Happy New Year ~ 1.1.11 ~ to Cryptos!
Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 1st, 2011
Do you have any insights into what is ahead for you in the new year?
My cryptozoology language prediction is that the new word invention “cryptos,” for those individuals interested in cryptozoology, will become more widely employed during the new year of 2011.
May all you have a grand, more fully realized, new decade, as well as a good new year!

A 2010 media example of the use of “cryptos,” unfortunately, occurred on April Fool’s Day (see here). I think the serious use of the term (see also here) will increase.
“Cryptos” ~ meaning “cryptozoologists” ~ has been used extensively already by folks including DWA, Ole Bub, and perhaps was even first coined here, in March 2006, by someone with the pen name “draconica.”

Happy New Year Loren, and all fellow cryptos from darkest central England. 18 hours already into the new year and still no bigfoot or lake creature sightings reported in Bedford town centre. However, we have been adopted by a stray moggy who has been scrounging food off of us at our back door since Xmas Eve, causing our resident moggy Sid to mark his territory on the Yuletide spruce in the living room.
The new visitor has been christened – Crypto!
