Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies.
Thought would destroy their paradise.
No more; where ignorance is bliss,
'Tis folly to be wise.
-- Thomas Gray, 1742
Here are some things that need to be noded. /msg me if you node them, I'll (probably) vote them up and remove them from this list.
Environmentally flavored nodes:
Others:
- Gomboc
- Sunblock and Sunscreen
- Profit share
- Spring Break
- Tall tale
- Line graph
- Gaki
- Fleet Post Office
- Looking for something wacky to node? try Hans Hörbiger and his Welteislehre theory.
- Soup kitchen and food bank
- Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth
- Badger Badger Badger
- The Oxford Oath, in both the 1600s and the 1930s.
- Frallup (some new-fangled slang, insulting)
- Cecchetti Method
- Sullivan Act, or Sullivan Law, if you prefer.
- Prozeugma, hypozeugma, epizeugma, mesozeugma, diazeugma, and hypozeuxis.
- March to the beat of a different drum
- Expert witness
- Windcatcher or Wind tower
- Pearl of Allah (the biggest pearl in the world!)
- Marching and Chowder Society
- Song and Dance (Musical)
- Phantom Of The Opera (Musical)
- pharmacogenetic
- flunitrazepam
- Houppelande
- USDA or United States Department of Agriculture
- z process, Attachment Therapy, or holding therapy. Should be hardlinked to from Z therapy.
- Likewise, Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) needs to be noded.
- supper club
- Court of Appeal, appellate court
- Loafer, or loafers, the footwear. Also, penny loafer.
- For the bored noder, overall needs a new WU. Overalls could also use a better WU, but I'm talking about the 'all things considered' overall, not the article of clothing. Webster defines it as meaning 'everywhere', and notes that it is obsolete.
- Least hypothesis
- Cantuccini
- escalope, a thin, boneless cut of meat.
- I believe the definitions of Hemeralopia and Nyctalopia have switched places completely since Webster's day. I have no idea what causes either. The words Hemeralope and Nyctalope should probably be defined in the WUs, too, unless they might be granted their own nodes.
- Burali-Forti's Paradox
- Cantor's paradox
- Jackie Onassis sunglasses; really big sunglasses. But I can't make a WU out of that.
- Knights of the Golden Circle
- Skater, and Sk8er (or Sk8ter).
- Thysania agrippina (AKA the South American owlet moth or the White witch moth).
- Securities and Exchange Commission, Securities and Exchange Act
- Front-end loader
- Party Boss
- Vertical time
- Carmen figuratum, Calligram, Shape poem.
- Give-and-take
- Webster's definition of Maelstrom could use some elaboration.
- Hypocalcemia
- Saltational evolution, Transformational evolution, and Variational evolution should be defined on E2 somewhere; either in separate nodes, or in the evolution node, with firmlinks from the nodeshells.
- CAFE, CAFE standards, or Corporate Average Fuel Economy. Your choice.
- Purchase order
- The Blue Danube
- xzylon

Weird words and words we should use more often
(This is not related to my search for useful words. These are weird, but may or may not be useful.
Non-sens words
In 1996 Pope John Paul II affirmed evolution by natural selection.
When Food Goes Bad
These nodes may be appeering on Humorous Writings of E2, if I were to start a surreal section. I'd need more WUs, tho. Do you have any to add?
