Discussion Forum—A Way with Words, a fun radio show and podcast about language

Slang This is a fun segment on the show, and it is interesting to learn these new terms. Every now and then, however, Grant's made-up definitions just seem so much better than the true ones. In these cases, I find myself remember the wrong definition or even resolving to knowingly adopt a new meaning he did not intend. For example, I think I will start using "simule" for phony people.

This leads to two questions:

1) Has Grant's slang game ever led to the adoption of a new meaning for the words he includes?

2) Which false definition from Slang This are you tempted to use? Even if you haven't adopted this new use of the term, it surely points toward a definition in search of a word.
