Asativum, you might enjoy this. :-)
Likewise. And just because these aren't (commonly used) words doesn't mean they shouldn't be!
I vote yes on all accounts. :-)
You could fenestrate a computer by installing Microsoft Windows on it, perhaps. Or by throwing it in the window, though that would be bad for a computer.
When a kid hits a baseball out of the park and it goes through someone's window, is it being fenestrated?
That's a great article. Thanks!
You may enjoy this article.
So it goes. Thanks for the heads-up! I'll have to think about including controvertible, I think.
I fear I may have led you astray! Unbeknownst to me, controvertible is apparently a perfectly serviceable word. In fact, I've decided to go whole hog and change it to vertible on my list. Cuz that's how I roll.
A real debt owed to Nkocharh's list, sans prefix.
Gormless is a beaut! Not sure what I'll do about defenstrate (which is a great word on its own merits) or decapitate. Both capitate and fenestrated have meanings (health insurance, at least in the USA, and architecture respecively), if not quite the opposite of their de- counterparts.
gormless
decapitate, defenestrate
Wonderful. I'll add them. Lately I've actually heard people say they were gruntled, more as a joke than anything.
how about uncouth and disgruntled? those are two of my favorites
