Reply to comment by CalligrapherDizzy201 in House Bill to improve road safety. Testimony starts at 9am Monday, January 30th by rubyslippers3x

Edit: I thought the poster I replied to may have been trolling, instead I missed a reply of theirs. They don't like the term, but I included a link previously explaining what a Stroad is. I apologize for insinuating you may have been trolling, I should do better reading replies before jumping to this conclusion.

Here is more information on the topic: Wikipedia

It was coined in 2011 by a Civil Engineer, so if the Simpsons borrowed it they certainly did from a very intelligent individual.

Trolling because I said I understand what you are talking about? Or because I don’t like it? Or because of the Simpsons reference you didn’t even know you used?

I missed a reply of yours so I apologize for insinuating you were trolling, you don't have to use the term. It's fine.

Nah he's talking about cromulent, it's a made-up word from the Simpsons used to show how weird their town is/poke fun at regional vocab. Saying something is 'perfectly cromulent' is acknowledging it's recently made up, but that it's useful

I haven't watched the Simpsons in a bit, but I think I remember cromulent. Thanks, gave me a chuckle 😂
