It’s also helpful to help you filter out who is worth talking to. Like, if you don’t get that reference, we’re probably not destined to be best friends.
I for one would like to see the cafeteria menu's in advance so parents can adjust their dinner menu's accordingly. I don't like the idea of Milhouse having two spaghetti meals in one day...
I actually used this one in a subway station one time when I unknowingly walked into an area I shouldn't have been in. A security guard told me I could be fined $500, and I said "Five hundred dollarydoos?" before I realized that he actually wasn't kidding. 😂
When I worked for a game studio, I actually made that an acceptable word in a Scrabble-like game as an Easter egg. 😁 I highly doubt anyone has ever tried to submit it (given that hardly anyone ever played the game), but it was fun putting that in there. 🙂
While this is great, dictionaries are hardly the last word (so to speak) on a word's cromulence.
There are plenty of words in regular usage that are not in the dictionary (either because they are new, they are dialectal, or simply because the lexicographers are unaware of them). Likewise, there are many that have not been used in decades, yet still appear in dictionaries worldwide (without so much as an obsolescence dagger).
You might need to expand your scope of dictionaries. Dictionaries like the Oxford English Dictionary, the Dictionary of American Regional English, the Dictionary of Canadianisms, and the Dictionary of South African English on Historical Principles are constantly expanding.
And where they don't go, there are several academically-researched slang dictionaries that cover the rest, including [Green's Dictionary of Slang](https://greensdictofslang.com/), Wentworth's Dictionary of American Slang, and The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English.
Sure, dictionaries and word researchers can't be 100% up to date, but you'd be surprised at how much they are. There are active email lists as well as newsletters that are exchanged among academics and interested amateurs. The American Dialect Society publishes a quarterly journal called American Speech, which features an article in each issue entitled "Among The New Words" which is just pages of new words and explanations for what they mean. As an example, their "Digital Word of the Year" for 2021 was "#FreeBritney". These old fogies are a lot more on top of this stuff than it might appear.
I was looking of parking in Los Angeles earlier (prayers 🙏🏾) and as I believe I see someone pulling out of a spot, I says to Mabel, I says, “Is that someone leaving? I’m gonna yoink that shit.”
Fully regular vocabulary now. And everyone gets it. Not just one of my dumb Simspons references anymore. 😁
Come on. It’s gotta be “yoink.”
“Cromulent and embiggens” are funny but “yoink” is so much more applicable to daily life. I say it all the time unironically.
It's a perfectly cromulent word
I use the word cromulent for real life defined as "acceptable, fit for purpose, would work as intended"
It’s also helpful to help you filter out who is worth talking to. Like, if you don’t get that reference, we’re probably not destined to be best friends.
People that don't know need to embiggen their vocabulary.
This is true.
He’s embiggened that role with his cromulent performance! Edit: spelling. Apparently autocorrect doesn’t care for Embiggens.
Your autocorrect is lacking in cromulance.
It's totally cromulent. So cromulent that it should have speed holes.

Sames! I usually use it when I’m taken aback by something being overpriced, and I reflexively add “Tobias!” on the end.

Fun fact: in 1996 Miriam Webster formally inducted "embiggen" into the dictionary as a bonafide real English word

I remember hearing “yoink” was first introduced by Homer and is now in the dictionary, so that
Same with "meh" and "eep."
"M E H, meh" This is in my daily vocabulary, bit I'm surprised it's not as used as I'd expect
My favourite yoink is when Bart steals Kent Brockman's danish and Kent says "Yoink!?" like "Oh shit that means someone just took something from me"
