We're up to a thousand different consonant-vowel patterns now, tagged convowel.

Have you figured out how many different consonant-vowel patterns are possible? I've found representatives for a couple of dozen more patterns. Your tag for descriptive missed the last vowel (assuming it's yours).
I've tagged vowel patterns in lots of words over the last couple of years. See the list descriptions for Panvocalics, Panvocalic euryvocalic, Monovocalics, and Double diphthongs etc. Let me know if you find any errors with my tags.
OneLook might help your search for other patterns, such as words with bh.

Wow, thanks! Right now I have the time to contribute here and it amuses me. Thanks for the heads up on the error, I'm definitely human. I have a blog that, among other things, tracks the silly tags I've been adding on wordnik: http://tankhughes.blogspot.com/search/label/wordnik

Hi Bri,
Love the consonant-vowel tagging! You've covered a lot of ground. I've been adding a few of the odder patterns. There's an extra c in your tag for down.

I'm throwing this. I'm throwing this hard. I'm throwing hard. I'm throwing.
In gaming, twitch, live commentary, this can now be an intransitive verb about someone who had the lead and is throwing it away, is choking in a moment of pressure and will now lose or at least lose their lead.

Wheel of Fortune has a 1/4 chance of making a Joker card more powerful, but if it doesn't hit, the phrase "NOPE!" appears on screen instead. Many players spend money hoping for a hit, but continuously seeing NOPE! and running out of money.)

"Hey, 2001 called..."

Before this, the main memes were to say "never forget" when those numbers came up, or joke about forgetting, or to facetiously talk about "these colors don't run" or repeating the phrase: "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" from the 9/11 conspiracies like the Loose Change documentary, or mocking Mark Wahlberg for saying he would have stopped 9/11 if he had been on the flight: https://www.kazu.org/2012-01-18/mark-wahlberg-with-me-aboard-9-11-hijackers-would-have-been-stopped.
