but to calm sano down i have to invent another word rez- useless [created in 5 seconds flat]
Also, just because everyone else is doing it (and I am a sheep if nothing else... Bah. < See.): why did you feel the need to write how long it took you to come up with the word "rez- : useless"?
i agree this is my fault for not understanding the concept superlousness-and it really took me five seconds, the word comes from a moronoc character in a crappy story i wrote. why i posted the time shouldn't concern anybody.
I am also Zontas, for those of you wondering.

I don't know what you mean by this...a machine that is no longer operating under normal circumstances, or a person that could be called "crazy". If you're gonna use idiomatic expressions, it might be best to either give a sentence/phrase or at the very least an explanation of the context in which the expression would be used.
next: barn; granary; storehouse
Re: Lexicon Building
Poswobs have no true agriculture, and dont really have a need to store much of anything else either. Nevertheless they do have a word for warehouse, bipop, and it can be expanded to sosabipop, "reserve warehouse", to indicate that it's for things that probably won't be used for a while. Most likely this would be clothes in a clothes shop.
