Gallant Efforts

Surprised cannot go BERSERKING

[DrPlacebo]

Tried SUPERFOOT and SUPERFOX. No luck.

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

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.

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

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.

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

[dannyb]

Hey that's what I yell when it is raining zombies.

[JedMedGrey]

Hear, hear!

[lalatan]

BACKSTABLESS, sounded like a good workplace to me...

[crazykate]

BRATSCHE doesn't count. I didn't really expect it to, but it's still a disappointment because I see the word so often at the top of orchestral and chamber music parts. (I play the viola. Bratsche is the viola's German name.)

Hi there, fellow viola player!
