Slightly harder word game ~ Part Two (5427 views, 1280 replies)
@delamitri You could have a point there with your self-diagnosis. The question is, does it have a name and is the treatment covered?
@delamitri No, I don't think the insurance will cover that, but the Catholic Church has a special offer on at the moment given that it's Black Friday season and all.
@delamitri Well ... if you must
(historical) A kind of sword with well-tempered and flexible blade, originally produced in Bilbao a city in the Basque Country in the North of Spain.
Bilbo is the name of the city in the Basque language. It is quite famous for its Guggenheim museum and passion for football (soccer in your area)
[SPOILER]
@delamitri I haven't noticed that box on Google. And if Google doesn't like it, what box does Google tick?
@delamitri Then you'll have to wait for Cyber Monday - they are doing the 3 for 2 offer with a bottle of Holy Water and a Roman candle thrown in for free!!!! Three cheers for the Pope.
@delamitri That went right over my head.
Pork ovaries - are u suggesting I am a pig farmer and I eat "Babes"? How beastly!
@delamitri Yes in my younger day I was a bit of a wild child when it came to food but things have changed. I am not that young scavenger hunter with the thick black hair and the dark skin that I used to be. I have matured into a more sophisticated, about town metrosexual whose tastes are solely based on Michellin stars restaurants outside France (problems with the Frenchies as does everyone, don't they?)
@delamitri Non,non, mon cheri - OUTSIDE La France where the meat is red and the bulls are well-endowed, like you Rocky mountain moo! moos.
We even do a good trade in river eels (babies) and sell them to the Japanese for the tidy sum of approx €1000 per kilo.
@delamitri Used to be a traditional christmas dish around here until prices took off. Fried with some olive oil, chopped garlic and some spicy red pepper seeds.
And not a ball in sight (on the table that is).
@delamitri It hadn't even crossed my mind but now that you mention it - I have seen the odd instance where some quips may be considered a little "smarty".
@delamitri And not point putting on "the puppy dog, tongue hanging out, wouldn't bite a banana face" (if that what it is) either ... on with the show
Ubiquarian not a bad description of a few people I know on here but usually referred to deity and Santy.
Antibottom ..... who knew? Could this mean there might be a probottom lurking out there waiting to pounce?
@delamitri Is there some sort of trophy? a cheque? a subscription to something or other?
Crutch's backside is not much of an anything
@delamitri You really want to get rid of it, don't you. Is it one with batteries and instructions? I am worried that a second hand johnson may not be the correct prize as you got it for etiquette.
@delamitri OK then I'll take the Johnson & Johnson gift basket. Thank you fellow Academy members and a big thank you to my fellow nominees. I wouldn't be here without them. They have driven me to search for those impossible words in the darkest of places and shine a light on ignorance in this everchanging world in which we live in, Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
(Live and let die)
@delamitri Keep them coming or I am going to get into trouble. I just can't contain myself. And the one below might be a bit tricky.
@delamitri He does that. lol
I wasn't even aware that this was a game that was to be "won", I thought it was a game that we wanted to keep in motion.
Just goes to show you how non-competitive I am.
haha It's probably why I never win anything. :)
@delamitri keep taking the pills and you'll be fine. No distractions now that the Bender is having a well earned sleep
@delamitri That sounds like a quote from RB - you'll never live in a liver D. And you don't drink so ... it's a no no.
Chiasmata ~ an anatomical junction (I would have to look up the definition of the definition to truly understand). 🤪
@delamitri I can here my mother saying "You shall rue the day you ever crossed swords with me" Feisty words for a woman of 5ft 2inches
@delamitri I think her tone of voice put the shivers up my spine - It just poped into my head. I suppose words do that
@delamitri I see that - we need a video explanation please - a TED Talk please, pretty please D.
@..box.. LOL nothing that spicy (plus I'm quite happily "taken"), I cheated by looking up the word.
All I could think of on my own was the acronym "OJ". haha
@ Well RB that is just awful. How low can you go?
While the rest of us are racking our brains to find the appropriate, nuanced response whilst making it as easy as possible for the player following, here you are using and abusing GOOGLE with all your might without the slightest bit of remorse.
[SPOILER]
I am so lost for words ...
