OK Hive mind, here is something that has been inexplicably on my nerves for years. I want to come up with a new word, one that describes the act of completing a crossword puzzle by basically acing the thing, going through all the across clues in one shot, zip zap boom, and dropping the smoking remains of your pen on the table as you go and celebrate your inner dorkdom. The only things that pop into my head are "Murphy", and "Kissmyfreakinaasswilshortz". Your suggestions, objections, and insults are appreciated. Anyway....if anyone knows a 13 letter word for...oh nevermind. Bonus: Five bucks says we can get it into a dictionary in the next ten years.
