  • As Ezra Pound taught us:

    Winter is icumen in,

    Lhude sing Goddamm,

    Raineth drop and staineth slop,

    And how the wind doth ramm!

    Sing: Goddamm.

  • Well, heck. ¨ is good enough for me.

    But wait -- what if you list ¨?

    October 7, 2008

  • The United States of America. I think.

  • It is sad, but you've got to love the spirit:

    'We come out at the weekend to forget our children and our problems, and this time we will drink extra hard to make sure we forget the economic crisis too,' says Gunnghilder, raising a glass. 'Tomorrow the sore head.'

    And I positively thrill to the fact that Iceland still seems to use patronyms -- and matronyms for women, no?

    Wow, and I just learned that Iceland

  • Including, the Mock Turtle tells us, ambition, distraction, uglification and derision.

  • This word seems to have just wandered in uninvited.

  • Also, in French, the polite response to thanks.

  • A (typically nosy) person.

  • This word is just wrong. I do not love it. I cannot love it. I cannot even pretend to be fond of it. There must be a more elegantly written term for this.

    October 1, 2008

  • Like assassinate, only less pleasant.

    October 1, 2008

  • Brings a whole new, unpleasant meaning to the phrase, "for the nonce".

    October 1, 2008

  • "Now for then." I understand it's used in legal filings to request retroactive permission to do something already done.

    October 1, 2008

  • Thanks -- I was hoping someone smart would fill in my assumption! Much appreciated.

  • "Now there came to the ears of Earl Hakon the fame of a man overseas westward who called himself Oli, & whom men held for a King; and he misdoubted from the talk of certain folk that this man must be of the lineage of the Norwegian Kings."

    -- Sturluson, Snorri: The Sagas of Olaf Tryggvason and of Harald the Tyrant

    (Note: I think the link leads to the same translation I'm quoting from, but I could be wrong.)

    September 30, 2008

  • Also an archaic past form of go or get, apparently:

    "So Thorir gat him west to Dublin, and enquiring there for tidings of Oli learned that he was with his brother-in-law King Olaf Kvaran. Thereafter Thorir brought it to pass that he gat speech of Oli, and when they had talked often and long (for Thorir was a very smooth-tongued man) fell Oli to asking about the Upland kings: which of them were still alive and what dominions pertained to them."

  • Excellent! Just when I thought John was being a little too efficient about snuffing these curious beasties.

    September 26, 2008

  • Hmph. I'm sticking to the safe side. Vinegar and brewing don't go well together.

    September 23, 2008

  • None of your guile here, bilby! Keep that stuff out of the wortery.

    But there's a home for it over at A great ferment if you like.

  • What, no will it play in peoria?

    September 20, 2008

  • Relating to over-the-counter anti-bloating medications?

    September 20, 2008

  • Oh, they did, yarb; they did. I don't think I've ever handled a frog without it peeing on me. Some sort of defense mechanism, or maybe it lightens the load for the leap to safety.

    September 20, 2008

  • I was aging to say that myself, come to thinker it.

    September 20, 2008

  • Is a loose canon like a drunk monk?

  • As immortalized by the immortal Tom Lehrer in his Masochism Tango:

    I ache for the touch of your lips, dear,

    But much more for the touch of your whips, dear.

  • Ah, was just going to start a list called On the Fence. Oh well. Great minds think alike, but greater minds usually think faster.

    September 15, 2008

  • To be followed, if I'm not mistaken, by a remise or a reprise, in turn met with a redouble. And I could swear the counter-riposte, and the counter-counter-riposte, have their place as well. But I'm often wrong.

  • Not fur?

    September 15, 2008

  • Only 7,999,999,989 to go, if you believe Mr. Clark.

    But I'm glad someone has this list.

    September 15, 2008

  • Sort have? Never heard this, except as a slurring of "sort of," which isn't all that offensive to me.

    September 15, 2008

  • And I've got Wort to the Wise, which has various drinks amongst other brewing terms. If you look under porter, you'll find some other beer lists.

    There should be one called What Ales You, however.

    September 15, 2008

  • You know, having gone out of my way to handle frogs in my misspent youth, there would be a delicious irony in getting the chance to pee on one. Turnabout, fair play and all that.

    September 15, 2008

  • If they felled Shakers, wouldn't they be Shakerciders?

    September 15, 2008

  • Hm. Would have been funnier (and more unquestionably accurate) if I had said, that means you've been left behind.

    September 15, 2008

  • Now I need a drink, alcoholic of course, after all night studying obnoxious quantum mechanics.