Ingot ~ have seen it written but never heard it out loud, so I don't know how to say it. My guess is in-goh
@delamitri IRL is the abbreviation for Ireland - thought you might be planning a bank job over there!
@delamitri Been a bit distracted D with the meaning of life, existance of God and the price of milk - but you are under arrest and will be punished to the letter of the law which will be ... what thread were you supposed to be on? Stay on the meds, stay on the meds Dear D.
@delamitri See, living in the moment and listening to Styx overcomes lots of obstacles ...except Crutchie who just can't let the bone go!
@delamitri According to this word you were not picking my nose, Madmoiselle.
I think your finger found new membranes to stroke. Mon Dieu! [SPOILER]
@delamitri It is a thing for Santa's Christmas list and as you are on the naughty side, I reckon you may be in luck!!!
@delamitri Wow - that looks impressive. You know your cars? Looks like something Starsky and Hutch would be driving.
@..box.. It was very cool. Maybe a little too much under the hood for someone my age at the time, but I was a proud owner. I do know my cars, but not cars in general. I loved maintaining my cars in simpler times. Now days, popping the hood to me is like opening a book in a foreign language.
Wondering too ... probably stuffing a bird with stuffing stuff ... meanwhile
Electrophori
Nunsploitation ... and apparently a good example is dosmovies.com/watch_movie/The_Devils.... . Now then ... another one for the watch list.
@delamitri Now WHERE did you get that descriptive vocabulary and have you used it in conversation with your girlfriends?
@delamitri That was a serious question. It would be like talking about camel toes (an not to an Arab)
@delamitri Definitely - 2 weeks ago - I remember it well, spending hours pouring over obscure editions of hardcore anime and it suddenly occurred to me what I was doing. They say imitation is the highest form of compliment - I'll take it.
@delamitri The question is, how did you remember? Do you have
a. Photographic/total recall?
or
b. You review and study all words here
@delamitri ooh, me too.. seems like more than often lately. I love these word games btw! good for the brain, haha
@maeGastar Very happy you've joined us in the games. No doubt, I haven't thought this hard in ages!
@delamitri Actually, I thought of that but it looked too obvious so I called my expert on all things "oily" and he came through as usual. I suppose you could call him a "word pusher" - PUSH IT!
@delamitri And who do we want to win? And is this connected to the Super Bowl? And what's for tea?
@delamitri Not a good way to start the year. Liverpool got knocked out of the English FA Cup last night but they still have a few bigger competitions to play in so could be worse. Do you have any other aspirations or the year is finished already?

@delamitri Too late - lunch has finished. You'll have to get up a bit earlier if you want me in a state of ...
Have you noticed the # at the side of the comments?
@delamitri If you are not careful, I'll be pressing your hashtag which is connected to the electric cushion you are sitting on ... Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah for you.
@delamitri Wonderful film about a famous one called Farinelli but not here unfortunately
@delamitri I am so naïve as you well know D.
So the hastag thingy is working. I wonder what else it can do. Let me consult the evil one.
@delamitri "You see this cat Shaft is a bad motherf.... (Shut your mouth!)"
1971 American blaxploitation action-crime film - Isaac Hayes song. Classic soundtrack and probably the man who had the first disco song.
Necro - To make a new post to a forum discussion that has been dormant for a long time, making the thread visible in the list of active topics; to bump. Interesting.
@delamitri I know someone who is into necroing and is quite open about it - true.
Sounds like something you shouldn't be doing with corpses though.
@delamitri When I see this word I want to scratch - Like when people talk about head lice.
@..box.. That has always grossed me out to no end. I've never had them and neither has my son. Yuck!!!
Catholicon - 'A good wife is a Catholicon for all the evils that happen in life.' Olde English saying. I wouldn't disagree.
@delamitri Just got the copright papers through and have meetings with various multinationals soon.
Laughing all the way to the bank's toilet.
@delamitri We should include fería (fair) and plaza (square) in the randsacking.
Whatever happened to a "wharf"?
@delamitri Did not know that and I shared a house with Germans. Never came up in conversation I suppose.
Matatu - made famous in the Lion King homage to it - "Hakuna Matatu"
PS This is my 4th "M" in a row
@delamitri But you couldn't be so heartless and letting me know that I was at your mercy, and the next time I cross the red line, I'm have so many "M", I'll be sh*tting them for a month of Sundays.
