<b>Here's Your Proof</b>

A list of 137 words by hernesheir.

About

A list of words ending in -proof. Please add your favorite(s). Mine is foolproof.

*Proof* looks and sounds funny to me.

Included is proof-strain, which, with strainproof, makes a nice pair of bookends for this list.

I won't tackle the issue of whether all of these words should be hyphenated.