    September 14, 2008

  • I think that means you'll be Left Behind.

    September 14, 2008

  • Baku Enya buy.

    September 14, 2008

  • A beaver's most certainly a jolly good feller; nobody can deny.

    But if I'm not mistaken, the sects that cannot have babies include the Shakers.

    September 14, 2008

  • Thanks. Wasn't sure about that.

    September 14, 2008

  • Add it!

    September 14, 2008

  • Your comment is specieous, moll.

    September 14, 2008

  • Tea fermented with acetobacter and yeast, apparently called "tea mushroom" (чайный гриб) in Russian and mildly alcoholic (0.5% to 1.5%, according to Wikipedia's kombucha entry).

  • Not to be confused with a Brooklyn priest who dreams up a new precept of church law.

    September 10, 2008

  • Figured prominently in that well-known campaign attack ditty from the presidential election of 1884:

    Ma, ma,

    where's my pa?

    Off to the White House,

    ha, ha, ha!

    Despite allegations that he fathered an illegitimate child, Grover Cleveland won the election.

    September 10, 2008

  • Isn't this a euphemism for a belch? Or am I making that up?

    September 10, 2008

  • Apparently nobody on Wordie is unsatiable.

    September 10, 2008

    September 10, 2008

  • Do this or this qualify?

    September 10, 2008

  • WierdNet brings new meaning to "For he's a jolly good feller".

    September 10, 2008

  • Is that what it's called?

    September 10, 2008

  • Er. Is the word hork still in fashion around here?

    September 10, 2008

  • Wow, I've been away a bit. Can't believe I missed this one.

    Anyway, reesetee, you have a point about pica. About 12 of them, actually.

    September 10, 2008

  • I first encountered portmanteau word in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, from the mouth of Humpty Dumpty (of course):

    "‘slithy’ means ‘lithe and slimy’... You see it's like a portmanteau—there are two meanings packed up into one word"

    And Wikipedia says the right Rev. coined it, so it must be true.

    Now there's glory for you.

    September 10, 2008

  • ...rocket fuller pie...

    September 10, 2008

  • Hmph. I'm not taking it off. Some of us will always remember the good ol' days...

  • Church sign seen in Tallahassee, Florida, in 2008. (There was a question-mark at the end of the original.)

    September 7, 2008

  • Church sign seen in the Catskills in upstate New York a few years ago.

    September 7, 2008

  • Is Singulair pleural?

    September 7, 2008

  • According to Robert Gayre, in Brewing Mead: Wassail! In Mazers of Mead (with Charlie Papazian) probably derived from an old English toast along the lines of "wachs heil," or to your health; the response was, he says, "drinc heil". From thence to the drink itself.

    September 7, 2008

  • Oroboros, I believe that if John were to unlock the mysteries of Wordie's database, it would be shown that in fact you were the first to list every word in it, or that will ever be in it. On average, it's certainly the case.

    September 7, 2008

  • A reference to Joyce's Very Long Word Indeed, as coined (I think) by ptero.

    September 7, 2008

  • Kewl. Thanks VO!

    September 7, 2008

  • Yes, I think "German portmanteau word" is redundant.

    Reminds me of the German philosopher who toiled for decades on his three-volume masterwork. But it was hopeless, because he died just after completing volume two -- and all the verbs were in the last volume.

    July 18, 2008

  • Isn't a marmite a sort of alpine rodent in North America?

    July 18, 2008

  • Just how menopausal is peri-menopausal, then?

    July 12, 2008

  • You know what they say about guys with big desks, Pro.

    July 12, 2008

  • Verb, to hit, when you just can't bring yourself to wallop someone.

    July 10, 2008

  • Wow. An intercultural flame-war! You Commonwealth types are so cute in your petty regional jealousies.

    But sionnach, you didn't bracket antipodean wrath. I think that costs you a few points.

    July 10, 2008

  • Brilliant, bilby! There could be a whole industry in outsourcing the re-rolling process.

    July 10, 2008

  • "Be prepared."

    July 10, 2008

  • Specific excrement it is. Couldn't get much more specific without naming it. (Or maybe rating it? But I can't bring myself to post the link; Google it if you must.)

    July 10, 2008

  • One of the men in the fiery furnace, no?

    July 10, 2008

  • I'll respectfully agree in part, and disagree in part, with the esteemed sionnach. I think there's virtue in unordered lists like these. After all, words can belong to many lists. We can browse here contentedly and add words that fit our fancy to lists of our choosing.

    I bet there's even one of those panvocalic thingies on this list, somewhere.

    July 10, 2008

  • Urgh.

