Word Site: interesting words and word trivia; also word histories

Lexical FreeNet: "This program allows you to search for relationships between words, concepts, and people. It is a combination thesaurus, rhyming dictionary, pun generator, and concept navigator. Use it to find words that fit the needs of whatever writing endeavor you've undertaken, or just to browse concept space... Here is a description of the seven functions that are available:

* Connection: This option lets you find connections between two
words, concepts, or people, even those that seem unrelated. Try entering
a concept into each of the boxes in the first section, select some
relations to allow, select the Connection function, and hit Submit Query.
* Show related: This option shows you how a certain word is related
to various other words in the dictionary. You only need to enter a
word into the first box to use this option.
* Show reachable: This option shows you words that are more
distantly related to the first word. You can specify how distant by typing
a different number into the box next to the Show reachable option.
* Intersection: For this option you must enter two words. It finds
words that are related to both. You can control how deeply the program
searches for commonalities by typing a different number into the box next
to the Show reachable option.
* Rhyme coercion: If you're writing rhymed poetry, try entering two
words that you wish to rhyme. Using the Rhyme coercion you can
find words related to each words, respectively, that rhyme or sound
alike.
* Spell check and Substring: These options let you find words in
the database that you don't know how to spell. The Spell check option
finds words that are spelled similarly to the first word. The Substring
option finds words that contain the first word."

I Can Eat Glass Project: based on the idea that people in a foreign country have an irresistable urge to try to say something in the indigenous tongue. In most cases, however, the best a person can do is "Where is the bathroom?" a phrase that marks them as a tourist. But, if one says "I can eat glass, it doesn't hurt me," you will be viewed as an insane native, and treated with dignity and respect." You can find this phrase in a zillion languages (real and invented) and dialects here.

- Cockney: "The East End of London has experienced many waves of immigrant peoples over the centuries, from the Huguenots to modern day Bengalis; and over the years, soldiers and other travellers have brought back a wealth of words and phrases gleaned from the far-flung outposts of Empire. The native Londoner has freely borrowed and assimilated a variety of idioms which added to his own inventive sparkle has made Cockney one of the world's most colourful and expressive variations of language. Cockneys don't believe they have a dialect, they think they speak 'plain English'; it's just everybody else wot don't know ow to talk proper."
