This gives you a ton of flexibility to guide your wordoid's creation to include useful information, but still come up with something unique, easy to say, and with an available domain name.

A useful tool for sure, but the human brain is hard to substitute when it comes to the nuances of word association

Works fine for me.
Shouldn't this site be called gwb-speak.com though?
