artbizness commented on the word attention whore
I'm not so sure... I've referred to males as attention whores before.
Drama Queen can be non-gender specific, too. I know several (straight) men who are Drama Queens.

artbizness commented on the word pope
A long time ago, I was a bit of a full-on Christian. I didn't like swearing, so I took to bellowing "pope" instead of "fuck" or somesuch.
As I saw it, this highlighted the fact that it was ok for people to say "Jesus" as a swearword, but not "pope".
What a wanker I was.

Never play scrabble with them.

@ bilby It's not so much about vast screeds of instructions, FAQ pages, and the like.
What I'm driving at is that at some level it should be intuitive, so that non-computer literate people can use it with ease. I guess it's the old Mac-literate versus PC literate argument again *sigh*

I see what you're saying, but the problem for me is that the interface is clumsy and gets in the way of the reason for the website's existence - to play with words.
I know very little about coding (as you can see from my efforts to make a simple word link under mokusatsu earlier), but it would be much more fun if everything was on one homepage. As it is, I'm still thinking: "Now where was it I saw that word/feature/list/etc/." instead of being able to make the comment or add (which I've usually forgotten by the time I've got to where I wanted to go). That's quite important for people who need time to reflect on things before they comment.
An FAQ page is a pretty basic requirement of every website I've ever come across though, so I'm not sure what I think about that..

(adj): relating to wordie.org interface.
September 18, 2008
artbizness commented on the list artbizness-a-wordie-newbie-on-a-mission-ie
Hmm.. The problem is I'm scrolling through a whole page of info to find the one thing that I want.
Also - can't see FAQ on the home page or my list page. Everything needs to be grouped on one page for ease of access. It's too labyrinthine at the moment.

This is possibly my most over-used word at the moment.

OK. Blimey it's a lot to learn!

artbizness commented on the word spargepipe
It's basically the pipe that runs across the top of a slab urinal in a men's toilet. It's the one that flushes the water through.

Not to be confused with a single urinal, which has no spargepipe:

Is there any way to "follow" poeple or words that you've taken an interest in other than RSS?
September 18, 2008

Right... So basically there'll already be a link to Wikipedia.
It's going to take me a while to get used to this...
