Founder.

Founder created a website where I met my best friend, Juice and got a good lasagna recipe from some dude who lives in Michigan.

Actually WOD was: founder, verb [not the noun] = Founder means (of a boat or ship) "to become submerged" or "to sink." Figuratively, it can mean "to experience failure or to be unsuccessful."

Did You Know? Founder is related to Latin fundus, meaning "bottom" or "base." When something "founders," it usually hits the bottom in one sense or another. When a ship founders, it sinks to the bottom of the sea, for example, and if your endeavor is foundering, it isn't doing well and is therefore headed downward.

Many TUSCL posters likely can relate to this meaning :)
