10:18 am

hurshy

funny that we are playing a word game on the internet in which internet does not count

10:38 am

aebmusica

because Donner is a reindeer hurshy.

10:38 am

hurshy

but having a proper noun meaning doesn't stop a word from also having a common noun meaning, like ja4 or do5

10:39 am

aebmusica

just a joke, hurshy

10:39 am

hurshy

10:51 am
