Funny that I'm about to go to a rehearsal of the Brahms Requiem... I decided to play one game before leaving for rehearsal and found RECITATIVOS.Leave a comment:

INCONCEIVABLE! Not my longest or best word nor even an obscure one, but it made me smile. I didn't click on the definition to find out if it means what I think it means, I'm pretty sure I already know.Leave a comment:

During August I came across SEMIDEMISEMIQUAVER. I am sorry that I did not note who had originally found it. The word just makes me smile every time I say it.Leave a comment:

A shorter one that I half expected wouldn't count: TRACEUR. Having parkour enthusiasts in the family counts for something, I guess.Leave a comment:

I know haven't been active in ages (is it still the Cenozoic?), but apparently I'm not too rusty. Found PHENYLETHYLAMINES (a kind of antidepressant) and PHOTOSYNTHATES (any products of photosynthesis)Leave a comment:

Edit: Wow, that was crazy. I just played MICROSPECTROPHOTOMETRY for 2 records on a game that was played 15 times. I know the same word often comes out at the same time on different boards but could hardly believe my eyes when I saw it just after writing about it.
Also, a shout-out to mcdonna. I see you started playing again a couple months ago. Welcome back! (I dunno if you'll see this or not as you may not have figured out the new forum here.)Last edited by lalatan; 08-14-2019, 05:00 PM.Leave a comment:

Just posting kudos to GalwayBob who I see found MICROSPECTROPHOTOMETRIC ! I was trying all kinds of variations on micro, photo, and metric, but GalwayBob put it all together with the Spectro!Leave a comment:

Not as fancy as your word but I just stumbled across rollerbladings--I'm not very proficient at finding longer words so this made me happyLeave a comment:

I just found FERROMOLYBDENUM. I saw MOLYBDENUM (and thought about an old post by flops mentioning "molly be damned"), and looked for something to add. It was worth a lot less than what I wanted (it was 28 points), but I couldn't resist.Leave a comment:

MUCOMEMBRANOUS. I saw MEMBRANOUS first, then noticed there was an O next to the beginning of it and went looking for a prefix.Leave a comment:

Traditionalises? Yup, it's accepted. Forget how many points, I think 27.Leave a comment:
