‘Lucor’ and ‘tepor’ are going into my vocabulary. ‘Rigify’ means adding struts, right?

Vigid sounds like a good candidate for trash romance novel writers so they can have a substitute for "turgid". Rigify definitely sounds like part of the 3D animation process, as in "Boss says I need to rigify this character's vigid manhood so they can animate it for the upcoming love scene"

The noun form of "lucid" already exists and it's "lucidity," not "lucor."

And “liquor” doesn’t mean “liquidity” so it doesn’t fit with the rest of the column.

This discussion is positively torpific! ...Which autocorrects to "torporific," huh.

Coolth is a real word, the opposite of warmth, but nobody ever uses it.

Lucre is already a word and means money. Also torrid isn't on the chart. E: Humidor is also already a word it's a thing you put cigars in.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fob4r2N-upg So here is a funny graphic that requires a bit of backstory, (and is buried in a video but c'est la vie) but it's December 25th so I can't think of a better idea than to explain this. So basically, Kevin Nash is a tall dude and he's very charming and funny and professional wrestling's pile of human filth Vince McMahon thought that he'd be the Next Hulk Hogan, a job that McMahon has basically been chasing for forty years. The problem of course being Hulk Hogan was basically a product of a very specific moment in time and McMahon's plan for noted smug charming guy Kevin Nash was absolute trash. The video shows Nash in his best, being a charming smary jokester claiming he was the greatest drawing champion in history. Obviously the joke is that this is not the case and in fact it basically poisoned the well for both him as a top figure (he'd only go on to be the second guy in the nWo) in wrestling and the more important thing prevent Razon Ramon/Scott Hall from being able to be the top champion he was meant to be.

I need to find a use for torpible somehow. Lucific is pretty great too, but it totally sounds like it would be the name of a Danzig album.

Into that yawning ancestral crypt, I fervibly stepped downwards. Unknown darkness liquibly reached and grabbed at my feet, and I felt my skin pallify. Unfathomable tepor rigified my limbs; I knew that my future was terrid.
