily dismissable argument that unprestigious is not a word. The un- prefix is a highly productive morpheme English; dictionaries would only waste space by listing every possible un- word.

I'm not sure why, but "non-prestigious" feels more "correct" to me. I know that those prefixes aren't identical in meaning though, so both could be words with slightly different meanings.
