Usage

 * moved out of the entry

Apparently a modern literary word with little popular usage. Mentioned in the book Word Nerd: More Than 17,000 Fascinating Facts about Words by lexicographer and linguist and in ' book , it is also regarded by some to be a literary device living in digital obscurity;[please clarify]  for example, Miranda, B notes, in Miranyms and Moses Illusions, My, Oh, Myǃ, that this word is not often seen beyond niche pockets of study sites, such as  (link to example), and Huffman also references miranyms as a literary term of, "English in the Digital Age".

The word is highlighted by, of Rhetoric and English at  and freelance writer, as a "weird, witty, and wonderful language-related term" and Lois Huffman, a consultant for the Centre for Applied Linguistics at , believes that miranyms are a useful and important device in helping students further understand and engage with certain literary concepts, such as synonyms, antonyms, and homonyms

Interesting word, but one independent use shy of passing the RFV as far as I can find. — Ungoliant (falai) 23:48, 5 September 2020 (UTC)


 * I added the two books mentioned in the entry to the citations page, but one seems like a mention (it's a glossary-like list of words and their definitions). The other one contains a mention followed by what arguably is one use. The string also occurs as someone's twitter(?) handle in this magazine, which isn't really a citation; it's not in any other magazines nor in academic journals AFAICT. (It's also a multiple-choice option in this seemingly not durably exam.) - -sche (discuss) 07:02, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

RFV-failed (Sadly, I LIKED the word, but there just is not the evidence of use.) Kiwima (talk) 23:25, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
