I figured it was a cat trying to communicate, but good for your pup, lol!

3:23 am

8:14 am

rururocks

me neither.. but sometimes people confuse the two of us

8:14 am

mael

:)

8:15 am

MollyL

True Ru. Maybe we should go by Thing 1 and Thing 2.

8:16 am

mael

after a decade of playing I've finally started remembering that oc5 is a word

8:19 am

periwinkle

8:20 am

8:21 am

MollyL

Like bell bottom pants

8:21 am

periwinkle

ah ty Molly and mael

8:22 am

MollyL

It has been years since I heard or saw anyone use the word snazzy

8:22 am

periwinkle

need to go food shopping bbl

8:22 am

rururocks

(note to self start using snazzy in the chat)

8:23 am

MollyL

It sounds like a word Hurshy would use

8:23 am

mael

it's a good word

8:23 am

Shirlockc

i must be not snazzy as i can't figure out that word

8:23 am

rururocks

it is a good word

8:23 am

rururocks

I use it fairly often but then I'm old

8:24 am

mael

substitute snazzy with stylish, if it's easier!

8:24 am

mael

I use it too, and so do my kids haha

8:24 am

MollyL

They have a pleasant mix of antiques, re5 furniture and contemporary art.

8:25 am

mael

but I heard my 6 year old use "wicked" like a native the other day which made me realize that he... is a native masshole

8:25 am

mael

masshole (affectionate) that is

8:25 am

MollyL

There are some words I associate with my parent's generation. Nifty and swell are two of them.

8:28 am

MollyL

The one that got me when my cousins used it was bubbler (what Massachusetts people call a water fountain)

8:29 am

MollyL

That and tonic for soda

8:29 am

rururocks

I love the Boston accent

8:29 am

rururocks

I love the Boston accent

8:29 am

rururocks

I love the Boston accent

8:30 am

mael

same :)

8:30 am

MollyL

That's big love

8:30 am

mael

I've lived here long enough that I've taken on the lingo, if not the accent

8:31 am

MollyL

I work with a guy whose wife is from Boston and he says her parents brought her up NOT to talk like that.

8:32 am

mael

bubbler, packie, wicked, jimmies, cellar

8:33 am

MollyL

We have an ice cream place nearby called Jimmy Cone

8:33 am

mael

it was definitely a class thing, the accent anyway. but the lingo is pervasive even if you don't say cah and hahvahd

8:33 am

MollyL

Used to. I think COVID closed them down.

8:34 am

phaeton

hello...clue for the ro7 pls

8:34 am

marksdolly

I lived in Mass for 13 yrs, they have a lingo of their own, when there they said I had an Iowa accent, here they tell me I have a Bostonian accent

8:34 am

rururocks

I hired a cab driver to drive me around Boston once just to hear him point out the sites in his accents. I loved it

8:36 am

mael

i've ended up with a very neutral accent, the mass accented balanced out the british accent I started with

8:36 am

MollyL

ro + note after lah + first three of a boat that transports cars

8:36 am

mael

like I said, molly gives great clues :)

8:37 am

MollyL

Someone clued it early as tiny crustaceans and I was like "say what"?

8:37 am

mael

I was gonna say that it ended like a source of drinking water

8:37 am

phaeton

ty Molly

8:37 am

rururocks

yeah.. they're brackish water crustaceans

8:37 am

MollyL

I thought you were Italian. Where did the British accent come from?

8:38 am

mael

learning English in Europe

8:38 am

mael

:)

8:38 am

MollyL

And someone would know that how, Ru

8:38 am

rururocks

taking marine biology I guess...

8:39 am

MollyL

Everyone who took marine biology raise their hand

8:39 am

mael

yeah, I don't know my tiny crustaceans

8:39 am

rururocks

that was going to be my degree Molly at one point in my life

8:40 am

MollyL

Some dream of being the next Jacques Cousteau?

8:41 am

rururocks

maybe.. I met him and his son several times he was a pretty great man.. his son, not so much

8:41 am

MollyL

Oh, that's why you liked that Octopus book so much

8:41 am

rururocks

yeah.. loved that book

8:42 am

mael

oh man, that's cool

8:43 am

rururocks

I met Julia Child twice too.. that was really something

8:43 am

MollyL

The movie won an Oscar for best documentary.

