The Abridged Wordforge Dictionary
The entire original dictionary may be found here.
Please note that the ones I include here are those I find most silly/clever/persuasive/threatening/useful/whatever. I don't necessarily agree with any or all of the entries; this is just for amusement. Also note that any editing I have done is minor and generally done either to correct spelling, grammar, or punctuation or to achieve a uniform style.
