Of course, they end up in the hozone. (I can't take credit for this one. It was in the Toronto Star recently, in an article on words that society needs. Another is "furbling", meaning that meaningless activity you do when you wander through the zig-zag of ropes at the bank even though there are no other customers there.)

These words ("hozone" and "furbling") come from @i(Sniglets) (n. Any word that should be in the dictionary, but isn't), which is spin-off book from the HBO comedy series "Not Necessarily the News." I sure hope that the @i(Toronto Star) attributed it, even though you didn't. -- Barry Margolin ARPA: barmar@MIT-Multics UUCP: ..!genrad!mit-eddie!barmar
