8:34 am

hokie carla

who is slurring ethan? 😜

8:36 am

welki

*sigh*

8:37 am

Kaplan the Magne

Ethan is my lovely son in law. So nobody, I hope. It's all in the j words.

8:37 am

hokie carla

do I need to go left or right on that N? not seeing it, even with the hint.

8:37 am

hokie carla

which ones? I thought you were referring to the d ones.

8:38 am

welki

me too - not that we need to be reminded again.

8:39 am

hokie carla

well the j words I don't know have a normal definition and it doesn't say they are slurs.

8:39 am

hokie carla

let's get back to that no6...😁

8:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

Oh yeah I forgot about the d ones. The two are j's.

8:40 am

welki

i've never heard or read them as slurs - pronunciation is different

8:40 am

rururocks

there are no slur j words

8:41 am

Kaplan the Magne

ja4 hits two groups at once. Hint. WWII, and Long Island, NY

8:41 am

Kaplan the Magne

8:41 am

hokie carla

ja4 isn't accepted

8:41 am

rururocks

japs isn't allowed

8:41 am

rururocks

only the da4 and 5 are

8:41 am

Kaplan the Magne

ah, good Enable!

8:42 am

welki

oh fer pete's sakes - now we're critiquing the layout of the grid, not the accepted words. come on, kap, give it a rest already, please

8:42 am

Sam

ja4/5 is intransitive verb
To joke or quip.
To make sport of.

8:42 am

Kaplan the Magne

See, if Enable can do it for some why not the rest? I stand corrected.

8:42 am

rururocks

I ja4 around here quite a lot

8:43 am

welki

yes, yes you do, ru

8:43 am

hokie carla

hokie carla

ruru, I need SSS U OO N S

8:43 am

hokie carla

1-3-3-1. ooh, a palindrome .

8:45 am

rururocks

this is an annoying grid with so many vowels

8:45 am

hokie carla

ooh, found my bottom S

8:46 am

hokie carla

In general I have found this to be an easy grid. esp. compared to the last 2.

8:46 am

hokie carla

found my U

8:46 am

hokie carla

so now I know I what I need from the last 3 tiles

8:47 am

8:47 am

welki

nonsag - what i look for in a bra

8:48 am

rururocks

8:48 am

welki

you're welcome - it could be a titilating conversation

8:49 am

hokie carla

ruru is a real boob

8:49 am

welki

lunch at hooters, folks!

8:49 am

rururocks

well that's a tit for tat comment

8:49 am

welki

8:50 am

rururocks

hokie had to get that comment off her chest

8:51 am

hokie carla

8:51 am

rururocks

og is relating to 8

8:52 am

rururocks

a group of 8 if you will

8:52 am

hokie carla

I saw someone mentioned numbers but I sure can't think of a G in that regard

8:52 am

welki

a no6 is what i'd do with my elbow to you to get you to notice ru staring into the corsetorium

8:53 am

dan2bit

8:55 am

dan2bit

I hope you didn't bet any buxom that, ruru

8:55 am

hokie carla

8:55 am

aslindy

9:01 am

hokie carla

9:02 am

hokie carla

9:03 am

hokie carla

I like how ruru just casually says it's a group of 8. anyhoo, TADA.

9:03 am

rururocks

9:03 am

rururocks

9:04 am

hokie carla
