That should be go to the bank!

5:31 am

mattygroves

Can anyone clue the Ks?

5:31 am

sootica

5:31 am

Haz1558

kn4/8 - an activity with wool

5:32 am

mattygroves

Coulda sworn I'd tried that - clearly not :D

5:32 am

Haz1558

kn4/6 an activitity with rope

5:32 am

Karys

kr5/20.....german cabbage thingy

5:32 am

lynxxx

Ks - go k*** / k*** a jumper / k*** a string or rope / cabbage side dish / ky4.10

5:33 am

mattygroves

Merci, Danke, Domo Arigato, Gratzie, Gracias, Obrigada, and so forth ;)

5:33 am

Karys

ty for the last one lynxxx

5:33 am

mattygroves

I was blind the the KNs.

5:33 am

herinfernallady

can we have some warning on multiple clues its a bit rude with 18 hours to go

5:34 am

Karys

thats my first grey-out !

5:35 am

lynxxx

Hi Infernal - maybe you should cover up the chat until you are ready to see it - ?

5:36 am

herinfernallady

well most people don't give a lot of clues at once without warning

5:36 am

mattygroves

I would have thought the warning was when someone asks.

5:37 am

herinfernallady

the clue was for one word not three

5:37 am

Haz1558

Clues were requested for k words. There are only 5 k words so it's hardly a major problem, is it?

5:37 am

mattygroves

I'd suggest you cover the chat and ignore it if you don't want to give or receive clues, as that is what mostly happens here. Thanks to all who do clue willingly! :D

5:37 am

Lain

5 / 328 = VERY low % of words

5:38 am

lynxxx

It was asked for Infernal. I know I am grateful for any clues on a grid this size as although there may be 18 hours to go - I certainly cannot spend 18 hours in front of this machine.

5:39 am

herinfernallady

neither can i but i have got a third of the words without clues or a reference grid, so there is 5 k words i got three without asking

5:39 am

sugar

Hello everyone, just got to 100 words

5:39 am

Karys

may I just add that I too am very grateful for any clues on a grid this size :)

5:39 am

Haz1558

I think we resent giving clues for 5 words, upon request, being called 'rude'.

5:40 am

mattygroves

Well, in that case, you should just leave the chat box alone. I'd rather have clues that are asked for than the drunken, troll nonsence we sometimes get here.

5:40 am

Lain

unfortunately i dont think ill get my 3rd fireworks in a row this week

5:40 am

Lain

this puzzles just too daunting

5:40 am

lynxxx

ac8.50 - does anyone know if this is compound?

5:41 am

Karys

no lyn....would gladly clue it if only I could !!

5:41 am

mattygroves

I don't have it - if I do, I'll happily clue it.

5:42 am

Karys

add third vowel to ac5/14 angle size thing and then a pl

5:42 am

lynxxx

TY Karys - will do!

5:43 am

Karys

sorry ..it's the best I can do !

5:43 am

herinfernallady

hey matt everything is fine when your not here so it must be you, and what you said is just rude, i am not drunk nor a troll and i have everyright to say hay warning and i didn't mean to offend, its not my fault i don't even have a stat panel and i haven 't asked yet and you have just stated matty

5:43 am

shorty

wow I think it great when you guys give clues and if you get more than one big deal you may not understand one but umderstand the other!

5:43 am

sugar

thanks KARYS

5:43 am

mattygroves

I assume that 'angle size' is also a sharp pain?

5:43 am

Haz1558

It is NOT matty.

5:44 am

Karys

thats it matty.....sugar glad it made sense to someone

5:46 am

mattygroves

I'm still struggling to get that AC8, though...I imagine the trick is finding where that third vowel goes...

5:46 am

Karys

it's the 4th matty

5:48 am

periwinkle

Hi all, Karys I have the ac5/14 but can't seem to make it longer even with your clue

5:48 am

periwinkle

I am having the same problem matty

5:48 am

Karys

take off the last letter peri, and add the longest pl you can find

5:48 am

mattygroves

Ditto...

5:49 am

Karys

the pl that you do with your shoelaces !

