space tiger from reddit's awesome word combination chart

A quirky post on Reddit theorizes that when you combine two awesome words -- like "rocket," "laser" or "ninja" -- they equal something more than twice as awesome. The post includes a huge chart of awesome word combos, and people are leaving comments about their favorites.

One of the central debates of this thread: does doubling a word more than double its awesomeness? As evidence that it does, I direct you to the "beard beard" column on the chart. Some of the so-called awesome words are controversial, though. Are babies, old people, underpants and sparkles actually awesome? Reddit couldn't decide. (But we know how Urlbot Eliot feels about old people: loves 'em!)

We'll let you check the chart out and draw your own conclusions. It's way too expansive and awesome to fit into one blog post, so you'll have to click to expand it to full robot laser ninja chicken size.

Meanwhile, we've also taken the liberty of imagining what some of these combinations of awesome words might look like in real life. Amateurish photoshops ahoy, after the jump!