    July 8, 2008

  • Odd. None of this came through in Mary Poppins.

    July 8, 2008

  • Or a kind of pacific salmon, also called a humpy, or humpies in Southeast Alaska.

    July 8, 2008

  • Also a nickname for the pink salmon, typically plural as humpies. They aren't all that cute, though.

    July 8, 2008

  • Tho do I.

    Sorry. Couldn't resist. But any idea how its pronunciation differs from the þ? (I always thought the þ was the thorn, but maybe I'm wrong.)

    July 8, 2008

  • However else does one describe what a butler does?

    July 8, 2008

  • What, those as would say a foo-- never mind.

    But next time I need up-cheering, I think I'll remember this word.

    to the possident.

    July 8, 2008

  • Would a "significant majority" then be, say, 66% to 75%? And where does "substantial" fit in?

    Of course, one could always give the number.

  • Yeast flocculates, which I suppose means at some point it's flocculent.

    July 7, 2008

  • Typically the product of driving long distances in the summer in the U.S. South without air-conditioning. To be avoided.

    July 7, 2008

  • Wonderful etymological research, sionnach. Presumably "taking a bullet for the team" is derived from the word?

    July 7, 2008

  • frog, where are you getting the wonderful Icelandic words? Or do you know the language?

    July 6, 2008

  • Mollusque, it's a real unicorn, or else it would be called the false unicorn whale.

    Pro, so does this drink, oddly enough.

  • Don't cry, dontcry.

    (Thanks, dc: I've wanted to say that for a long time now.)

    July 6, 2008

  • I guess if it's a plant, by definition it isn't a real unicorn.

    July 6, 2008

  • Such a versatile word, too!

    July 6, 2008

  • The 1959 film Donald in Mathmagic Land is brilliant, and a lot of fun.

    Look like bits of it may be on YouTube.

    July 6, 2008

  • See also Donald in Mathmagicland.

    July 6, 2008

  • Ohhh. This one sounds like blaming the victim.

    July 6, 2008

  • Wow. Thanks, moll. That's teh alsome. Maybe John isn't such a slack bastard after all.

    July 5, 2008

  • This word deserves some kind of award.

    July 5, 2008

  • Much better. Thanks.

    July 5, 2008

    July 5, 2008

  • Please excuse?

    July 5, 2008

  • WeirdNet omits: that is thrown in competitive sport at the Florida-Alabama line. From this site:

    "WHAT IS A MULLET TOSS?

    A Mullet Toss consists of individuals on the beach throwing a mullet,

    from a 10-foot circle in Alabama across the state line into Florida.

    Not to mention a great excuse to throw a weekend long party,

    with lots of fun activities, great music and food!"

    July 5, 2008

  • Did the error message change? The one I just got from the / tag didn't mention our favorite slack bastard:

    "Sorry, but I'm a 404 Error, and, as is my nature, I can't find what you're looking for. Try the search box in the upper right, or maybe dig around on the home page."

    July 5, 2008

  • Show some respect, bilby. You should say John is a slack bastard.

    July 5, 2008

  • But how do I grow a kangeroo? A 9-inch spade doesn't seem like it would be very good for digging.

    July 5, 2008

  • That could be tough. But we know word is or∂, so maybe Wordie is Or∂ie?

  • How to greet people in Icelandic, according to Flickr. (Really -- I just logged in to Flickr for the first time in weeks, and it greeted me in Icelandic).

    July 5, 2008

  • Neat list, adrury.

    But I'd recommend using comments for translations, citations or usages, rather than tags. Tags work best when multiple words on different lists share something in common (eg, "aeiou" for words with those vowels in that order, or "icelandic" for words in that language).

    July 5, 2008

  • Whichbe, you rock.

    Skipvia: Er, well, no, not everything. Just the really interesting bits.

    July 5, 2008

  • Maybe someone who actually knows Icelandic can add some more interesting words.

    July 5, 2008

  • Butter. From Wikipedia:

    "Smjörið er brætt og hveitið smátt og smátt hrært út í það, þangað til það er gengið upp í smjörið. Síðan er mjólkinni smáhellt út í, og hrært stöðugt í, til þess ekki fari í kekki. Þegar mjólkin er gengin upp og grauturinn orðinn vel jafn og saltið komið í, skal taka hann ofan. Með honum er borin saftblanda eða mjólk, einnig steyttur sykur og kanel."

    Which translates approximately as:

    "The butter is melted and the flour stirred into it slowly but surely, until it has blended with the butter. Then the milk is slowly poured in, and stirred constantly, so it doesn’t get lumpy. When the milk has blended well and the porridge has become steady and salt has been added, it should be taken off. It is served with a fruit juice mixture or milk, even ground sugar and cinnamon."

