The New Word Wrester
Grant of World New York has just launched a Web site some of you word junkies will want to check out: Double-Tongued Word Wrester.

Here's the description: "It focuses upon slang, jargon, and other niche categories which include new, foreign, hybrid, archaic, obsolete, and rare words. Special attention is paid to the lending and borrowing of words between the various Englishes and other languages, even where a word is not a fully naturalized citizen in its new language." Among the words:

pipe v. to embellish, fabricate, or invent (information for a newspaper article).