8:43 am

mael

holy crap! that's awesome

8:43 am

MollyL

Julia Child and Wolfgang Puck? You are really in with the celebrity chefs.

8:44 am

rururocks

I'm doing an event with Wolf before too long at Chinois on Main

8:45 am

BzznBea

Have you had dinner at Housef Nanking or Fang?

8:46 am

rururocks

no neither

8:47 am

rururocks

Alinea in Chicago is HIGH on my list

8:47 am

BzznBea

I'd love to go back to SanFran just to eat.

8:48 am

rururocks

come on out bea

8:48 am

rururocks

great places to eat

8:51 am

MollyL

I just looked at Alinea's website. I would simply not know what to do with the food pictured there. Eat it? Appreciate it's art form? Take a picture of it?

8:51 am

mael

all of the above, molly!

8:52 am

rururocks

I know it's amazing

8:52 am

mael

I've always wanted to go to Alinea

8:52 am

rururocks

I think he's one of the greatest chefs in the country

8:52 am

MollyL

I have pedestrian taste in food.

8:52 am

rururocks

no you don't..

8:53 am

mael

I've only really explored awesome restaurants on the east coast, I need to make it over to the west coast for food

8:53 am

mael

and also the middle, obv

8:54 am

rururocks

the food scene is really exciting out here

8:55 am

mael

how do you like sushi, Ru? My favorite restaurant in the world is actually in Boston, O Ya

8:55 am

rururocks

i'm not a raw food guy.. unfortunately

8:55 am

rururocks

sushi isn't for me

8:56 am

mael

it's not for everybody :)

8:56 am

MollyL

I guess steak tartar is out too 😊

8:57 am

mael

another of the most delicious things

8:57 am

rururocks

yep that's out too

8:57 am

rururocks

and oysters

8:57 am

mael

I guess I qualify as a raw food gal then

8:57 am

MollyL

You guys go to some high-stakes restaurants. They look like they charge a cover fee just to get in.

8:57 am

mael

my 8 year old daughter could eat her weight in oysters, it's actually a little alarming

8:58 am

mael

fancy restaurants are my only vice, molly

8:58 am

mael

(no, I probably have more vices, but they're definitely my only expensive vice)

8:58 am

MollyL

She is 8 already? Damn, I remember when you were pregnant with her.

8:59 am

mael

yup, going on 9

8:59 am

mael

time flies

8:59 am

mael

she's a giant nerd like me, it's excellent

9:00 am

MollyL

Enjoy her while you can. Once the hormones hit, life with kids becomes very different.

9:00 am

mael

oh I bet

9:00 am

mael

I hope it rolls back around after

9:00 am

rururocks

if only restaurants were my only vice :D

9:06 am

mael

I also have word puzzles as a vice

9:07 am

rururocks

(bourbon, scotch, gin, fine wine, good books, fast cars, restaurants, museums, etc)

9:09 am

mael

all good things

9:09 am

rururocks

yeah that's what I think too

9:09 am

mael

except the cars, I'm more of a "four wheels and a steering wheel" kind of person

9:09 am

rururocks

I love my sports car

9:10 am

mael

though I shouldn't say that, I love my car right now

9:10 am

mael

I'm never not having an electric car

9:11 am

welki

'morning, babblers

9:11 am

rururocks

hi welks

9:11 am

mael

9:11 am

mael

I finally finished the Ks

9:11 am

mael

20 Ks is a lot of Ks

9:11 am

rururocks

I"m missing three

9:12 am

mael

I was just throwing letters in there by the end

9:12 am

rururocks

usually k's are just four letter words

9:13 am

mael

most of them, with some 5s thrown in, and a couple plurals on top of that

9:19 am

MollyL

Damn, I didn't hear that Jeff Beck died.

9:19 am

rururocks

got them.. just difficulty with one four.. that's a wrap.. have a good day everyoone

9:20 am

9:32 am

hokie carla

9:32 am

BzznBea

9:40 am

hokie carla

a bit stuck at 28. think I will do some things. bye, bea, and anyone else still here.

9:40 am

BzznBea

I thought the F's harder than the Ks.

9:41 am

hokie carla

5-6-8-8-1. too many big ones.

9:41 am

hokie carla

the F's have been tricky. I need 4 + 2, and still need 5 K's.

9:43 am

BzznBea

Leaving 15 for this afternoon...

