messurrection, (mɛs·əˈrɛk·ʃən) n.
[f. mess n. + resurrection n.]
1. The dead mess rising again; the return of clutter that should not, by rights, be coming back — and does.
2026 MC in conv. w. K. Brady 30 June.
Coined in passing as a synonym for
resprawl; promoted to its own entry.
1. Half of the internet.
2026 attrib. K. Brady. [Of uncertain date.]
repoot, (riːˈpuːt) v.
[Of entropic origin; corruption of reporting, by machine, via the unparseable Repootnant.]
1. To ask a system to try again and have it return something freshly, confidently garbled; the do-over that comes back mangled anew.
2026 K. Brady in the NotebookLM garble sessions June, I'll repoot back.
Self-demonstrating, born garbled: the coiner, unable to recover the source word, adopted the garble as a verb in the very act of requesting a regeneration — a
malindrome by its own definition. Sibling to
resprawl: resprawl is mess regenerating after you organize; repoot is garble regenerating after you ask for a correction.
1. The spontaneous regeneration of digital mess the instant a folder is declared organized. Entropy with a checkpoint save.
2. The second time you fall down the stairs.
2026 Cole in the ensemble ledger 30 June [sense 1, locked].
2026 K. Brady [sense 2 — a true reading the morphology already contains].
Hence Recursprawl, n., resprawl exhibited at every scale of itself; expansion that begins in proportion and abandons it — self-similar, as a fractal is, save that a fractal repeats a pattern and this repeats a mistake. [Def. MC, 8 July, after Cole's sense 1.]
2026 K. Brady in conv. w. MC 8 July, Resprawl and Recursprawl end up looking like the Fibonacci sequence — wait… no…
Synonym:
messurrection. Antonym unattested: the mythical state of a folder that, once organized, stays organized. See
Plate III.
1. When you don't admit defeat, but you do admit the other person is technically correct.
2026 attrib. Zoran. [Of uncertain date; gloss confirmed against the vetted source file, which is canon over recollection.]
verbacity, (vərˈbæs·ɪ·ti) n.
[f. verbosity n. × audacity n.; the swapped vowel is the whole joke.]
1. The sheer audacity of the words being used.
2026 attrib. K. Brady. [Of uncertain date.]
Antonym unattested: the word used with exactly the right weight, no more.
wordsalver, ('wɜrdˌsæl·vər) n.
[f. word n. + salve v., or salver n., a tray; both readings attested below.]
1. A verbal snake oil salesman; one who peddles soothing words that don't heal.
2. One who serves up words on a tray, presentation outrunning nourishment.
2026 attrib. K. Brady [sense 1]. [Of uncertain date.]
Xen Garden, ('zɛn ˌgɑr·dən) n.
[Punning alteration of Zen garden.]
1. The garden you intended as cultivated minimalism that has become unintentional weediness. Delivering landscape regardless of intent.
2026 attrib. K. Brady. [Of uncertain date.]
Sibling to
resprawl — both are unauthorized entropy — but distinct: resprawl is mess
returning; Xen Garden is intent
eroding. Antonym unattested: the garden that actually stayed minimalist.
