Gosh, you here really am new. :) ANADEW = "A Natlang Already Does Even
Worse". Said of a horrible feature you've come up with for your
conlang to make it exotic and alien when you discover that a natural
language has an even weirder version of the same feature. So far this
seems to happen 99.9% of the time with "exotic" conlang features. :)
