Don't worry. Words are overrated anyway.
Mostly.

I hadn't come across it before, and I found it interesting that the word itself is a calque of the german word Lehnwort. Did you come out of retirement for a vocabulary test?

BBC Breaking News
Marcus Bartholomew Hutchison has today come out of retirement, for vocabulary testing at this year's vocabulary testing invitational, The London Vocab Classic. Being one of the legendary vocabulary test takers of the 20th century- with a record breaking 428 consecutive tests (scoring an average of 72%)- his fans await his return to the desk and #2 pencil.
"Competition is pretty tough nowadays with elite vocab test takers like VanBuren, Holstoff, and Chen, but it was Hutchison who got me into competitive vocab testing when I was 12, due to his romantic, somewhat aggressive testing style. I never thought I'd get to see him vocab test live, so it's a real treat.", said amateur vocab tester Billy Wal, 14, of Chanunga High.
Marcus Hutchison retired vocabulary testing in 1978, due to a minor heart attack and liver failure, which doctors say is due to over 30 years of vocabulary testing. "After awhile, you whole body just falls apart.", says Hutchison's physician Dr. Wilson. "You can't expect to vocab test for decades and not come out with a serious injury, paralysis, or even death." High level vocabulary testing is indeed, one of the most dangerous power sports to ever be conceived, which has some worrying about Hutchison's health for his return to the London Vocab Classic. "The modern vocab testing room is no place for an old man like Hutchison, but his spirit is inspiring. I wish him the best", says long time fan Jeff Morrison.
"I'm 72 years old, but I'm not afraid of 20 somethings like VanBuren and Lowe. I'm a master of all openings and have trained a novelty technique, which I believe nobody will be able to beat. And if I die, I die."
The world is looking forward to Hutchison (vocab test rating 8329) versus Chen (vocab test rating 9012), which will be Hutchison's first high level vocabulary testing match since his Dubai charity simul, in 2009. Tune in to BBC28 this Wednesday at 5AM, for full live coverage of this monumental match in vocabulary tes

Imagine doing acid during the Olympics, if you were a world class competing athlete. Shit's already nutz, so it might all of a sudden seem like nothing and make sense.

a physical, printed thesaurus is just as much of a dinosaur as a printed dictionary. as a concept, though neither are dinosaurs at all... computers have just replaced print, because it's faster than leafing through pages and easier to keep current.