Book Doctor Gwen

Hi all, 5 minutes to kill, diving in

10:59 am

cybernan

grats - still need 8 of them

11:00 am

penquis

i need 15, lol....

11:02 am

cybernan

missing one a from that top row -- dont think it is a 4 unless it is awfully weird

11:03 am

penquis

don't have any of those yet...

11:07 am

penquis

i have all those As.....did you find the 6?...

11:07 am

cybernan

every golfer here would argue that retee is a word

11:07 am

cybernan

yes

11:07 am

penquis

they are all real words....

11:07 am

cybernan

a 4 and 2 5's as well

11:08 am

cybernan

make that 3 5's

11:08 am

penquis

another 5...

11:09 am

cybernan

ar or at?

11:09 am

penquis

no At words....

11:14 am

cybernan

tried every possible ar 5 from there -- guess it is an ao

11:14 am

cybernan

or an ae

11:15 am

penquis

no AOs....i have all the As from that A....no AE words....

11:15 am

penquis

do you want a clue?....

11:16 am

cybernan

please - i must be skipping the same letter combo over and over

11:16 am

penquis

there are four AR words that start with the same four letters....

11:18 am

cybernan

ty -- missed the one that ends in a vowel

11:18 am

cybernan

whew!

11:18 am

penquis

yw...

11:20 am

cybernan

there was an ro 7/8 called last night but i haven't found it either -- apparently begins like an indian bread

11:22 am

penquis

don't have that....

11:30 am

cybernan

running out of ideas here -- bbl

11:30 am

penquis

bye...

11:51 am

cherlyq

thanks nan

11:53 am

hurshy

i have ro8 and st8, anyone got the other one?

11:54 am

penquis

those are the two that i have...

11:55 am

hurshy

i only knew those ro words because once i saw a title of a science talk happening at Yale called "Sex and Death in Bdelloid Ro8" and it was just so weird that it stuck in my mind

11:56 am

penquis

interesting....i had never heard of it....

11:57 am

hokie carla

another st8

11:57 am

hurshy

i suppose i would clue it as being similar in format to another word for evergreen trees

11:57 am

hokie carla

same word, different vowel

11:57 am

hokie carla

I do not have the RO

11:57 am

hurshy

oh, well that's an anticlimax, isn't it? thanks hokie

11:58 am

hurshy

but, Ss Slayed!

11:58 am

hurshy

well i just gave a clue there hokie...

11:58 am

penquis

carla!....ty....

11:58 am

hokie carla

I can't think of another word for evergreen trees

11:58 am

hokie carla

pen!

11:59 am

hurshy

think about the way they seed - pine c___

11:59 am

hokie carla

ah, added with the clues I saw last night, I got them, thx

11:59 am

hurshy

huzzah!

12:00 pm

hokie carla

it was "starts with indian bread" and I tried everything for the last 3 letters, but TBF I was on my phone, in bed, and it was super late.

12:00 pm

hokie carla

5-6-8-7

12:00 pm

hokie carla

still too heavy on the big end

12:00 pm

hurshy

if you just google "bdelloid" then it kinda comes up with the ro word with it anyway :D

12:01 pm

hokie carla

honestly I thought bdelloid must've been a typo

12:01 pm

hurshy

science has some wacky words

12:02 pm

hurshy

frue

12:02 pm

hurshy

scuse me

12:02 pm

hurshy

doesn't work anyway

12:03 pm

hokie carla

too late

12:03 pm

MollyL

This conversation is getting into advanced word nerd territory

12:03 pm

hokie carla

anyone else keep seeing cloak? I don't even need a C.

12:06 pm

cybernan

the c is in the corner, but no cloak

12:07 pm

hurshy

she meant, she doesn't need to find any more C words, but she keeps wanting to try cloak anyway

12:07 pm

hokie carla

I was very confused by nan's statement

12:07 pm

cybernan

don't know how anyone would know that ro combo

12:07 pm

hurshy

nan took it as "i keep seeing cloak even without a C"

12:08 pm

hurshy

well, as i mentioned a few minutes ago, i just happened to see it in the title of a talk and it stuck in my head

12:08 pm

cybernan

sorry - thought you said I don't even see a c

12:08 pm

cybernan

haven't really wakened up yet

12:09 pm

hurshy

yesterday on the freebee website i managed to dig "zemstvo" out of my high school history memories to get that as a pangram for that bee! i was so proud of myself for that one

12:09 pm

cybernan

haven't really wakened up yet - maybe some breakfast would help!

