I define you!
Merriam-Webster is now accepting user contributions to its "Open Dictionary", which means that my fellow puzzle constructors can all start lobbying for "rotini". The five words featured on the front page at the moment are busticated, dinged, tramedy, Floboe, and adorkable. Anyone care to try guessing what those mean before looking them up? ("Dinged" is being used in a different sense than MW currently features.)

Posted by: Doug Orleans at November 15, 2005 03:27 PMI would guess "ding(ed)" is being used as a verb to mean "rejected from a job interview" or some such.

It's basically an adorable dork. (you'll have to look up "dork" now, I'll bet:)
Posted by: Sue at November 16, 2005 09:47 AMMaybe dinged rhymes with singed. It would then mean "to have made something dingy."