  • Wikipedia: "a type of blood pudding, which is prepared like lifrarpylsa without the liver and adding blood".

    July 4, 2008

  • Well look, it's been a good year, you slaughtered a bunch of rams for the end-of-summer party (probably mid-July in Iceland), you can't eat another bite, your mother-in-law is in the corner muttering something about never wasting any of a good ram in her day, and you don't have a lot of space in the root cellar any more. So you gather up the testicles, put 'em in the wine press, boil them to keep 'em from going all sviðasulta on you, and you stash 'em in the spare barrel of lactic acid down in the cellar, only it wasn't as empty as you thought. Then at the winter solstice your cousins from Borgafjö∂ur show up unannounced and you just don't have enough súrsaðir hrútspungar to go around. Good thing you put away those ram testicles. When the cousins ask what the lovely luncheon meat is, you've just taken a big bite of Blóðmör and choke out something that sounds like súrsaðir hrútspungar. You don't give them the recipe until they've had a few more shots of Brennivin. And over in Borgafjö∂ur, it catches on.

  • Icelandic; pressed and fermented shark. You have to love the idea of food prepared by sticking it in a hole in the ground.

    Wikipedia:

    Hákarl is prepared by gutting and beheading a Greenland or basking shark and placing it in a shallow hole dug in gravelly-sand, with the now-cleaned cavity resting on a slight hill. The shark is then covered with sand and gravel, and stones are then placed on top of the sand in order to press the shark. The fluids from the shark are in this way pressed out of the body. The shark ferments for 6-12 weeks depending on the season in this fashion.

  • Fermented herring, often sold in cans, "which when opened release a strong smell. Because of the smell, the dish is often eaten outdoors. However, opening the can under water somewhat lessens the smell, as well as prevents the person opening it from being soaked in brine, as the fermentation often builds up a considerable pressure inside the can." So says Wikipedia.

  • Oog. I missed this one. Is it possible for John to insert a warning page before landing here? Copremesis might qualify as well.

    July 3, 2008

  • There's an hairy guy named Herb just down the street. He's an hoot.

    July 3, 2008

  • Cajun town in Lousiana, between Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

  • Typically a crawfish dish in Louisiana. Delicious!

    July 3, 2008

  • Ooh -- muskeg.

    July 3, 2008

  • Roughly a synonym for the world, or some equally vast and inexplicable place. Uses include "what in tarnation do you think you're up to" and "where in tarnation is my wallet?"

    July 3, 2008

  • And with an attitude.

    July 3, 2008

  • German word for which there is ostensibly no (good) English equivalent. Something like pleasant, but more gemütlich.

    July 3, 2008

  • Something to add to my list*. And a good excuse to see the interior, anyway.

    *No, not a Wordie list.

    July 3, 2008

  • No, you got it in one, Miss. Bootsie is the boozer pony, usually found grasping an empty bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 and muttering to herself. Don't tell the kids.

    July 3, 2008

  • Arrr. Was just thinking I'd whip up a list like this. Foo.

    July 3, 2008

  • You can see the similarity on both counts: Small, immobile unless tossed, easily crushed, used to store small brined fish or sugary beverages.

    July 3, 2008

  • Not so little any more, I'm afraid. Too much cheese.

    July 3, 2008

  • Largely supplanted in the developed world by iPodomancy, or divination by close examination of mp3 playlists.

    July 3, 2008

  • Dunno if this is too Southeast for your list, but there's also eulachon, aka hooligan or candlefish. And devil's club and skunk cabbage, but I don't know if those are purely Alaskan.

    July 3, 2008

  • When's it held? I am so there, if only for the T-shirt. Like the Rikers Island 5k Run (complete with a "pee-wee run.")

    July 3, 2008

  • Uff da, gangerh.

    July 3, 2008

  • You know, there's a whole list of asparagus. Just in case you're interested.

    But is canned asparagus really viler than, say, canned bread? Clamato? Bud Light + Clamato? Pickled pig lips?

    I mean, really, skip. Most vile substance on the planet deserves some careful consideration, and maybe a contest of some sort.

    July 3, 2008

  • You'll wonder what a bilby is

    when you ponder all his Wordie fizz.

    July 2, 2008

  • I think I want to learn Sassarese. It reads like it sounds cool. And just saying you know Sassarese sounds infinitely sassier than plain old sassiness.

