Creation and Usage Notes

I had a thought. The thought was, "I always have some nice-sounding word for 'good'. What if I created the dumbest-sounding word for 'good' this time?" And so I did. It was this. It's basically "what". Of all the things I've done in my life, this is the only one I regret. This is the worst decision I've ever made. Disgusting.
