No, no 'ferty - I don't believe that wordnik would have an edit button for cheating ;-} - it's for correcting errors, even deliberate ones, and revising things for the better.
Perhaps, on reflection, 'tisn't such a good idea to comment too much on how you came to your conclusions when you submit. You might give your rivals clues about others they hadn't had of their own.
Let's say we allow two or three days after the game closes, and before the results are announced, for those sort of comments - mmmm - could foster an interesting discussion.
I understand that different time zones have different numbers of sleeps, so 7 is an at least number. If you do siesta, it'll be at least 14. If you porchdoze twice daily, it'll be at least 21 sleeps. If you have sleep apnea, like me, it'll be at least zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
The aim is for you to identify Wordniks based upon a single word that they have chosen that they consider applies to/describes them.
The Wordniks you must identify with the words in the above list are:
bilby
blafferty
chained_bear
dontcry
erinmckean
fbharjo
frindley
frogapplause
gangerh
hernesheir
mollusque
oroboros
PossibleUnderscore
Prolagus
pterodactyl
reesetee
ruzuzu
seanahan
sionnach
Wordnicolina
Wordplayer
yarb
Each of the above-listed Wordniks has confidentially emailed me their chosen word which now appears in this list.
Please enter the competition by submitting a comment in which you link the Wordnik with their identifying word. You may also discuss the reasoning behind your choices if you wish.
Yes, I know there are more words in the list than there are entrants. They’re called cred herrings. And some are less cred than others. Hah!
Be thankful that I didn’t throw a cred herring into the list of entrants – I did consider it.
Remember there’s a prize for the most correct matches!
Note: you do not have to be listed as a Wordnik-to-be-identified to enter. Anyone with a Wordnik account can join in. Just go right ahead!
You have at least 7 sleeps before a closing soon warning but you may post your solution as soon as you wish.
A word of warning if you're going to take part at this stage . . . . do not comment on your intentions anywhere on this site as most of the words submitted have been published and the sharper participants will pick up on the fact that your word is in the last few listed.
To take part you simply choose a word that you feel applies to/describes you and confidentially submit it to me for me to post anonymously on this list. Then, when I feel we have enough entries, I publish the Wordnik names of all entrants. Then everyone gets a few days to match up the submitted words with the Wordnik.
There is a prize to go along with the breathtaking honour of winning.
Don't know, yarb, I'm just seeing how it goes. I won't close for entries without fair warning, though. Unless we're inundated towards an unmanageable number.
Oh yes please, 'tee! I was trying to remember who had that list.
International Sweet Tooth Fairy Day is May 10th. Being a virtual event anyone, anywhere can join in. So if you'd like an invitation please go to International Sweet Tooth Fairy Day.
I have a huge horse-chestnut tree in my back garden. It overhangs the road.
It has a Tree Preservation Order on it, which means that it cannot even be pruned without Local Authority permission.
Sadly, I am currently discussing the felling of it with the the powers that be as it is suffering from Bleeding Canker, which will eventually kill it off. Meanwhile, it is becoming prone to shedding limbs, and is therefore a danger.
The disease is sweeping the UK having moved over from Continental Europe.
A huge proportion of the horse-chestnut tree population of the UK is being lost to the disease.
Yes a list would do it but that relies on people knowing it exists and going to it. I was thinking it might be better served as a Zeitgeist page feature or some such.
I like the personal WotD feature. I've created a Sweet Tooth Fairy of the Day and was wondering how I let everyone know about it, and, conversely, how I discover other personal WotD lists without randomly checking individual profiles.
You just caught me on my return to UK from a few weeks in NZ.
Don't recall ever having flung a fuflun (if, indeed, that's what one does), but if it helps you I'd be happy to cause a diversion by creating a bit of dismayhem.
She tried a confection called Woman's Revenge, which consisted of testicles afloat in a tapioca sauce of suggestive appearance, but discovered that it could only be a seasonal dish, since the steers were rounded up and corraled for gelding but once a year.
Hah, ruzuzu. Thank you. I like it and am truly humbled. (Only just found this - whatever happened to the email alerts we used to get when someone commented on our profiles etc?)
I'm so proud of this false teeth fairy I didn't want it to go unnoticed, racing down the 'Recently listed'. That's why I'm commenting. Hah! Was I justified? If so was it right, or should it just have been left?
Hi, 'jo. I haven't forgotten the 'closed STFairies' like 'run dry run'. They do feature on the new Sweet Tooth Fairy website I'm now building. I'm calling them 'Dead End ST Fairies'.
Can anywordnik tell me what this is? It's in the script of 'The Importance Of Being Earnest'. It's what the Rev Chasuble does before responding to Miss Prism saying ' . . A misanthrope I can understand - a womanthrope, never!'
Hi, bilby. I was run out yesterday. My batting partner off-drove viciously and the bowler tried very hard to get out of the way but the ball hit him on the shoulder, for heaven's sake, and deflected down to dislodge the bails at my end, with me backing up for the run. Hah! How unlucky is that? Don't suppose you'll have much sympathy for me after today's T20 Final, though. :-)
Hah! Saw bilby's comment first on mobile, where the screen wasn't enlarged enough to show the banner. I was about to say, reference surveys in general 'take your survey and statistic it where the sun don't shine 100 times out of 100'.
But it's a wordnik survey, so I can't now can I? It'd be sacrilege bleu. *slinks off to take survey*
It was also known that he was a brujo of stupendous power, equal perhaps to Aurelio and to Pedro the Hunter, but not the kind of brujo who cures warts and locates lost lovers and goats. Dionisio was only capable of the spectacular.