    July 2, 2008

  • You can't fool me. If that were really bilby writing, the rhyme would scan. Besides, everyone knows a billy is a club run by Bob, for old goats doing the can-can.

    July 2, 2008

  • Cess!

    July 2, 2008

  • Isn't a bilby what you cook your stew in alongside the bilabong after going on a walkabout in the outback to the strains of Waltzing Mathilda?

    July 2, 2008

  • Then there are all the ersatz cat words: catamount, cataplexy, catastrophe. Perhaps another list entirely.

    July 2, 2008

  • As long as they don't serve toe-jam, it sounds like great fun.

    July 1, 2008

  • Great word! Rolls off the tongue. Too bad the early computer-makers stopped at Eniac and Illiac.

    July 1, 2008

  • Shouldn't that be self-government day or independence day? I mean, it was already a territory, no?

    July 1, 2008

  • Yay! My rude jabbing and stabbing has prodded a response from Sassmews. Mission accomplished! Hopefully s/he will now realize we're mostly harmless, if sometimes rude and too boisterous, and join in the fun.

    Seriously Sass, my apologies if I poked too hard. I just tend to assume that the prolific word-listers and the prolific commenters are the same. I was pleasantly surprised to see otherwise, and wanted to draw you into the fold.

    Above all, please don't be scared off, and do what you want with Wordie. It's like that. (And it likes that, too.)

    July 1, 2008

  • Shweet! Thanks all!

    July 1, 2008

  • reesetee, this isn't Dialectie, you know.

    June 30, 2008

  • Then again, plenty of people with mousy brown hair that's vaguely chestnut in direct light describe themselves as strawberry blonde. Seems like blonde inflation to me.

    Do post a link, billy.

    June 30, 2008

  • Remember the Wordie rules proposal/list? Such a noble endeavor, but doomed from the start.

    June 30, 2008

  • Language?

    June 30, 2008

  • What, you mean Alaskans don't really refer to the Lower 48 as "Outside," like Alaska magazine does?

    I did hear "down south" a lot when I was there, usually meaning Seattle.

    June 30, 2008

  • Bilby, I can see how that would be wearing.

    June 30, 2008

  • Aha -- thanks. Like Boticelli, only with improper nouns instead of names.

    June 30, 2008

  • Lovely. Thanks!

    June 30, 2008

  • Fascinating. But is the "G." in your etymologies for German or Germanic, or something else?

    If the former, I'm surprised there's so much German influence in Slovene slang.

    June 30, 2008

  • More shenanigans!

    But you know, she's been active in the last day or so. I wonder if she's notices.

    June 30, 2008

  • How do you play this game?

    June 30, 2008

  • I did, yes. But I trust it was artistic license on the folk that wrote this song. If not, I would like to vigorously disclaim all responsibility. I blame Capsicum frutescens entirely.

    And good to know what I said. I love the phrase. I may have to use it sometime. I assume it's pronounced more or less like Italian? And while I'm at it, where is your region?

    June 30, 2008

  • Ain't it a hoot that we're related?

    June 30, 2008

  • Fora di gabbu!!!

    OK, I have no idea what that means, but it's on the video comments and sounded cool.

    June 29, 2008

  • Has anyone else noticed that there are some people on Wordie who just, you know, list words? Instead of plastering the site with inane comments.

    Three of the wordiest Wordies at the moment seem to have said nary a peep (or just one peep among them, really): myriasofo, mouserie and Sassmews.

    Weird. Neat words though.

    June 29, 2008

  • What did Ray ever do to you?

    June 29, 2008

  • WierdNet is mischievous that way.

    June 29, 2008

  • sheesh.

    June 29, 2008

  • My goodness. I never even knew a song about eggplants existed, much less a rowdy one.

    I may have to reevaluate Solanum melongena.

    June 29, 2008

  • Interesting, if short, discussion of some of these on this copy-editor's forum

    June 29, 2008

  • Tell me how you really feel, WeirdNet.

    June 29, 2008

  • Brush is bushes, and bushes are brush.

  • The best kind to encounter in the jungle, though prone to burn bright.

    June 29, 2008

  • It's technical, but apparently something archers get bent out of shape about.

    June 29, 2008

  • A good bet, depending on the exchange rate.

    June 29, 2008

  • Good thought, but you did it for me. It's there for posterity now!

    June 29, 2008

  • To mail oneself.

    June 29, 2008

  • True. But probably not for long.

    June 29, 2008

  • I think it's just you and me, Pro.

    June 29, 2008

  • Inspired by Mercy's lovely, but more inclusive, list. I'm really looking for exclamations or whatever they're called.

