two sightings

[Jean-Joseph Cote]

Former fictionary words turned up twice this weekend on public radio
panel quiz shows:

On "Sez You", the question asked for the common thread in a list of
words.  One list was: chickadee, bobwhite, whippoorwill, morepork.

On "My Word" (actually a rerun from 1973 of this defunct show), one
panelist was asked to define "rantipole" (an actual fictionary word), and
another had to define "myriologue" (a rejected fictionary word).
