If you've been following this little monster of a word game I created last week called #AVWORDS, you have seen long lists of words from some very creative members of our aviation family. It started with a couple of words I threw on to a Twitstream, and it grew from there. But By last Friday, it started to look like it had ran its course...a short-lived Twitter meme that while being great fun for a while, was soon destined to die a reasonably fast death.

The traffic on the #AVWORDS stream was about stopped when AOPA picked up the story for their Friday eBrief. Well we all know what happens when AOPA picks up a story...it goes viral quickly!

It did not take long for traffic to again pick up, and by Saturday night, I started losing the ability to keep up with it. A guy can only copy/paste so fast. So what follows is a collection of some of my favorites, gleaned from this stream:
