@rejectednytwords.bsky.social @spellingbee-play.bsky.social We went out PUBBING last night

I was surprised by that and also another -LIKE word but to be fair they're in the dictionary! So if they hadn't been accepted I would definitely have been snarky from the other side

hmmm ... I don't know if I'd say this reaches the status of loanword if you only ever see it on menus
