Gallant Efforts

[DrPlacebo]

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.

I can no longer see the word "berserker" without that scene from Clerks running through my head.

On the same board where I unexpectedly scored points for HYPERMODEST, I tried a few more HYPER- words with much less success...

No points for HYPERSOUR, HYPERDOME, or HYPERMOUSE.

Dang! I swear there was a HYPERMOUSE running around in here a few days ago!

If you're from Pittsburgh, you may be disappointed to learn that YINZ doesn't score points.
