Phrontistery is not an urban dictionary                                                                              where there words are SAMO needing to be cleaned up                                                      this is about dead languages and why words die                                                           not being a troll but I see drollic chance to engage in this undertaking                             not like the bibliotaph blackmaster who buries words in the boyau                                     like words of unknown origin maybe we just need to dig a little deeper                               I am not going to stretch my neck way out like a camelopard                                          but I will dance a canary a little with some archaic words                                                possible to some absurd but if you don't try you just let words die                                   and tomorrow you will not remember the words to justify that                                    maybe let new ones arise which are obtuse and are of little use                                          unless you are a boman on the streets with little urgency to relay meaning                      so with calumas in hand without carking betwixt old and new                                         spread a little ink not cloakatively but if you like to think check out                                  the ministry of phrontistery
