The Double-Tongued Dictionary (formerly Double-Tongued Word Wrester) was originally a web lexicon of new words and fringe English compiled and edited by A Way with Words co-host Grant Barrett and volunteers since 2004. In 2012, the dictionary was merged with this website. It is still being updated with newly found words and expressions from all corners of English. Read about the merger, including more information about the dictionary’s contents. Entries may include obscene language or adult themes. Search the dictionary.