  • Betcha dollars to aubergines that there's a site out there for devotees of muffin-tops.

  • God can do anything.

    Ergo, She can be stir-fried.

    June 29, 2008

  • I think this conversation has a pun trifecta in it. Or more than one.

    June 29, 2008

  • I don't know about you, but I don't take enough furcations most years.

    June 29, 2008

  • Yes, well, clearly he's one of these types who want the world to use the nice, simple one- or two-syllable words he's comfortable with -- in other words, the meaner* sort of copy editor.

    (Note I don't refer, naturally, to the words with which he's comfortable, because that presumably qualifies as a pompous-ass sentence structure, also known as good grammar).

    Add: I can't but notice that he lurves the word epigones.

    * Not cruel. I'm using this in its pompous-ass sense. Look it up, you fly-bitten varlet.

    June 29, 2008

  • And for crying out loud, once you have AC, plug a fan into it!

    June 28, 2008

  • I don't wear fedoras. But really, that's about it.

    June 28, 2008

  • I do not believe that a frog is a cat.

    June 28, 2008

  • God or eggplants, kewpid?

    June 28, 2008

  • Fancy that.

    June 28, 2008

  • OK, I think you beat me again, Pro. I'm going to sleep. (Not that it should be a competition!)

    June 28, 2008

  • Considering that they killed people, I'd suspect unjust insomniacs.

    June 28, 2008

  • My Latin is rusty. Is that "Out of eggplants, God"? Or just "God jumped out of an eggplant"?

    June 28, 2008

  • Bwahahahahah!

    June 28, 2008

  • Thanks Pro!

    June 28, 2008

  • Motto of the inconspicuous.

    June 28, 2008

  • Not to be confused with incognito ergo sum.

    June 28, 2008

  • Also an annoying tendency to bandy about ones own deductions.

    June 28, 2008

  • I'm tempted... Oh, so tempted.

    June 28, 2008

  • Wikipedia, citing a couple of sources, says its origin are different than jury-rigged, which it says the OED traces to 1788.

    The alt.usage.english FAQ has an interesting, if ultimately ambiguous, discussion of the two phrases.

    June 28, 2008

  • Rule by seven cool cats.

    June 28, 2008

  • Yes, bilby, there is a Smackover, Ark. It's in the greater El Dorado non-metropolitan area (and that's pronounced "el dor-ay-do," for your information).

    The story goes that the French called it sumac couvert -- or whatever the French for "covered in sumac" or "under cover of sumac" might be. Presumably the Yanks showed up and did their best to drive the locals buggy.

    June 28, 2008

  • Jenny Jump State Forest!

    June 28, 2008

  • "Mountains" in New Jersey.

    They're very liberal with the word in those parts, I've noticed.

    June 28, 2008

  • I am so far behind on comments, I will never catch up, even with Prolagian insomnia.

    This is a very sad day.

    (Perhaps someone could summarize?)

    June 28, 2008

  • Very corny, pops.

    June 28, 2008

  • A friend of mine has kittens. They're very cute and cuddly. Not angry or disapproving in the least.

    June 28, 2008

  • Soon to be an anti-anti-anxiety drug from Merpfvartyeth.

    June 28, 2008

  • How vexing.

    June 28, 2008

  • Yes. But this isn't it. Sorry.

    June 28, 2008

  • See waldo's list.

    June 27, 2008

  • Maybe this word and overthetop could get together.

    June 27, 2008

  • Helpneedspacesbad

    June 27, 2008

  • Nonstandard tags might be more useful. Or just befuddling ones.

    Or you could have a list of words that make up the pages, and a link in the word's comments to the tag page. But that's work. And besides, the link is likely to get lost in Wordie nostrums.

    June 27, 2008

  • Very nice. I believe most of these are examples of kenning.

    June 27, 2008

  • Held in regard by many Sons of the Confederacy.

    June 27, 2008

  • Sionnach, I think you mispronounced that.

    June 27, 2008

  • Ok. I had had it with had had, but my cad dad, Haddad, had had "had had" bad, lad.

    June 27, 2008

  • You laugh. But it's well established that Aries had two pugs and a Pomeranian.

    June 27, 2008

  • Boob

    June 27, 2008

  • Phooey. Enough of this fol-de-rol; just a bunch of balderdash to my reckoning. I'm going to skedaddle.

    Foo.

    June 26, 2008

  • No way!

    June 26, 2008

  • Hey, I think that's heroic verse, that is, yarb.

    June 26, 2008

  • What a salient citation.

    June 26, 2008

  • The British pronunciation always makes me chuckle. Horribly provincial of me, I know.