5:49 am

sugar

Try thinking about eyesight for ac5/14?

5:49 am

mattygroves

Got it guys - thanks for the wonderful clues.

5:50 am

Karys

well done matty !

5:50 am

mattygroves

The eye clue was very useful, especially in combination with the letter clues. Cheers!

5:50 am

Karys

5:50 am

sugar

yw Matty

5:51 am

periwinkle

5:51 am

5:52 am

sha

hi all back for a bit how everyone doing?

5:52 am

herinfernallady

hey i just found another semi naughty word, hi sha

5:52 am

lynxxx

Hi Sha - struggling!

5:53 am

mattygroves

IN9/66 - not careful?

5:53 am

mattygroves

Or more accurately 'without care'

5:54 am

periwinkle

ok matty will look for that one

5:54 am

mattygroves

Have you got the ca7/36? That'll help you with that nine. I'm still missing one nine though. I also have the fabulously clued TH9.

5:54 am

lynxxx

Hi Peri - ra9.66 ... ra + last vowel + big towns

5:55 am

periwinkle

thanks lyn will look for that one too

5:55 am

mattygroves

Thanks lynxxx - great clue - that's my 9s!

5:56 am

periwinkle

got the ra9, thanks lynxxx

5:56 am

Bloodaxe

i think the th9 clues was SO great that it should be repeated (i.e. i missed it)

5:56 am

kthdsn

I'm finally back, connection problems grrr

periwinkle

5:56 am

5:57 am

Bloodaxe

morning all. i was in spain for 9 days, and have been getting back into the groove at school since i got back.

5:57 am

Haz1558

th9 - first a number, minus a vowel. Then a vowel, then the number that comes before ten.

5:58 am

Haz1558

It can be made plural for th10/77. Glad to see you back again, Bloodaxe.

5:58 am

Bloodaxe

WOW! what a clue! thanks haz.

5:58 am

Haz1558

ca7 - this man is dangerous, you should approach him with ca7/36.

5:59 am

lynxxx

ca7 - throw ca***** to the wind

5:59 am

periwinkle

still looking for the in9

5:59 am

periwinkle

oh, that ca7 thanks lynxx

5:59 am

Haz1558

in9 - put in in front of the ca7.

5:59 am

periwinkle

and Haz :)

6:00 am

periwinkle

I just did Haz, thanks, stupidhead word

6:00 am

kthdsn

6:01 am

Haz1558

It won't take resat either - just one of those annoying glitches with enable.

6:01 am

Charm

kth - add a vowel to the end of it....

6:01 am

Charm

6:03 am

mattygroves

When you try to enter words streight into the right place, it jumps you back to the top.

7:46 am

Haz1558

Think of the way in the bible or shakespeare, brothers would have been rendered. Take the requisite number of letters off the beginning and add to the ci.

7:46 am

Wolvie

wow. I'll watch for that

7:47 am

Wolvie

that was for matty - thanks for the additional clue, haz, I will think on it

I hated Romeo and Juliet. I liked MacBeth (and JC) - it's hard to find the comedies actually funny though, when you just read them. Much better performed.

R&J should have grown up and made some adult decisions. Their parents should have grown up and acted like adults about their differences. Having said that, it is not one of my faves.

msilver620

kthdsn.....it's not just a word. It is an insult to women. It is a horrible, derogatory word. You're children are obviously too young to play Babble so you may not care. My 11-year-old plays after school and she loves it. I didn't mind when she saw the word penis because that is not a bad word. It's a good word. So I won't get over it. You should gvrow up!!!!

8:09 am

kthdsn

I'm sorry msilver, I just don't find it insulting unless it's used as an insult

8:09 am

Wolvie

I am way behind in this chat - which word is it that has folks cringing and getting upset - the cu word??

8:09 am

the word in question is an archaic word, often used in an insulting way today, but not always

8:09 am

yes wolvie

8:09 am

um that c word is derogatory and penis is a body part like vagina but hey maybe it would be a good idea to have a junior babble

We disagree. It is always an insult. Can you give me an example of when the word cunt is not an insult? Have you ever heard anyone called a cunt in any other way?

