And M-x spook, available in Emacs since time immemorial.

I still score geek points when I demonstrate this function to other Emacs users. I wonder if the word list is still maintained. Last time I checked it was getting a little dated.

Also, please bring back M-x yow. (I know, copyright this and that, etc.)

It's still there afaik, but you need to download the `yow.lines' file separately and put it in the right place or M-x customize-variable yow-file to point to it.

https://github.com/shentonfreude/dot-emacs/blob/master/yow.l... seems to contain a copy, and google finds a whole bunch of others.

spook uses the same format as yow[1], so you can dump your favourite PRISM-related OCR nonsense.

[1] M-: (find-file spook-phrases-file)

[Looks like you need to run M-x spook at least once to get autoload to set things up, at least here.]
