12:47 am
hurshy

absolutely, i often suck at my last few
12:48 am
hurshy

and my relationship with 6s is iffy at best
12:48 am
justafreep

you're missing a past tense in the d's. also one that looks at first like a typo (in letter 5). and there's only one h6, so I dunno if I should clue. But you're missing that one
12:49 am
hurshy

i was missing a de6
12:49 am
hurshy

i dunno if i can be missing a past tense, i have one and i don't see what else i can pt
12:49 am
hurshy

oohhh yes i do
12:50 am
justafreep

try your do4s and you'll find one you don't have
12:50 am
hurshy

yes, got it
12:50 am
hurshy

just the h then
12:50 am
justafreep

And yeah, that de6 was the typo one
12:51 am
hurshy

mk cool

JMC will be so happy that za4 is in the grid. For some reason, she loves that word.

8:10 am
jmcnrick

hi all
8:11 am
jmcnrick

*starts grinning uncontrollably* za** za** za**
8:11 am
jmcnrick

*dancing*
8:11 am
jmcnrick

admit Molls. It's a cool word.
8:11 am
jmcnrick

and fun to say
8:12 am
jmcnrick

hokie was it a stone that starts fires?
8:12 am
hokie carla

no! it was za4
8:13 am
jmcnrick

yeah! my all time favorite word
8:14 am
hokie carla

would make a good expletive. the def. is interesting.
8:14 am
jmcnrick

it has two def. which did you find?
8:15 am
hokie carla

a coffee cup holder without a handle and metal
8:15 am
jmcnrick

yes. especially the holders on the wall in boats that swing and keep the liquid upright.
8:16 am
MollyL

It looks like something you would see in a voice bubble in a Batman comic book fight. Right after SOCKO!
8:16 am
hokie carla

ah
8:16 am
jmcnrick

it also has an archaic def, of annoying male. I love the ridiculous juxtaposition
8:16 am
hokie carla

wonder who came up with that name
8:17 am
jmcnrick

a pirate, of course--argh, put me coffee in the zarf while the sea is heavy!
8:18 am
Vicuna

The Arabs, actually. Didn't know about the boat def. The original is from the Middle East. the coffee cup has no handle, which is why you put it in za4, which does have a handle.
8:18 am
MollyL

Pirates drink coffee? I thought they stuck to rum.
8:18 am
jmcnrick

thank you vicuna
8:19 am
jmcnrick

you have to wake up from all the rum drinking to go raiding
8:19 am
Vicuna

Etymologies R Us

ugh I had a shag rug in Houston and it got full of fleas. I had the worst time getting rid of them since they were so protected by the shag. I finally tore it up and threw it away

We had a hideous orange shag rug in the rec room of my parents house. I have no idea why my mother hung onto that for so long.

We had a conversation about the z4 earlier and I think Carla was jokingly saying that JMC could clue the word because it is her favorite word. I really wish people would stop taking things so personally here. Sometimes people are just kidding around. No one made fun of the clue request.

Hokie, the definition for the fr5 you are thinking of is to create tiny curls or tufts.
10:02 am

Yep, I tried that too ;)

Sorry, but I am SURE that if I wrote "It was so cold last night that it fr4" on an English paper there would be a BIG RED X next to it.
10:09 am

yep, even in appalachia
10:09 am
hokie carla

I say that because it does sound like something we'd say
10:09 am
ch1212

Then you would have the rare and delightful opportunity to correct your English teacher ;)
10:11 am
MollyL

No thanks, I will stick with the more grammatically correct five letter word. Besides, fr4 connotes kinky hair for most people.
10:12 am
hokie carla

I was talking to a mom back in the winter whose son was a senior this year and she was telling me how bad the english teachers were. one of them marked his proper usage of a word wrong and they argued with him and the principal. it was a latin sing/pl thing. like media/medium, atria/atrium. I think maybe he used datum and got marked wrong.
10:12 am
hokie carla

that is a do5 (just found that word I like)
10:16 am
MollyL

I shudder to think what English teachers will be like in 10 years when this crop of "c u l8tr" texters grows up
10:17 am

my english teacher in HS was a grammar nazi and I thank her for that
10:17 am
ch1212

When I was in college, I was honored (and felt out of my depth!) that one of my English profs asked me to do him a favor and proof and edit his doctoral thesis. I was a freshman at the time. So what I learned was, English teachers make mistakes -- like, asking a freshman to proof their theses! lolololol!
10:17 am

and no offense meant by the use of "nazi", sorry

The nun I had in 8th grade thought that diagramming sentences was the best teaching tool ever. And we did it for hours at a time. I still have nightmares about diagramming sentences.

10:22 am

Um, well, okay. Note: If you ever get divorced, I don't recommend putting that in your Tinder profile.
