        NECROMETEOROLOGIES doesn't count, unfortunately.

            Then again:

            And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
            And what did you hear, my darling young one?
            I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warning
            I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
            I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazing
            I heard ten-thousand whispering and nobody listening
            I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughing
            I heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
            I heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley

            And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
            It’s a hard rain’s a-going to fall

              In case you ever find yourself wondering whether a "sandalmonger" exists... no, they don't. But if you ever find the word on a board, there's probably a C right next to it.

                It's either a rhino or not a rhino. There's no such thing as a QUASIRHINO.

                  I'm pretty sure they exist as plushies, though. I think my daughter has a quasitiger and a quasigiraffe.

                    the game actually accepted quasirhino?

                    what a crackup.

                    great find.

                    what was it worth? 24 points?

                    wonder if you can pluralize it.

                    never, ever, ever heard the term. (apparently neither has google as a recognizable and defined word.) wonder if it has something to do with something appearing noselike, but not.

                    still...

                    the things accepted and rejected still amaze me.

                      No, this thread is all about stuff that was tried and rejected.

                        It's like George Carlin said: Semi-boneless ham? Does it have a bone or not? If you cut a crumb in half you have two crumbs, you don't have semi-crumbs.

                          GARLICALLY is not a word, as much as I want it to be one.

                                Berserk is a condition, not a verb. And a person who is berserk is a berserker. If I remember correctly, the "berserker" came first. You may want to read up on the fascinating and repellent ways a berserker was created, and always with the consent of the would-be berserker. Berserkers were supposedly a real force on the battlefield, though they usually did not survive.
