I was surprised by that and also another -LIKE word but to be fair they're in the dictionary! So if they hadn't been accepted I would definitely have been snarky from the other side

hmmm ... I don't know if I'd say this reaches the status of loanword if you only ever see it on menus

@rejectednytwords.bsky.social NYT has no appreciation for fungi -- "hyphae" was rejected.

I don't think he ever did, he ended up with a negative research hypothesis result and there was difficult politics in his department which he found discouraging. But he was tremendously skilled at making hand-axes

@rejectednytwords.bsky.social KNAPPED, making stone tools

@rejectednytwords.bsky.social Knapped. Has nobody at the NYT ever read about making weapons out of stone and/or obsidian?
A NYT Spelling Bee screenshot. The center letter is P, and the outer letters are K A C E D N. The player has tried to enter the word "knapped," which is the past tense of "knap." Knap and knapped are both real words, but the NYT screenshot shows that Spelling Bee thinks it is not a word.

I had an old housemate who was doing a PhD on stone tools and our house was completely full of huge chunks of flint so you'd better believe I'm familiar with this word

@rejectednytwords.bsky.social I resentfully acknowledge that ENEMYHOOD is not a word, but it totally should be: a lyrical antonym for “friendship.”
