> Yeah, but then you end up with words like 'pornjaw' and 'boatnose' dotting your scrabble board.

You could make people who make up words like that pronounce and define them, and if the people like the pronunciation and definition, the word is legal. Otherwise, out it goes.

For example, I'd imagine that a "pornjaw" would be a certain variation of a "pottymouth".
