The word ‘freon’ exists in Vikivortaro, but not in Vikipedio, nor in Benson, nor in Wells, nor in ReVo, nor in Sonja. So, kudos to Vikivortaro!

edit: I've added a lookup link for 'kudos'.

Kion signifas "kudos"?

"Freono" estas vorto trovebla en vortaro.net, la online-versio de la Plena Ilustrita Vortaro.

knockout - knokaŭto;

Haha, one could have thought that it would have something to do with aŭto! To not forget to pronounce the first k, though!

Ne gravas se oni forgesus la "k" en knokaŭto; nokaŭto ankaŭ estas bona!

I can't really fathom why any of the dictionaries have that word listed. It's clearly an imitated word rather than an Esperanto word. Though I know lots of other languages have incorporated it (and misuse it as some sort of adjective: as in Dutch for example).
