Just read the first comment on this word for the first time. Mollusque, that warms my heart--it's the best Wordie discovery story ever.

Ah yes. Feels like home, doesn't it? ;-)

Thanks, reesetee. I've been compiling word lists for 30 years, mostly in isolation, so it's amazing to find a community of Borgmannian logophiliacs.

I second that. Ensnorkelled has no match (although I do like burnt umbrage, too).

And mollusque, welcome to Wordie!

For "ensnorkled" you should forever be enshrined in the Wordie firmament, si. No one has ever topped that one, and I suspect no one ever will.

But we'll by God keep trying!

Aw shucks, it seemed kind of self-evident. I think I'm prouder of some of my other neologisms, such as ensnorkelled or burnt umbrage. :)

Containing all the vowels (adj.), a word that contains all the vowels (noun). First coined by Peter T. Daniels on 20 Feb 2005 on sci.tech-archive.net. Coined independently by Sionnach in a comment on murcielago on 24 October 2007, which I discovered through a Google search when I became the third person to independently coin panvocalic, on 28 October 2007. That search is also how I discovered Wordie.
