Gallant Efforts

Pardon me, would you have any Grey POUPON?

The word list doesn't.

Apparently Guanito does not refer to any of the inhabitants of the islands claimed by the US trough the Guano Islands Act of 1856.

" . . .Or El Duderino, if you're not into the whole brevity thing.”

[DrPlacebo]

Living in California, I probably need to remind myself now and then that DUDITY is not actually an English word.

A euphonium cannot, unfortunately, be referred to as a MINITUBA.

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

[JedMedGrey]

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

[DrPlacebo]

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.

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.

Surprised cannot go BERSERKING

Tried SUPERFOOT and SUPERFOX. No luck.

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

[dannyb]

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

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.

[DrPlacebo]

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.
