Shiksa is actually a Yiddish word , albeit corrupted from Hebrew -- to make it more complicated!

"Shiksa"? That's a hell of an identity to give yourself.

It simply means a non-Jewish female

I know, Samantha, they can be a pain. I merely wanted to say that a bit of monkeytyping will help us out for 4-letter words very fast.
1:50 am
joey
as I was finishing I noticed that even though i had 70 words, the stats told me that I still had 22 to find. I am thinking that had i refreshed and ended with the correct number to go, I might have gotten them.
1:50 am
joey
or, it could have been the little green men that live in my computer
1:50 am

a quick word on this subject: some of us come from a crossword background & prefer syn. & clues. Some come from pattern-based puzzles and need more concrete paths to find the answers
2:00 am
Atalante
I just think there is a big difference between giving a clue and giving out the word. thats all :)
2:00 am
wassup
I totally agree. And sometimes there are ridiculous clues given when a more subtle approach could be taken. It's not going to kill anyone to get a word too easily though. Really.
2:00 am

You make a telling point, missy

That's 'naoi' and it's not in this grid.
A babblet is a word you only know because you babble a lot, because it will never be found or used somewhere else ;)
3:31 am
amandacath
That's it, Sprite. Can't ever remember which order the vowels go in
3:31 am
Nani
omg, can anyone hint for the ga6?
3:32 am
FranMag
rish, add a suffix to ga 4/6
3:32 am
mrpresident
yeah a babblet word is like to4/4... it is useless in english, but here all the time!!
3:32 am
Quoth
Theres also Naos, which is ithe plural of Naoi, or vice versa
3:33 am
Nani
thanx, fran!
3:33 am

The iw4 is one of them too. Also spelled with Y in some grids. My all time favorite of the babblets.
3:34 am
mattygroves
OOh - like the NY Times crossword always has Etui as an answer- my mother has been desperate to use it in conversation, so my daughter made her one.
3:35 am
FranMag
etui is a piece of furniture, right?
3:35 am
sprite
lolllll! It is in babble grids a lot, that 'etui'. Also spelled 'etwee', which is even funnier.
3:35 am
sprite
A needle holder, to be precise
3:35 am
mattygroves
It's a needle case. Can anyone help with the iw4?
3:36 am
sprite
Add a form of to be and you are there.
3:36 am
mattygroves
Never mind, got it.
3:36 am
FranMag
iw 4 is like the bird from new zealand without the first letter
3:36 am
FranMag
my typing was too slow
3:36 am
mattygroves
Thanks! Oleo always appears in the crossword, as does Oreo.
3:37 am
sprite
Nah, we are all very helpful people, that's all ;)
3:37 am
mattygroves
apparently the iw means Indeed; truly
3:38 am

I got it in the end with the help of the trusty crossword solver.
3:38 am

It does. I love the ring of it. Almost sounds as heartily as a curse.
3:39 am
FranMag
anyone have that sa 5/14?
3:39 am
sprite
Am sry, Fran, not yet.
3:39 am
mattygroves
Is it pronounced with a long eye or short i?
3:40 am
sprite
The other spelling is with Y, so I'd say short.
3:41 am
Nani
this is short but brutal
3:41 am
FranMag
rish, don't have it yet
3:42 am
Nani
yeah, looking for it too
3:42 am
amandacath
I'm guessing it's pronounce with a short i and accent on the second syllable. When I found out what it meant I finally understood it. If you're up for a linguistics lesson I'll give you a rough explanation
3:42 am
FranMag
go for it amandacath
3:43 am
mattygroves
Yes please (I'm really interested in linguistics - have you read any of Bill Bryson's books on the English language?)
3:43 am

There is a dutch word that is almost the same, starting G. Must be related, has the same meaning.

amandacath
Dunno, possibly have read them, Matty. Gimme some titles.
Your g-word is probably the right one, Sprite. The German word is "gewiss" from "wissen"=to know. I can't remember the exact process, but alot of the germanic words that mutated into english ones changed the ge prefix to a y, and that's how, through some sort of mistaken etymology, we ended up with things like "Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe"
I really do need to look this dealy up - college was quite a long time ago
3:49 am

That is so cool Snowy. I can't even imagine having my granddaughters in scouting -- considering my oldest is only 12<G> Hannah is finishing up her Daisy year and has a very good Brownie leader for next year. I will assist that troop but am not leading as my Cadets are real go getters that keep me very busy.

I yearn for the good old days when we had more sensible lifestyles. When the big box stores go into a town, it's downright dangerous to walk or bike. urban sprawl is not generally conducive to a walking or biking.

Stid, courgettes are what the English call zuchini. Or do I mean the other way round? Anyway, Snowyowl you can throw any of your eggies in a stirfry withy peppers and garlic (or onion or both) and herbs and spices at will and serve with melted cheese--any kind-- on top with crusty rolls. Or you can shred courgettes and add to any cake batter o a super mist cake. . .must have some brakfast now!

Basically with a beef allergy you can't digest the complex protien (I have an beef alergy too). There are different kinds of bacteria in your stomach that digest different kinds of protiens.

sometimes for different reason the bacteria 'die off' and it causes ungodly things to happen to your digestion when it comes to beef.

Yah. I was told I could 'build up a resistance' by basically force feeding myself a lot of beef over a year. I decided to eat a lot of chiken instead. I find I have problems with pork and lamb too. I can get away with over-proccessed beef (Like hotdogs) but I still get the rumblies.