8:11 am

kthdsn

well in this grid it is not used as an insult, the grid is not calling anyone it, it's just a word

8:11 am

the plural in question is the plural of the cr 6/21, right?

You are entitled to your opinion. It is plain and simple an exclusively deragory word used to describe female gentalia in an insulting manner and I think it was in poor taste. As a 4 letter word, surely they could have come up with some else. End of matter. Back to the grid.

8:13 am

can you clue it, fern - I missed the clue for it

8:13 am

cu** like most objectionable words relies on context. if i call you that it is a vulgar insult. my ex took ownership of the word, much as african americans have recontextualized ni**er and gays have retaken the word fag. she used to describe her period as the cu** blues.

I believe words are only offensive if you allow yourself to be offended by them, if someone chooses to call me that I just think they are a bit pathetic and choose not to take offence. I think I have a very mature attitude in that sense, and I'm sorry if anyone disagrees

8:57 am

kthdsn

8:57 am

Wolvie

sorry April - my mistake

8:58 am

kthdsn

9:01 am

AprilD

Lilies....scaled 'bulbs'

9:01 am

kthdsn

9:01 am

AprilD

AprilD

9:08 am

Biltong

Try refresh, bunny

9:08 am

AprilD

bunny, it was acting very funny last night. They added some features. It is still acting funny for me too, but not bumping me out and posting an error message anymore

9:08 am

kthdsn

bunny lickety added some features, he said email him if there are any problems

9:08 am

herinfernallady

ok its the some as the other one but using a vowel at the end

9:08 am

AprilD

it won't refresh for me. still has yesterdays words in it

9:08 am

bunnyvicious

If I refresh, will I lose the words I've entered, I'm down to 36 words, don't want to re-type...

9:08 am

herinfernallady

ok its the some as the other one but using a vowel at the end

9:08 am

kthdsn

ty herin

9:09 am

AprilD

isn't there already a vowel at the end?

9:09 am

AprilD

9:09 am

kthdsn

latin plural april

9:09 am

Vicuna

English and Latin plurals

9:09 am

AprilD

9:09 am

herinfernallady

bunny copy that to a word document then use ctrl b to highlight the words you got

9:10 am

AprilD

herin, does it automatically put them in order that way?

9:10 am

Biltong

bunnyvicious

herinfernallady

9:11 am

AprilD

thanks herin, I will try that

9:11 am

kthdsn

th9/10 small number, change last letter + number before ten, then plural

9:11 am

kthdsn

th8, similar, but without the r and change the first vowel

9:12 am

herinfernallady

i type the word in the add word box on this page but bold type the words i got on a word doc, it saves going to and from web pages as my net can be bitchy

9:12 am

AprilD

kth, with botanical (or natural) latin, there is family, genus, species, subspecies and 'cultivar' or cultivated variety

9:13 am

AprilD

9:14 am

Vicuna

King Phillip's Soldiers Caught Only Five German Spies:
Kingdom, Phyllum, Subphyllum, Class, Order, Family Genus, Species

9:14 am

kthdsn

I did latin at school but it didn't cover any scientific or botanical stuff, just boring old documents

9:14 am

herinfernallady

bunny having a word doc you can minipulate it to fit down the side of this list

9:14 am

kthdsn

th10 is plural of the 9

9:15 am

AprilD

yay thanks!

9:16 am

AprilD

indeed Vic, but fortunatly, not being a Taxonomist, I am only interested in Family and below

9:16 am

Vicuna

That's the 9th grade biology talking. :)

9:16 am

AprilD

I never had that....I am a ninth grade drop out

9:17 am

AprilD

but college does wonders

9:17 am

kthdsn

what age is 9th grade?

9:17 am

AprilD

and my Horticulture degrees, though I confess, I lose almost all the info very quickly

9:17 am

AprilD

somewhere between 14 and 15

9:18 am

Vicuna

9th grade is age 14

9:18 am

kthdsn

you can drop out of school at that age?

