Woo-Hoo! WORD GEEK TRIUMPH!
Remember the photo I took in the Milwaukee Airport last fall?
The American Dialect Society loves the same sign! They named it the Most Creative Word Use of 2008. Here’s from their report: “WINNER: recombobulation area: An area at Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee in which passengers that have just passed through security screening can get their clothes and belongings back in order.”
Read the whole thing, esp. “bromance” and “Palinesque”.
And (this is totally unrelated) I really must learn Japanese. (English explanation of the site).
