mslars

nautilist usually is a word
2:28 am
Griffums

Urrgh blaze, I can almost see it
2:29 am
sprite

Retyped it 3 times, really :) But no luck.
2:29 am
Blaze

it sounds like you are telling some one they did something bad
2:30 am
sprite

With all the fish, you'd think we could use a nautilist.
2:30 am
Griffums

Sheesh, finally I stumbled on it
2:30 am

sounds like something santa would have......
2:31 am

2:54 am
nenaluli

whaddaya mean, already? how do you think I get started? I'm not a genius, getting 8 letter words just by glancing at the grid :)
2:55 am

I had to be taken by hand and led through yesterday's grid, so I am right with you :D
2:56 am
Blaze

sprite I don't believe it.....
2:56 am
nenaluli

I don't even have the stats. How many words start with A, E, etc.
2:57 am

Read up the log, you'll see. It was embarrassing... but heart warming as well, for everyone jumped to my rescue :)
2:57 am

3:28 am

9:15 am
Anj

Hi Swimmy - just back from the shops :)
9:16 am
joelgee

Like I know. Just lots of words. kind of quiet otherwise.
9:18 am
Dachef

I think the buzz today is something along the lines of "phew, what a difficult grid", "shall I or shall I not revert to the ol' A2Z", and "lets have a competition to see who can find the most obscure word ever." ;)
9:19 am
Ho Hum

I 2nd that Dachef!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank goodness this is on a Sunday and not a work day.
9:19 am
Anj

...i'm rapidly becoming a worshipper at the altar of "Why the h*ll won't it accept that?!"
9:20 am
joelgee

And a voice echoes from the heavens, "BECAUSE!"
9:21 am
Ho Hum

I haven't been babbling that long but this is definately the hardest one yet.
9:21 am
Anj

lol Joel - todays grid is brought to you by the word Ineffability! :)
9:23 am
joelgee

No words can express my reaction to that. On the other hand, I'm extremely effable.
9:24 am
Dachef

effable? Dunno about that, but i do seem to be muttering quite a few effs today.
9:25 am
speedfreak

The only thing I am seeing today is OOPS! That is not a valid word!!!

9:31 am
Poirot

I keep seeing words on the list that aren't in any of 4 online dictionaries I checked --( "slainte" - the other day as an example). Are there just words that aren't "words" on the list?
9:32 am

swmbo: nice you can play today but what a puzzle...getting lots of laughs from the other site Thank you;)

I am really having a lot of difficulty registering with the bbabblersanonymous site. Despite registering 2 days ago I am still waiting for a confirmation email.

the NA 7 word does that have to do with the sea/submarine or am I totally off base?
12:22 pm
lola100

Speed- sounds like opposite of good, ends in a vowel :)
12:22 pm

12:36 pm
JeeWhiz

1:21 pm
Griffums

Not just an eyelash, but the singular of the little hairs in your nose too. (Not that I know this from personal inspection.)
1:21 pm
baggo

joel look at the one letter that if you take the s off the other one will give you big points in that area...
1:21 pm
baggo

oooh speed yes of course...yummy and fresh pot is brewing at the moment...
1:22 pm

Those eyelashes are also in your lungs, and on plants..
1:22 pm

JW - we're out of fish right now, so take a clue - ci6/30 a microscopic hairlike process extending from the surface of a cell or unicellular organism

malt vinegar! I thought we only had that in the UK!
1:22 pm
joelgee

baggo--
I'm so confused.
1:23 pm
baggo

joel..did you get the plural??? if so take the s off of it. take the word and look at the point values on the letters near that e and see what could get you to 27..
1:23 pm
sherb

joel - if you added ci6/24's to a country, it would be ci6/27 ;)
1:24 pm
JeeWhiz

Hmmmm...thanks Sherb, hope I don't get of those hairs in my fish.
1:25 pm

me neither, gothic... if someone could give us a clue to smack us upside the head on the an 7/32 , it'd be appreciated :)
5:33 pm
TitianAngel

(I'm not here, I'm studying, really) If you take a word that starts with "san" and it means happy, calm, self confident etc and you take off the s, you'll get the an 7.
5:34 pm
TitianAngel

and I don't know how blantently cheating this is, but it's the n on the bottom line (since there are like 3 ways you could get an)
5:34 pm

angus isn't a valid word?
5:35 pm
LeslieAnn

aw crap, yeah that is a good clue i was working on the one up top :)
5:35 pm
TitianAngel

Angus doesn't mean anything unless it's a proper name or city, so... no.
5:35 pm
uhwebs

Angus is a type of cow.....
5:36 pm
uhwebs

I guess breeds of animals are proper names though...

TitianAngel

lol Leslie. I only got it because when I'm mad that a word doesn't exist I type it anyway but I missed the s key. Go figure, I have bizarre babble luck
5:37 pm

Angus is a type of cow because of angus texas I believe. Besides, that's still a proper name.