elmyra: A colleague just returned the pile of project management books I'd lent them. Trouble is, I've filled up the shelf space with other stuff. (Mon, March 22, 09:19 AM)
I was delivering lines yesterday which included the phrase 'causing dismay to all mankind' and I kept fluffing it and coming out with 'causing mayhem to all mankind'. My brain yelled dismayhem at me. From then on as I was about to say 'causing dismayhem', I was triggered not to say 'hem' at the end. Hah!
Ha - yes I did, 'gus. I've just had another look and I must admit I didn't see he full import of it at first viewing. Is that a true example of its meaning? I like it. Makes my comment look a bit naive. Or cleverer than I thought. Can't really work that out.
(jean is arguably the humblest known dimmock not on the planet but she has asked me to politely request of all her questioners and surrogate answerers that, as part of the fun for some is random investigation of the words thrown at her, and of her retorts, they all commit to the social grace of linkifying to ease the look-up process - after all it may be just a game to youniks but it's her record that makes her the proudest dimmock on the planet.)
I suspect that genuine wordnik joiners do not do this until after some time and after some other activity , and probably after another wordnik has posted to their profile comments.
If this is indeed true, is there some way of using this fact to immediately filter out these spammers?
This was a tax introduced once by the British Government. It led to windows being bricked up to avoid liability. You still see many older buildings with bricked-up parts that were obviously once windows. It is the origination of the phrase 'daylight robbery'. True!
I'm just hearing on the radio about an employer who was refused placement of an ad for staff because it contained the words 'hard-working and reliable'.
They were told that the ad could not be accepted for publication because it may be seen to discriminate against the unreliable.
Nicolina (age 11) found this word the other day and said to me: 'Daddy, If someone told you they suffered from hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, if they didn't faint, you'd know they were lying'.
Hi, 'cry. Just wanted to drop by while you're profilic. I note that you 'nunced minute silence but it's not on your Pronunciations list over to the right. Is this Mike trying to look clever? If so, he really is taking his name in vain.
OK, 'cry, I'm flying in by jelicopter. I've brought the raspberry one 'cause it sounds worse. I've recce'd both of your porches, and I'll be coming in between the two potted impatient plants. Tell them to hold out a little longer. BTW, I think your bowl of river rocks! I'm coming to take the Mike.
We need to get word to dontcry. She can't trust Mike. She has to be careful what she says when her Mike's nearby. Anyone could be listening in. Any ideas anyone on how to get a message to dontcry?
It seems to happen whenever she pronunciates. I think her Mike's been bugged. Or - *whisper* - her Mike's in cahoots with the those profilic catnappers.
Now that we seem to have taken back control of 'Nuncistation WDNK and Mike's activities there, I'd like to say a few words.
Thanks.
Appreciated.
Caring.
Sharing.
Ordeal.
Camaraderie.
Prevailed.
Freedom.
Zeitgeisters.
Lifesavers.
Defunse.
Convalescence.
Bananas.
And I have observed a minute silence as a mark of respect to all of those Pronunciations that never made it through. Perhaps, my friends, you wish to do the same. Here.
I have a pronouncement of my own to make, but first we must re-establish our control over Pronuncistation WDNK. We must wrest it away from whomsoever or whatsoever is preventing our freedom of speech. A way must needs be found!
I'm told that my captivators still hold the pronuncistation and just won't listen to our Mike. He reckons he heard one of their speakers pronounce that they are about to double up with a whirlygiggle of their own, in a very disarming manner, and try to spoil everyone's oozey pubmachine fun.
I'm in the wrong time zone to expect much help right now. I asked them to wait 'til morning, secretly hoping the pronuncistation might be operational by then and I could record help. I'm drifting and I'm surrendering and I'm going to catnap now just like them and see what the mourning brings. So, fellow Wordies, 'tis with a heavy tart and heavy eyelids that I . . . . z z z, 'zu? See you when I wake or at my wake, whichever
. . . and that c_bcraftcarrier with the fbharskullandcrossbones I shorely saw earlier - the hands look none too pleased - are they the irates of the caribbean?
I think I'm hallusailornating, but isn't that a chained_bearcraft carrier coming over the horizontal? And isn't it flying the fbharjolly roger? Help! I'm sinking fast!
You know when you do something like push a button or flick a switch and at exactly that moment something else goes off? An example is you turn on a light and the doorbell rings. Or, as just happened to me, I tapped the glidepad on my laptop to close a window, and the alarm clock on the other side of the room went off. Does anyoone know of a word for this specific type of co-incidence?