12:09 pm

penquis

excellent....

12:09 pm

penquis

that site must use a different word list... ;o)

12:10 pm

hurshy

yeah they use like... idk... allll the words lol

12:10 pm

hurshy

it's sort of annoying because then you don't know if you're just not seeing the pangram, or if you're not seeing it because it's a word you don't even know in the first place

12:11 pm

penquis

so a bigger dictionary has its drawbacks, too, i guess....

12:13 pm

hokie carla

pretty sure I've never seen zemstvo in my life

12:13 pm

penquis

same here...

12:14 pm

hokie carla

what kind of history is that?

12:14 pm

cybernan

I play the bee at spellbee.org and spellingbeegame.org Where do you play hurshy?

12:16 pm

hokie carla

I just got to great at the real bee yesterday and not doing so hot today

12:16 pm

BzznBea

Zemstvo is Russian Tsar era.

12:16 pm

moolingwa

12:16 pm

penquis

12:16 pm

cybernan

12:17 pm

hokie carla

moo!

12:17 pm

moolingwa

hey hoke :)

12:17 pm

MollyL

Even if I had seen zemstvo, it would never remain lodged in any memory bank

12:17 pm

hokie carla

moo, let me save you some time, cloak is not here

12:17 pm

moolingwa

oh, okay thnx

12:18 pm

hurshy

oh um, wordle2.io/spelling-bee and freebee.fun/play and spellingbeegame.org

12:18 pm

MollyL

It's a word nerd herd

12:18 pm

hokie carla

I'm lucky to have remembered the word tsar from history

12:18 pm

BzznBea

I got wordle in two today. Had all five letters at one.

12:18 pm

hurshy

i have to protest. i admit to being a word nerd, but the science words are nothing to do with us word nerds, they are the science nerds' fault

12:19 pm

hokie carla

I got it in 3 but was just one letter off in 2nd guess

12:19 pm

moolingwa

99 to go here

12:20 pm

hokie carla

25 left here

12:20 pm

hokie carla

hurshy's protest noted. but she's still a word nerd.

12:20 pm

penquis

33 here...

12:21 pm

BzznBea

She said she admits to that. Not sure about the science part.

12:22 pm

4:21 pm

dcseain

ah, I don't enjoy that one, that makes sense.

4:21 pm

dcseain

oh, from Yiddish, it's basically "what's that" sometimes a bit snarky, though not in this case, merely inquisitive

4:25 pm

Ashkenazi here. My family usually used it in place of "come on already!" LOL

5:28 pm

hokie carla

what is the exact pronunciation?

5:28 pm

hokie carla

we would say something like nyoo for an exaggerated no

5:29 pm

SeaSpray

Ouner

5:30 pm

hokie carla

that is more of a snarky one

5:40 pm

Lizlin

Good morning all :)

5:42 pm

hokie carla

hey lizlin

5:43 pm

Lizlin

HI Carla - were you asking about the pronunciation of NU? Exactly as it looks but with whatever intonation fits the occasion. Often a question - as in So what or as Zadit said.

5:44 pm

Lizlin

To rhyme with the beginning of noon - noo

5:45 pm

hokie carla

yeah, was wondering if it was noo or nyoo

5:45 pm

Lizlin

Definitely no y in it!

5:46 pm

Lizlin

it's one of those useful little words which don't really mean anything or can mean whatever.

5:46 pm

Lizlin

My grandparents used to use it.

5:46 pm

hokie carla

how's the weather down there?

5:47 pm

Lizlin

Really good here. It's been the best summer we've had in ages - so far! Still, it's storm season, so I'm sure that'll happen some time before summer ends.

5:48 pm

Shirlockc

stats for the lone r on the right?

5:48 pm

Lizlin

Not the same everywhere in Aus though. There's been flooding in the NW and I've heard of bush fires too.

5:50 pm

Lizlin

I heard there's flooding in California :(

5:51 pm

Shirlockc

finally NBT

5:51 pm

Lizlin

And of course, we heard all about that really big freeze

5:51 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I think that's what happens when you finally get rain after no rain forever

5:52 pm

Shirlockc

keef

5:52 pm
