Bring Back Hilarate! (Picture unrelated)


Bring Back Hilarate! (Picture unrelated)
The Issue
For a very long time, I have been searching for a word to use when something filled me with laughter and joy; today I found it on Oxford dictionary...
Just to discover it was last used in like the 1600s.
I want all of you to join me in the use and revival of the word hilarate, and be filled with joy once more! Next time you comment on a funny YouTube video? It hilarated you. Best friend got you cracking up? You've been hilarated! I'd even like to introduce an alternate spelling, hilariated.

I find this entry in the urban dictionary quite fitting to my cause. Let's make it an official member of the English language.
