Every once in a while in human history comes a time when a semantic gap needs to be filled; when a word needs to be born to take on the responsibility it was destined to. A day shall come when lexicographers would lay their pens to rest and take a well deserved retirement. That day is not today. Today, we create a new word.

Pronuncation: ˈtul.dɚ (tool-duhr), ˈtul.də (tool-duh)
Meanings:
- To skip reading something because it is too long. eg. He sent me his thesis but I didn’t have too much time so I had to toolder it.
