Is there some reason that I'm seeing the word "cromulent" more and more now? (for those not in the know the word is originally from a Simpsons episode in the mid 90's)
- pavel_lishin 9y agoI haven't noticed any particular uptick, myself - I see it occasionally, and always smile a little when I notice it.
- ghostbrainalpha 9y agoI think the trend you are noticing is real. Simpson's memes and shit-posting is on the rise everywhere. A Bart Simpson joke was a MAJOR part of this weeks Saturday Night Live.

What I don't understand is the EXTREME uptick in "cromulent" from Google Trends on May, 28th. If someone with stronger Google-Fu could figure it out that would be cool.
- NeoBasilisk 9y agoI had a friend in high school that liked using it 15 years ago, and I've basically never heard anyone else using it regularly.
- bencollier49 9y agoI actually think it's fairly useful word. I've used it seriously on more than one occasion to mean "logically constructed according to the rules of word formation". It's handy if you're prone to building new words from Latin roots etc.
