8:35 am

hurshy

that's my 6/27, but i have heard it used as a noun

8:37 am

hokie carla

have to say I've never heard it used as anything, which is why I declared it weird. though I do think I've seen it here before.

8:41 am

hurshy

8:41 am

penquis

9:20 am

MollyL

What easy means to Hurshy does not apply to the rest of us

9:20 am

hokie carla

that's what I told her

9:20 am

penquis

of course, there is no definition for that...beginning to think that the enable creators were just poor spellers....

9:21 am

BzznBea

It is a japanese sword I beleive

9:21 am

hokie carla

the K word, not the L one

9:30 am