9:18 am

AprilD

you don't need high school to go to college, but it sure helps

9:18 am

Vicuna

Obviously you are getting all you need of that stuff without the 9th grade, April! I wouldn't know any of it without the gardening, either.

9:19 am

AprilD

not really kth, I was pulled out and given a home tutor and never could get back to school. I got in a lot of trouble for not going back

9:19 am

kthdsn

oh i see

9:19 am

AprilD

gardening helps with so many things doesn't it Vic?

9:19 am

Vicuna

Absolutely! :)

9:20 am

some of us are not meant to be in public or traditional ecucation

9:20 am

AprilD

hi Tor

9:20 am

Biltong

kthdsn, the other th8 you clued, you said is similar, could you give it again please, I don't get it.

9:21 am

kthdsn

if you have the th9, remove the R and change the first vowel

9:21 am

kthdsn

april I think education is largely pointless, but learning on your own steam because you are interested in something is wonderful

9:22 am

Biltong

ty, will try again

9:22 am

Haz1558

I couldn't disagree more, kthdsn.

9:22 am

AprilD

I could have used the education I missed out on...though the cultural environment was something I could and did do without.

9:22 am

Vicuna

I sure appreciate my education.

9:23 am

AprilD

the education would have helped, but you don't need it to go to college

9:23 am

kthdsn

I found my education pointless and the things I have learnt since leaving school have been far more interesting and useful to me

9:23 am

AprilD

I appreciate mine too Vic, and am still in college. I feel very lucky

9:24 am

AprilD

though I understand what kth is talking about. Traditional education systems are very useless for some people.

9:24 am

kthdsn

I find my children's education horrific, they are rewarded for sitting still and shutting up, they come home with stickers for "good sitting"

9:24 am

Vicuna

Schools and education are not, unfortunately, synonymous.

9:24 am

AprilD

indeed Vic, and true that kth

9:26 am

kthdsn

school teaches you to do as you're told and fit in with society instead of to be yourself and grow into a wonderful person

9:26 am

Vicuna

That's pretty bad, kth. (Although it IS useful for kids to learn to sit still! Just not the ONLY thing they should be learning!)

9:26 am

EvaNadine

*just popped in to see the convo about education*
thankful im only a dance teacher + not a real teacher... its tough being a teacher or a student these days!

9:26 am

raelite

hm...if only you could get straight A's that way...

9:27 am

kthdsn

I don't think they should learn to sit still at all, I think they should be allowed to explore and discover. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to offer my children an alternative to traditional school

9:28 am

AprilD

some schools here offer a non traditional format within the public school system that is very cool, though you have to apply and it is a drive

9:28 am

AprilD

and you have to attend class with your kid one day a week.

9:28 am

kthdsn

that sounds interesting april

9:29 am

AprilD

called 'Open Classroom" or 'OC'

9:29 am

mattu

hi all. I have just joined

9:29 am

herinfernallady

i got told right from wrong but most of my classmates were tossers. If we got a group detention my dad said stiff your going but the kids that did wrong parents whinged. Hi mattu

9:29 am

raelite

when I did my practicum, I had my grade 2 class get up and shake it off every hour or so

9:29 am

AprilD

when I have kids, I will go that route, or figure something else out

9:29 am

AprilD

hi mattu

9:29 am

mattu

Can any 1 help me with ac 5,12?

9:29 am

Vicuna

Kids who can't sit still can't explore and discover. You can't read a book or perform a science experiment or listen carefully to a friend or watch a performance if you can't settle down. However, i'm hardly an advocate of the "traditional" sitting in rows of desks thing, so I won't argue too vociferously.

9:30 am

raelite

hi mattu

9:30 am

kthdsn

I completely disagree with detention, it's pointless and counterproductive

9:30 am

mattu

hi raelite

9:31 am

Cherrypop

So there is NO bad behavior? Try that with 30 2nd graders!

9:31 am

kthdsn

ok I see you're point vicuna, although I think they should follow their curiosity and if that leads them to books great, if not, it will lead them somewhere else

9:31 am

herinfernallady

10:02 am

Vicuna

Sorry to disagree again, Eggcorn. But trolls are not those, however, new, who join discussions. Trolls are those who strat saying Bable players are losers, or throw around sexual slurs, or ask why everyone is so mean to them, or deliberately type words in the log...

