    I feel like twitter-light should be coming back anyway, but not as its described in the article.  Also, the sample sentence for bibesy doesn't fit my read of the definition.  It seemed to me to be more like the conversations you have when you're drunk in college, certain that you're this close to convincing your barmates to join the IM Quidditch team or something.

    I'm afraid that I'm a world class brabbler, which makes me particularly ludubrious.

    I was wondering what it would take to re-popularize the euphemism, "quagswagging the hoddypeak."
