'Ginormous' the Top Non-Dictionary Word

The editors of Merriam-Webster dictionaries got more than 3,000 entries when, in a lighthearted moment, they asked visitors to their Web site to submit their favorite words that aren't in the dictionary.
"It was a lot of fun," Arthur Bicknell, a spokesman for the Springfield-based dictionary publisher, said Monday. "We weren't expecting so many. They only had two weeks. But it shows how much people love words. It was very, very gratifying."
Some of the proposed words even gained multiple submissions so the editors came up with an admittedly unscientific Top 10 list.
