And yes, 'foamy' doesn't count unless it's in context. Unless you are angling for 'foamy' to be an interjection, in which case shout it all you want ...

Willow: Yikes. Imagine the things...Buffy: No! Stop imagining! All of you! Xander: Already got the visual.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Ooh! If DX has all the archived threads that would be FOINE. Thanks for pointing that out. 10 hours (I am not joking) in the office (a real office, not my home one, where I can do ten hours standing on my head) has be-liquided my brain.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yup, I have every single one of them.

If I only had a brain...
What a splendid idea. I'll vote for it and opt in. (Because it's all about me, really, isn't it?)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Don't forget people, to get words in the dictionary, it's our published authors we should be lobbying.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Unrelatedly, for the record, because I haven't checked in a while, of our 1105 registered users (934 marked active), 222 posted in the last month. 23% posting seems pretty damned solid.
Can't tell you about folks that have registered and lurked, and naturally even less about unregistered lurkers.

Our wings are not tired.
222 foamy posters. A number that is a personal favorite.
What a splendid idea. I'll vote for it and opt in. (Because it's all about me, really, isn't it?)
Yep.

I would think that archived threads would be the place to go for this. It shoud really be threads that predate this discussion so that knowledge of this happening doesn't taint the results.
Sorry, just got all researchy there.

The idea that words of mine might have an impact on the English language . . . I don't think you could give a writer a bigger ego-thrill. I'm all goose-bumpy--and that's not just because I can see my breath back here in my office.
