This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

1974, Guy Davenport, Tatlin!:

She jacked with authority, knowing how to slick the glair over the glans with her thumb when it began to flow, how to pace a shaftlength voluptuous stroke with a whole slide from meatus to os pubis, how to work with a loving will.

Holy shit! I learned a new word!

That may not seem like a big deal, but I'm a writer and word geek. Running across something in english that I've never even seen before is not a common thing at this point in my life. And, being a word geek, it's hype as hell.

Wiktionary is the website for you then. Lots of obscure words on there added by bots from old dialect dictionaries and all kinds.
