Sounds like we gotta make a trip to the Dictionary Of Obscure Sorrows https://www.dictionaryofobscuresorrows.com/

That sounds awesome, but in practice perhaps it should be called the dictionary of bad web design. I get one tiny column on the left side of my phone screen. The "Continue" and "Archive" buttons/links are seemingly only at the very bottom of the page, and they don't work when tapped on.

Is there an obscure sorrow in the dictionary for that?

The wends, perhaps?

The terrible formatting is basically because it's a blog in which each word is posted as the writer comes up with them rather than being an actual dictionary. I have the book and it's somewhat better sorted, but even then it's grouped into general themes rather than alphabetical order