At rest, I mean. Sigh.

10:05 am

mattygroves

Trolls usually have no clue where the 'shift' button is (all small letters) or the basic principles of spelling and grammar. I'm not talking typos (I make those all the time), but just plain illiteracy. Having said that, not everyone with a poor grasp of the rules of written English is necessarily a troll.

10:05 am

Vicuna

They are Latin and English pl's of the same word.

10:05 am

stidmama

inebriated or distracted by kids, the result is the same, matty -- total confusion!

10:08 am

EvaNadine

i guess the difference is that it takes time to make friends on the log (just like in real life)
we are open + accepting of people who make an effort, but when youre pushy and rude and we dont even know you, we dont really want to get to know you.

10:08 am

I worked on it this morning, but never did get the ci 8,45 yet. I know it has to do with juicy fruits, but I can't make the plural with that s way at the bottom.

11:21 am

Haz1558

Start with the c in the top row and work down.

11:21 am

Wolvie

do you have the ci 7/32 at the bottom?

11:22 am

Haz1558

Sorry - it's the other one. It's a twisty word, but it works.

11:22 am

You need to change the second vowel merk

11:23 am

torgone

ya6 is a plant ..

11:59 am

hurshy

dang it, where's my on-call botanist??

11:59 am

Jacula

ya7 is the plant's plural.

12:00 pm

ARB

ya 6/21 has a lot of vowels and only one real consonant.

12:00 pm

hurshy

thanks ARB, that helped!

12:00 pm

torgone

Starts kind of like a luxury boat . .

12:01 pm

hurshy

now i know two plants that start with y

12:01 pm

Jacula

hursh - ya6: also known as 'tannia', is a culinary root a bit like a turnip.

12:01 pm

hurshy

that and yucca

12:01 pm

M3

yeah have all the 4's !!

12:02 pm

ARB

Is yucca yucky?

12:02 pm

hurshy

i dunno, heard of it, haven't tasted it

Jacula

Same here, hursh.

12:02 pm

Takuma Sato

12:03 pm

hurshy

i got the ra9 when merk was getting clued on it so i have that one.

12:03 pm

th9 & 10 - don't have them yet ..

12:05 pm

torgone

en7/32, to do with seaweed, i think...

12:06 pm

ARB

Add a suffix to the en 5/10 before it

12:06 pm

Jacula

You know the character 7 of 'one before ten' from StarTrek Voyager? The th9 (pl.10) sounds a bit like her but with only 3 of 'one before ten'.

12:06 pm

Jacula

Hope that helps! Got to go and do dinner now. BBL.

12:07 pm

Good clue Jac! Thanks!

12:14 pm

jean1953

good evening everybody:)

12:14 pm

ARB

That was in response to Merk's having gotten too many re words and sh asked how it happened. My one word answerwas your definition of the in 9 word

12:14 pm

hurshy

shot through the heart, and you're to blame
you give love a bad name

12:16 pm

hurshy

oh, why? poor nTkh

12:16 pm

Merk

But I'm missing an 'ro' 4,4 so that makes up for the extra 're'. I have disturbing something, like the waters, and memorizing. Which am I missing?

12:16 pm

EvaNadine

one, i think was on clue-ing
another was on the appropriate-ness of the naughty CU word in the grid...
and another was on education...

12:16 pm

hurshy

change last letter on memorizing

12:17 pm

hurshy

ah, the perennial cluing argument...

12:18 pm

ARB

no I was obtuse

12:18 pm

12:22 pm

Merk

I'm at my son's on an incredibly slow computer and I don't have my French dictionary here. That's the ro 5,10?

12:22 pm

hurshy

kay, i'll play with that then, thanks!

12:22 pm

ARB

Yes, Merk

12:22 pm

hurshy

merk, it's 4/4, and pl is 5/10

12:23 pm

Uneaixoise

ro4 is the singular and yes, ro5/10 is the plural

12:23 pm

torgone

r + Mayberry's drunkard

12:23 pm

12:30 pm

Merk

I have to chat so slowly because of the computer and connection. Hurshy, French roast is the same as memorize, but change the last vowel. But I thought someone typed in that the French roast was a five letter word. That's what confused me.

