Please bear in mind that some words are already in the standard vocabulary. Sometimes it's preferable to enter complete phrases to assist in recognition accuracy -- so unusual phrases are good too. If anyone wants to review the list so far for grammar, please do.

Thanks, all! You've been fabulous!

Hey, why not? Seriously, this is your chance to get all your SL slang, lingo etc. into something that will be a benefit to a number of residents.

And... errr... Desmond, is GOM to OMG kind of like pr0n is to porn? Or is it something else.

I do like blingtard... *adds*

Oh, and *adds Caledon for brownie points*

"Lag" is only mentioned once, which simply does not do justice to it's evil, evil influence on Second Life.

/me pushes *add* button a few dozen times in frustration, but nothing happens.

Sigh. Must be lag.

GOMed is a very specific term.
You really should not leave out cornfield.

I will certainly add GOM. Cornfield is already in the vocabulary, I was much relieved to note. I very much like your continued additions. Thank you!

poofer (I hate the term honestly.)

I've been using the term "textyore" instead of "text texture" ;)

And... erm... SAP. (ugh).

brownie points granted :)

GOM'ed means, roughly, a user-created thing that was so good, it was incorporated into the client. (I'll carefully leave the political commentary out).

Essentially GOM was a service that does what the LindeX does now.

I didn't look - LindeX is on your list too?

Using speech-recognition does free up the hands.

Ohhh, did I say that? LOL
