I follow an Australian youtuber who uses the word "cromulent" so often that I forgot it was made up by the Simpsons.

Please open up a dictionary tom, you're use of "cromulent" renders the entire tweet nonsensical.

in 2009 i interviewed for my job with a guy i knew socially (i'd met him through my boyfriend at the time, who after our breakup still recommended me for this job - a standup dude, all around).

because i knew the interviewer socially, i knew he was a big simpsons nerd. so when he said the words "i'm not trying to embiggen the position," i assumed it was a bit, and quipped back, "well that's a perfectly cromulent word."

crickets.

anyway i know language is fluid and neologisms are how it grows, but i still laugh about that every time i think of it
