User:Inn.cognito

I am totally lost here. This is the first time I have gone onto Wikipedia for anything other than looking something up so I hope I am appropriate. I was looking for the word 'phlern' but was unable to find it. My brother and I had always used this term to discribe belly button lint and pocket lint. We always assumed that it was somewhat common in usage but looking up the word on Wikipedia revealed no hits. I am not sure where we got the word from but have been using it for the past 30 years or so. Where do I go from here? I have already cited my source as far as I am aware of.

Hi, Inn.cognito,

First off, you'll probably want to use your user talk page for talking rather than your user page. I suspect "phlern" is probably a word someone in your family made up, which is why you can't find it. But you could ask your question at the Language reference desk to see if you get a better answer. - Nunh-huh 03:04, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