12:30 pm

stidmama

ARB, do you have the O from the top right corner (b'vakasha)?

12:31 pm

torgone

Sorry . .wonder what's on my mind today . .

Uneaixoise

the plural is a five-letter word, merk

12:31 pm

Don't know. I just model them... Uneaixoise! Hope they are selling enough for Dr_G to recoup the investment at least.

12:32 pm

Uneaixoise

ooohhh, somehow thought you had something to do with sales--sorry! :=)

12:32 pm

I just remind people to buy one in my profile. short of buying more, it's the best I can do!

No, you should say todah (thank you) and I answer b'vakasha (you're welcome)

Some of these 'ier' endings are stretch to the imagination. Unbelievable. Can one apartment that is leased me more so than another? Yes, but do we say it we an 'ier' on the re** word?

1:03 pm

torgone

I don't think it matters much . .A few ninutes to settle should be good . .

1:03 pm

hurshy

if you cross a cuckoo and a canary, you get a cuckary

1:03 pm

Vicuna

It's meant to be FUN, cyber! If it stops being fun sans list, then going to the list is the only right and proper thing to do!

1:11 pm

hurshy

yeah... i mean to say... my attitude towards the list is... "not that there's anything wrong with that..."

1:12 pm

hurshy

i shall probably use the list myself in a bit, this is a large grid and between the tennis i am about to play and the housework i ought to do and the students who will come for math help and ER tonight, i just don't think i have TIME to finish listless

1:12 pm

hurshy

and mitten keeps looking at me. i don't know why, it isn't food time.

1:13 pm

cybernan

Time is also my constraint -- have more house guests arriving tomorrow and I'm supposed to be designing a web page for the hospital auxiliary

1:13 pm

Vicuna

She's trying to tell you you should be chasing mice or something more interesting like that.

1:29 pm

I was not able to play for almost two weeks but now have high speed internet service.

1:29 pm

mamabear

YIKES X 2.... sudoku is a hard..... so that's not a good nooner either.

GreyWoulf

That's ok, cnan -- I usually am not on at this time, but since I have some extra time on my break and lots of friends are around I thought I would say hi :)

1:30 pm

GreyWoulf

*smiling at mama, but not saying a word*

:D

1:31 pm

GreyWoulf

Great news, peri -- at least re: the hi speed -- what kind? cable or dsl?

1:31 pm

1:32 pm

GreyWoulf

congrats, mama -- that's more that I have won from lottery tix in the past 5 years

1:32 pm

cybernan

wow -- better buy a ticket on the big one, mama!

1:33 pm

mamabear

well, actually it was a $500 prize, but 3 of us went in on the ticket together, so we split it. Gonna each get $150 and spend the $50 leftover on more tickets!

1:33 pm

Scarlet

Hello, all. GreyWoulf, we hear that you have a red-hot senatorial race going on in your state. Any input?

1:33 pm

Eva

Vicuna

Oh, that makes sense Mama. Have fun with it!

1:34 pm

Scarlet

No, cybernan, it's next Tuesday, but there is an obscene amount of $$ being spent on races... and the commercials make my cat cry.

1:34 pm

mamabear

it's going to go in my "future stash fund"

1:35 pm

GreyWoulf

Scarlet -- I have to admit that I am very politically unaware, so my input is that I will be glad when they are done for the year so I can stop seeing so much negative campaigning

1:35 pm

Scarlet

Congratulations, MAMABEAR, you must have the luck of the blessed, today!

1:35 pm

Wolvie

ursh, it is the plural of the th 9/60

1:36 pm

mamabear

I could use it right about now, scarlet, thanks!

1:36 pm

GreyWoulf

1:36 pm

periwinkle

first ci5/12?

1:36 pm

Vicuna

The 10 is pl of th9/60, which is not a word you probably ever heard before unless you're a chemist.

1:36 pm

1:37 pm