    June 25, 2008

  • I'll second Pro (as long as no duels are involved).

    Much neater than the solution I had been mulling, which was listing comments by time, so I could remember that I'd been gone a couple days and find my place.

    June 25, 2008

  • The photo of animal style fries reminds me of some traumatic moments in elementary school. It's like poutine's evil twin.

    June 25, 2008

  • That's a biggish desk.

    June 25, 2008

  • Wait, our kind host on this page says: "I'm talking about adding letters that aren't even in the word or skipping ones that aren't silent (syncope and apocope). I mean, c'mon."

    But if you skip saying letters that aren't silent -- is this a koan?

    June 25, 2008

  • dontcry, what better place for sleep nostrums than this page? Do share!

    Though I worry for Wordie if we manage to cure insomnia.

    June 25, 2008

  • As long as your scratch yourself on the behinder, at least not in public.

    June 25, 2008

  • This word is crying out for a ligature. Or three.

    June 25, 2008

  • Unless you happen to be in the company of a tow rag. All is clear. Thanks dontcry!

    June 24, 2008

  • Oh, pshaw. You're just a stick-in-the-mud party-pooper.

    June 24, 2008

  • Too true, kewpid. I accidentally bought some all-sweet kumquats the other month, and they weren't worth eating. (I didn't read the label.) But I suspect all-sour kumquats would lack something too.

    June 24, 2008

  • "... a pickle.

    Just want to ride on my motorsickle..."

    (See pickle for link to the full lyrics, more or less.)

    June 24, 2008

  • Is this, or a toe-rag, related to a do-rag? (Or is it dew-rag?)

    June 24, 2008

  • But not little man in boat, or the conversation goes elsewhere fast.

    June 24, 2008

  • Is it one? For what, I wonder.

    June 24, 2008

  • Ooh, ooh! Gherkin!

    I love gherkins: the word, the thing. I'm even bemused by the building in London...

    *smiles happily*

    June 24, 2008

  • I believe frying your pease porridge would help minimize the mushiness, no?

    dontcry: I think your exhortation to jennaren qualifies as some kind of Wordie trifecta. Beautifully done.

    June 24, 2008

  • Thanks rolig! My new favorite backformation. And clearly porridge hasn't been getting its due of late, at least this side of the Atlantic. Why ever did it fall out of favor?

    June 23, 2008

  • I'm all for live and let live. Don't squash bugs, or especially spiders, etc. But roaches in the house, poison ivy and fire ants in the yard -- these deserve no mercy.

    June 23, 2008

  • I think Wordie may have reached some sort of critical mass on Friday, June 20, 2008. Now I really can't keep up with the comments!

    June 21, 2008

  • Quite a common affliction in my line of work just now, not entirely without reason.

    June 21, 2008

  • Good grief. And here I thought it was a senior exterminator at The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company. Shows what I know.

    June 21, 2008

  • Is whirled pease any different than whirled peas?

    (And of what is pea a back-formation?)

    June 21, 2008

  • You know, I'd think a scintilla is smaller than a soupçon, just from the phrase"not a scintilla of evidence.

    June 21, 2008

  • It's a Christmasy way to ask politely.

    (No L.)

    June 21, 2008

  • He who?

    June 21, 2008

  • Ah, but now there's another he in there. I think itpourd is called for.

    June 21, 2008

  • Plus, there's the 2006es all over the place. Kind of hard to miss those.

    June 21, 2008

  • A farmer was perplexed because birds kept building a nest in his horse's mane. The vet told him to sprinkle yeast in the horse's mane every morning for three days. It worked.

    Surprised, the farmer asked the vet why. He answered that even a schoolchild should have been able to figure it out. "Everyone knows yeast is yeast, and nest is nest, and never the mane shall tweet."

    June 21, 2008

  • In stir it is, sir.

    June 21, 2008

  • More evidence that aliens are responsible for all world cultures.

    June 21, 2008

  • I heard these attributed to the Rev. Spooner himself:

    "The Lord is a shoving leopard to his flock."

    and something about the pleasures of riding a well-boiled icicle.

    June 21, 2008

  • Oh, this belongs on someone's naughty list.

    June 21, 2008

  • v., to divorce.

    June 21, 2008

  • Relative to what? I mean, a big desk for a little guy might not be so big for a big guy.

    June 21, 2008

  • Coulda sworn PG Wodehouse had an exchange involving the phrase "wot's wot, what?"

    June 21, 2008

  • I don't believe that the calendar in 2017 will be the same as 2006. No way.