Message received and understood Miss D.
@delamitri No truer words were spoken by that birdie. I shall say no more, but let you digest the full wisdom of my wisdom and Amen sister, AAAAAAAAMEN.
@delamitri They look like Tim Curry's in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Mine's are a tad less perfect!
My only flaw!
@delamitri Introduced into the OED New words list December 2003.
Velly, velly interesting
@delamitri Patience young girl - u 2 fast (like your car?) - There is a speed limit here 30 km/h (that's even slower in m/h!!!)
@delamitri Intriguing - would it be very politicially incorrect/inappropriate to enquire further?
@delamitri I checked just in case any "vulgaris" was creeping into a "virginal" game such as this.
@delamitri Cool designs - Look good on a tee shirt.
Queens favourite protozoa?
♫ "All we hear is radio - la - ria"♫
Wonder what they are saying? Probably speaking in "static".
@delamitri Only your acrophobia mind (along with my sick one).
"Elli" used to live in the basement with Muff and Ginger.
"It" is a clown that doesn't like Elli and her friends.
"Lite" is a bastardization of the perfectly correct "light" that was introduced (probably) by beer companies to make their products attractive to weight conscious clients.
Laurel ~ the tree that produces those wonderful bay leaves for seasoning, not Arrow's dead girlfriend.
@delamitri But I am sure you make the best use of it.
In the immortal words of Tony Soprano "Whaddya gonna do?"
@delamitri Sending this one to the panel of experts over in dicland ... may have a legitimate call here.
We'll continue for the moment but when the phone rings with the final decision, there may be ugly scenes. Be warned.
Yay! ~ Yeah, probably been used. Before you get all bent out of shape, Monsieur Box, I got you another chupete to keep you calm. Hehe.
@delamitri Baa Baa black sheep ...have u aannnnnnny bool ? (something happening . what u put on soothee?)
Epilog - always had them in the 70s series Columbo, MacMillian and wife, The Streets of San Francisco
@delamitri ♫ Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? ♫
Another classic ABBA song. You know so many now D! I feel the force is pushing you away from the extremities of rock and bringing you in to the centre aka the dreaded MOR land.
May the force be against you!
@delamitri Do yo have a folder to dive into when you feel a fix for the force?
The MOR is coming (oooooohh!) so you better make the most of this. In a year you'll be humming
♬If you like piña colada, and getting caught in the rain ....♬
And appreciate the deep phylosophical nature of the lyrics and the tune.
Mark my work -a slippery slope!
@delamitri The BUNKER, like when there is a nuclear strike ... I understand. DO you think any of the family will be in there with you listening to it too?
@delamitri So it will be cold tins of beans alone. Well, on the bright side , there won't be ant feigning "bottom burps" when the need arises. So lucky.
@delamitri What to say? Well I can't see the screen through the tears from laughing so hard so I'll leave it there and pick it up whenever the opportunity arises.
@delamitri Whaaaaat? Another typo - I doubt it. Hmmmmmmm ... me thinks the lady doth err too much.
@delamitri "And ... now ... the ... end ... is ...near ... but ... I ... did ... it ... myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ... waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy."
@delamitri I had to look the word up as i thought you were messing joining two words together (retard) and tardando (delaying). I was way off on the first but the second one is actually related.
@delamitri Maybe "taught" you. Is that a common expression in your area?
yeah , tardar can mean to take time also eg,
How long is it going take (the repair)?
¿Cuanto tiempo va a tardar?
@delamitri An a murderous Mahonias to you too!
I even looked it up. There must be a rule about changing answer - I will consult my legal team and get to the root of this berry big problem!
@delamitri Screenshots can be photoshopped my dear Mme. D.
I am laughing all the way to that place that I was going.
I sense feisty friday girl on the rampage.

This game is slightly more taxing on the brain, hence the title.
Using the Previous Word, START a New Word with the SECOND LETTER
Then END your Word with the PENULTIMATE LETTER (next to last).
For Example :
Previous Word = rUbbiSh
New word = UniteS
Previous Word = wAr
New word = ArmadA
In the event a word cannot be found, defer back to the Previous Word.

hyphenations, abbreviations nor acronyms are allowed.)
