Okay, so I am going to bed now and I have an extra beta key. When I wake up, whoever has posted the coolest most awesome word will get my extra beta key!
Rules 1) Please include both the word and the definition (or use it in a sentence) so I know how to use it 2) Word must be in english 3) You may enter as many times as possible (please make a new post, edited posts will be discounted)
Anyone may post an awesome word, but if you already have a beta key please say so, so this goes to someone who doesn't have the beta yet.
Also because there is not one word that is most awesome to everyone, my decision will be final, even though you may think that your word is clearly more awesome.
Remember to abide by the forum rules. Please no offensive words.

Really liked lots of the entries, sorry I only have 1 key to give away. Thanks to all that participated!
tea - beverage made from leaves of teashrub! "i'm gonna boil some hot water to make tea, it will taste delicious!" already have a key so when i win you can give it to the next best word ^_^ good luck!
I always thought Boustrophedon was a great word. It's a form of text where for example you read left to right one line, then right to left the next. It's also a great way to describe the shape of the ticket lines at movie theaters. Impress all your friends today!
Oh, and I already have a key, don't need it, just sharing a cool word.
Also, dropping the word orthogonal instead of perpendicular is pretty nice
bifkin cake- A Bifkin Cake is a word used whenever a spur-of-the-moment joke is spoiled by the recurring flow of comments following the main punchline.
Dwile-Flonking: a pub sport played with 2-24 players
The game is officially played by two teams of twelve players, though there is great flexibility in numbers (the terminology and rules also vary from place to place). The fielding team gathers in a circle, called a girter, enclosing a member of the other team, the flonker. He holds a broom handle (usually called the driveller), on top of which is a beer-soaked rag, the dwile or dwyle. At a signal, the girter dances around the flonker in a circle. He must flick (or flonk) the dwile with the driveller so it hits a girter team member. His score depends on which part of the body he hits — the usual scoring is three points for a hit on the head (a wanton), two for a hit on the body, (a marther), and just one for a leg strike (a ripple). If after two shots the flonker hasn’t scored he is swadged, or potted, which means he has to drink a quantity of beer from a chamber pot within a given time. After all the members of one team have flonked, the other team is put in. The winner is the team with the most points after two innings, usually the one with more members still upright.
That really describes it all for me...! I'd really like to have this key to finally play, since I've not been lucky with the Beta opt-in so far, nor with any other contest ç_ç
waste yute Someone : 1)Not funny, but tryna be funny 2)doing stupid stuff 3)just one of those ppl that you just hate coz they're ugly and try to act cool when they're clearly not... =/

"Moot" is a simple yet academic word that really ought not be and which sounds very clever and intelligent if you can work it into your everyday discourse. For example, "I woke up this morning a-hungerin' for some Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, mother, but the milk is off so my hanker is now moot." A perfectly regular and commonplace expression if ever I saw one. Yet see how much cleverer and more intelligent it sounded for the adoption of moot!
However, the fact remains that "moot" is a word containing a comedy extended vowel sound that is only one careless typographical error away from being a guttural, bovine utterance. It sounds like it might be the name of a devastating chess gambit or exotic shag tobacco. It rhymes with "woot".
So, Sheldon ("the" starring of the Big Bang Theory) say a little joke, a trick, a little lie, a sarcasm, this is the scenario:
"Sheldon from criticizing Leonard, so Leonard is forced to find his error and correct it. Sheldon observes, “You actually had it right in the first place. Once again, you’ve fallen for one of my classic pranks. BAZINGA!”"
It's possible y¿that means nothing, too!
Thank you! There is a bazing in The Urban Dictionary which seems to fit the situation, so that bazinga would be a variant:
"bazing "Can be heard on the cartoon show 'Family Guy' used at the end of a sentence in which someone said something witty or even a joke."
Bazing, in turn, appears to be a variant of zing, with the same sense.
Here's one of the definitions given:
"zing "An interjection commonly used after making a witty joke at someone else's expense while they are present."
despairing - overwhelmed with anxiety and urgency (to get a key.......well my friend is anyways) NOTE: I already have a key.....sorry I didnt mention it earlier....trying to get keys for my friends
-a long upholstered piece of furniture for several people to sit on. • a reclining seat with a headrest at one end on which a psychoanalyst's subject or doctor's patient lies while undergoing treatment.
Anthropomorphize - To apply human charateristcs to an inanimate object. (anthro-pa-morph-a-size)
Ex. You throw a rock at a pond but it doesn't quite get there. you say "Oh the rock must have been scared of the water." However everyone knows rocks can't have feelings. Except for my pet rock, he's a hardcore stoner.
noun A hobo who carries a bundle of bedding and other possessions.
Etymology From English bindle (bundle) + stiff (tramp). Ultimately from Indo-European root bhendh- (to bind), that is also the source of such words as bandanna, band, bond, and bundle. Usage "In fact, the governor is hardly more than a duly elected bindlestiff running a train full of deadbeats." — Michael Browning; Janet the Just; Palm Beach Post (Florida); Sep 22, 2002.

I'm pretty sure that would make Mrfred a NOUN.
Anyway, I found this word randomly browsing and I think it really needs mentioning. And I'd really like that beta key =D
Word: Tittynope (lol no joke)