    June 21, 2008

  • But wait -- being in the stir is to be in prison, no?

    June 21, 2008

  • It did, did it?

    June 21, 2008

  • Not to snipe or be snippy, but snappywhippers whip snaps; whippersnappers snap whips. But which whips do whippersnappers snap?

    June 21, 2008

  • That does it. I'm going to get a photo of Uranus and post it on my desk. Just so people ask me what it is.

    I'm not above doing it, you know.

    June 21, 2008

  • bilby, if no one's having Titantric sex, and I can have Titantric sex, then I suppose we pretty much know what it involves.

    I've yet to encounter an ordinary day on Wordie.

    June 21, 2008

  • I think I'm late to the party. I came for the Titantric typos, but I must have misread something.

    June 21, 2008

  • And I thought "Three Happiness" was vaguely creepy.

    I believe a WSJ or NYT article earlier this year included some other glorious mistranslations, whether culinary or otherwise. Surfing Wordie on my phone though, so can't look it up just now.

    June 21, 2008

  • I suspect it's a pictogram of the numerals 7, 4, 5, and 7. But I could be wrong.

    June 21, 2008

  • Language?

    June 20, 2008

  • Is this the result of strategery?

    June 20, 2008

  • And yet so much more sesquipedalian than simply saying brick.

    June 20, 2008

  • This belongs on someone's not-what-you-think list.

    June 20, 2008

  • Nice. Surprised it's not been listed before.

    June 20, 2008

  • Never before. I shudder to think of meeting an old whippersnapper.

    June 20, 2008

  • Great adds, all. Thanks! And skipvia, vicious works for me. I was going to stick to -vish endings, but then thought of vitiate and couldn't resist. As so often happens on Wordie.

    Odd how unusual the "vish" sound seems in English, and yet it appears in such a lovely variety of words...

    June 20, 2008

  • Awesome listh.

    June 20, 2008

  • Oh, good. Because aerosol cans are so much more convenient to carry in one's wallet.

    June 20, 2008

  • You got it, Pro. I was going to say "x as in expresso", but I knew I'd never forgive myself for actually typing ...

    Sigh.

    June 20, 2008

  • Shanshu is actually a pretty nice name, don't you think?

    June 20, 2008

  • So where does the -vish ending come from, anyway?

    June 20, 2008

  • Good thinking, Pro. Some bits of the Bible might be a little more accessible that way.

    June 20, 2008

  • There is no delete in Wordie. See pimiento load.

    June 20, 2008

  • Is that what you call them? Over here we just call them "aluminum cans," and think they're kind of ordinary.

    June 20, 2008

  • Er. Anyone know the Swedish for politically incorrect? Oh, wait -- Google knows: politiskt inkorrekt

    June 20, 2008

  • burntsox, quixotic is only horrid if you say it the way Americans seem to, pronouncing the x as in espresso.

    A nice faux-Spanish pronunciation, with the x like an English h, is positively poetic.

    June 20, 2008

  • Reesetee, why can't you say you're an alpaca farmer whenever you want? You might get some funny looks from the alpacas, I suppose.

    (Wood has lice?)

    June 20, 2008

  • I think the meaning widdershins uses refers to the idea that the Byzantine court, its politics, and/or the empire's bureaucracy were so, well, byzantine.

    June 20, 2008

  • I read Name of the Rose first, and loved it. I liked Foucault's Pendulum at least as much, maybe more. Baudolino was excellent. I never could get into Island of the Day Before.

    But The Mysterious flame of Queen Loana was curious: I was captivated by it as I read it, and even stayed up too late a couple nights. But it was slow going, and for some reason, after I had to set it aside very briefly, I didn't return to it. Is there a word for that? Something that's fully engrossing until one is distracted from it, at which point one doesn't return to it?

    (I also heartily recommend a book of Eco's essays called How to Travel With a Salmon. Several are truly hilarious.

    June 20, 2008

  • Having used a Wii.

    June 19, 2008

  • I'm not ashamed to admit it: I have peed. I also have Wii'd.

    June 19, 2008

  • I'm acutely aware of my own audacity.

    June 19, 2008

  • A damn shame only one Wordie lists fidgets. It's a fine, fine word and deserves better.

    June 19, 2008

  • Wouldn't it be one of Mr. Eno's lovers?

    June 19, 2008

  • Down to earth, taste of the land... In the U.S. I've mostly heard this called "kind of gritty".

    June 19, 2008

  • Not to be confused with adobe, a principle ingredient if which is dung.

    But should we trust a recipe from someone named Salmonella? (No offense, Salmy.)
