Dear Webster’s

I am finding that there are a few words lacking in your current edition. I respectfully submit the following for inclusion in the 2015 version.

Excitened – the state where you are both excited and terrified by something

Teening – acting like a teenager when you are not one

Clish – wanting to be more than one place at a time

Druture – the future you are dreaming of

Oversponsible – wanting to be more irresponsible than you are

Thank you for your consideration. I’ll be using these liberally in an attempt to make them stick.

*I’m participating in Write Yourself Alive – a 30 day online writing program – I’ll be responding to the daily prompts here. To respect the program I won’t actually say what the prompt is, so bear with me – this could be pretty random :)
