I continue to be surprised at some of the non-English words that count. Just got points for ARROZ.

Foodie stuff tends to be accepted, from my experience. If it's part of the name of the dish, it's probably good.

Just got points for BEERLESS.

[DrPlacebo]

And NOMMED. I may or may not have been thinking about food.

Just got points for BEERLESS.

There's an Australian song made famous by Slim Dusty from the 1950s called, "A Pub With No Beer" about a pub here in Queensland that was, well, um, beerless

"Oh it's-a lonesome away from your kindred and all
By the campfire at night we'll hear the wild dingoes call
But there's-a nothing so lonesome, morbid or drear
Than to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer"

Just got points for REMOTECONTROLLERS, which is not a compound word I've seen anywhere else.
