Oh no! Please don't feel bad--this is downright fun! My comments are purely in jest, slumry. I think it would be fun to add new words and see what floats to the top of the home page.
And please, by all means, mess with the schadenfreude! ;-)
Yes, I feel a little sheepish about starting this. It was an unconsidered comment. One should not try to mess with the schadenfreude. I think I will go add control freak to my list of words.
Are you suggesting we toy with the minds of other Wordies? Isn't that a little cruel? ;-) And is it coincidence that you're bringing this up on the conspire page, I wonder? Hmm....
Okay, so not proctologist. But seriously, we should all pick a (currently unlisted) word and bring it up to the top if we can. It'll be a fun experiment. And then delete all our comments here so nobody knows why the heck that word is mysteriously so popular.
Eek. Proctologist. Every time I hear that word, I think of a woman I knew (yes, a woman) who had to see such a specialist and kept referring to him as "my proctologist." So naturally (well, naturally for the group of people in question), we started singing the Knack's "My Sharona"--replacing Sharona with proctologist--every time she said it.
Lyrically and in so many other ways, it didn't work....
I guess I asked for that, uselessness. It is interesting that nobody has listed proctologist yet. Perhaps we could see how often we could use the word without lising it. Sort of a non-Wordie.
Now foible, I like that word, especially since I have such a bountiful supply.
I knew who made that suggestion as soon as I saw it on the comment feed. How about a word that's fun to say? Something slightly out of the ordinary, like foible. The masses will never give up trying to impress us with their command of the English language.

perhaps we could conspire to wordie a new word--I am getting tired of seeing the same "most wordied" words. Any suggesstions? How about some innocuousgroupthink
I agree. It has certainly toyed with mine!
I'm not convinced that there are enough of us (active commenting "core Wordies") to faze the schadenfreude juggernaut. But it's still worth a try.
And I'm pretty sure this site was made for toying with people's minds.

Well if y'all don't like my suggestion, you can just... choose something else then. :-)
Though I'd argue that proctologist is a heckuva lot of fun to say.

Let's... all... add...

Wait a while--sooner or later, the dreaded schadenfreude will once again rear its ugly head.

to breathe together. I have always loved that.
