   Holy shit! This makes me so happy!

   XKCD is brilliant, and my only complaint is that he only writes a new strip three days out of the week. I'll be getting this for sure.

   Obviously, by my response, you can tell this was news to me as well. So, you're not alone in just hearing it now. Thanks for posting it.

   I would also note, that the strip you used– while brilliant and one of my favorites– has at least one exception to the rule in A Clockwork Orange. Other than that, though, it's dead on (like always).

   Chris, I think most of those words were supposed to be Russian or pseudo-Russian or Russian-derived, not made up per se, so to an extent it's not an exception.
