How will you be defined in the dictionary? →[More:]
Wendell -- [adjective]:
Similar to butter in texture and appearance

Wendell Wittler -- [noun]:

(that one was no surprise)

Okay, it does pick definitions randomly. I was also defined as "a person with a sixth sense for detecting the presence of goblins", "banshee-like", "full of bees", "an immortal" and "a person who laughs at anything (even this entry)"...