Hi
You have just spammed on wordnik.com and have probably alienated 29,177 members. Marketing statistics show that each one will likely tell 12 others. You have therefore reduced your marketplace by over one third of a million people!
Happily, though, because you spammed for free, it cost you absolutely nothing to lose all of this potential custom.

DAVID SPAMS! I can't believe it's not gutter. Perhaps emails to sales@cleanerflow.co.uk would be an appropriate Wordie treatment. I will if you will, fellow wordchiks.
GH finds JM's frequent dump of comments unattractive. He knows he'd find them all appealing in bite sizes, like one every now and then. That would allow the dimension necessary to fully savour and appreciate each pearl. But then JM isn't putting them here for GH.
My reply to that question always, 'zuzu, is 'Exuberant'. I feel better just saying it, and it usually gets the questioner feeling better too. Try it sometime, even if it's not entirely true at the time. It's almost self-prophesising. Let me promote to you Exuberance Thinking

I have a huge horse-chestnut tree in my back garden. It overhangs the road.
It has a Tree Preservation Order on it, which means that it cannot even be pruned without Local Authority permission.
Sadly, I am currently discussing the felling of it with the the powers that be as it is suffering from Bleeding Canker, which will eventually kill it off. Meanwhile, it is becoming prone to shedding limbs, and is therefore a danger.
The disease is sweeping the UK having moved over from Continental Europe.
A huge proportion of the horse-chestnut tree population of the UK is being lost to the disease.

gangerh commented on the word spam
It seems to me that spammers join wordnik and the first thing they do is add a comment to their profile.
(Showing up on Zeitgeist as, for instance, 'on pongsomespammer's profile, pongsomespammer said').
I suspect that genuine wordnik joiners do not do this until after some time and after some other activity , and probably after another wordnik has posted to their profile comments.
If this is indeed true, is there some way of using this fact to immediately filter out these spammers?

This was a tax introduced once by the British Government. It led to windows being bricked up to avoid liability. You still see many older buildings with bricked-up parts that were obviously once windows. It is the origination of the phrase 'daylight robbery'. True!
