Hi. I'm seeking comments, appraisals, and evaluations on:

pretzelled.com

pretzelled, adj. N. Amer. (chiefly U.S.).
Twisted, contorted, tangled

Recent addition to OED and steadily gaining online usage, for example:

"It's not a serious off-road bike, though; I pretzelled a rear wheel discovering that."

"Sprint and I were pretzelled by a black BMW."

"I love getting all cozy and pretzelled with you."

Thanks.
- Mike

I probably eat more pretzels than any other DNF member, but I've never encountered this word. Fewer than 1,000 Google hits (though there are 8,000+ for the "pretzeled" spelling).

Sorry, I don't see any value until this word - in your chosen spelling - gets into much wider use.

Thanks for the input. I saw it as more long term myself. I've undertaken a campaign to use the word pretzelled online every chance I get. I'm sure that will be quite annoying for everyone I know.
