back in our hs days, steph, kat, and i used to play a lot of scrabble (along with pictionary and boggle). and we'd always get in an argument with kathy because she'd bust out words that weren't really words and argue forever about how they were in fact words (that really sucked as a sentence, but you know what i meant).
her methodology was to put short words on top of other words already on the board. for example, LIMECART. and WAYVOGUE.
and to make her point, she would use them in sentences for us, "that shirt is wayVOOOOOGuE" or "put that lime in the liiiiimecart." i mean, really. because of her, we had to switch to "ebonics scrabble" where you can spell and make up words as you please. for example, BEEMAH. and get killed on triple word points like FAXIZ.
anyhoo, the other day, i remembered something and emailed kat and steph: "you know how i kept saying there was a word that started it all? you know what it was? DUALPOWER!!!"
...and after 10 years, this is what kat writes back:
"GO DUALPOWER! i still think it's a word. Dualpower used in a sentence: the DUALPOWER of the chili and the cheese made the fries exceptionally tasty."
sigh.

you should use "notaword" ... you know, the opposite of "word." you can use it in a sentence... "dualpower is so notaword." -Katie
