I must confess that I am something of a lexical collector. I enjoy words. I collect interesting ones. Well, I don’t exactly print them out and hang them up around the house. I just enjoy vocabulary and acquiring neat ones. The Web is a great source for words.BuzzWhack.com offers Buzzwords of the Day. Today’s entry is “krudzu“, a word that describes a management fad that takes over a company and is derived from the word kudzu, a type of plant. Another good site is appropriately named for people like me: Fun With Words. I also like Word Spy and PseudoDictionary. If you like more technology-oriented words, check out Jargon Scout or the Jargon File.
