What seems like a lifetime ago, a tatty, home-made comic discussed,
"a word of chameleonic genius, the semantic equivalent of the Scrabble blank."
It's funny, I'd never wondered until now what Wikipedians had come up with. And I have work to catch up with and deadlines pressing, so the results turn out to be an ever more guilty pleasure. Ah, bliss.

The "in different languages" is especially heart-warming. It could do with a pronunciation guide, though, And in some kind of playable-audio wossname.