Anj - Paul was a little worried earlier when he put comp on and came into Babble. After checking stats he discovered he is now ABOVE me (yet hardly ever plays!) He told me to sit down and went to other side of (large) kitchen to tell me. After hearing my remarks about removing the egg-like parts of certain spherical body parts and unravelling them to shove in earholes (opposite earholes from the sides to which they are being unravelled) he was understandably nervous. My threats weren't directed at him though. ROFLOL.

8:23 pm

I would have gotten the in/6 and 7 a whole lot sooner if someone would've given the clue I just gave, rather than the definition of the word.
8:24 pm
TitianAngel

I'm still missing the two ta 6/18 and I feel hopeless, if you'd care to supply hints for those. Doesn't have to be obvious, I think midterm stress is making me blind ;-)
8:24 pm

take one of your ta 5/10 and make it plural

8:32 pm
Anj

jac, I hope you're not casting hispertions upon Paul there lol ;)
8:33 pm
ruffh2o

the 5/10 with an "s" goes with my first definition, yes

the second definition is for the other ta6/18
8:34 pm
Jacula

No, Anj. He's not done that yet, as far as I know. Though he might have done the night he texted me from work (a Cadbury's night) and said, 'Leave me some words to do!' I was tired, and so left him about 50 out of nearly 500. ROFLOL. I was cuddling my hot water bottle that night!
8:34 pm
Anj

LeslieAnn, the se5/12 is a chair or a car

The se6/18 - two of those, er, could be more than one american politician??
8:35 pm
Jacula

Anj! Now I'm looking for senators, and that is NOT in the grid.
8:36 pm
ruffh2o

well, it starts with those three letters...is a soundalike
8:36 pm
Anj

lol Jac, that's the word I am thinking about...sounds like but tnot the same. No a for a start and uses a 'latin' one vowel ending :)
8:36 pm

However, even though I wasn't looking for 's's' at the time, I got that word, so, thanks.:-)

Any hint on the "P" word?

Can someone give me a clue for the an 7/32 please
9:05 pm

not you - try hitting your f5 - it sounds like you're out of phase.

LeslieAnn - same as your il5/14 with a different ending
9:06 pm
TitianAngel

You're welcome dashen, glad it helped. Saphyre. If you know a word that begins "san" and means happy and calm, just take of the s at the beginning. And it's the a at the bottom, not the upper corner. What the heck, I'm missing qu 4/8 ? Grrr
9:07 pm
Anj

Titian, Sounds like Bridge over the River K... ;)
9:07 pm

Hrm I hate when I think I've tried a word but I haven't. Hurrah I AM done with the q.

lol hey that's a good clue Anj! If I hadn't known the word, that def would have gotten it for me.
9:09 pm
Anj

lol y/w Titian. I prefer the lateral thinking stuff to definitions. They're more fun :)

OK, i'm outta gas - time to sleep. Have fun - anyone need any last clue before I pump quality ZZZs?
9:10 pm
TitianAngel

haha yes, besides, no matter the level of being helpful, made up clues are more amusing. Sleep well, rest is a happy thing! (My brain is shot, don't ask)

9:14 pm
TitianAngel

Good night anj, snooze well.
9:17 pm
Anj

*this is a recorded message - Anj is actually asleep now but believes the ta6/18 is either plural of spoilt purity or someone who cures animal hides or is addicted to sun loungers*

*Abnormal service will be resumed in 7 hours*

*Thank you and goodnight :)*

9:32 pm
TitianAngel

Hi Charm, now I feel guilty for thinking, "Agh frustration, just leave" ;-)
9:34 pm

Hi, TAngel - guilt is overdone and overrated. You can always access brandyjack's famous 2nd letter list!
9:35 pm
TitianAngel

haha yeah I'm redoing it, I just feel silly for getting overzealous with my delete key
9:36 pm

Better than being overzealous with the 'send' button at work - I've gotten in trouble with that one!

Adam's mom - there are 2 si6/18 - which do you need?
9:37 pm
momofadam

I only have one on my list for si6/18 the other two I have for si are 4/4 and 5/10.
9:39 pm
Charm

Sorry, momofAdam - I was looking at the se6/18 above it.
SI6/18 - "Any of the minor woodland deities and companions of Dionysus, depicted on Greek vases as men with the tails, ears, and hooves of horses."
Christmas carol "Si**** Night, Holy Night." But change the last letter to a vowel.
9:42 pm
momofadam

Thank you Charm! One to go--ic5/14 and it is probably so easy that I just can't see it!
9:43 pm
TitianAngel

75 words to go... (sorry thinking aloud)
9:44 pm
Charm

IC5/10 - 2 defs: A sudden attack, blow, stroke, or seizure. OR The accent that falls on a stressed syllable in a line of scanned verse.
All I can think of is a RIC*** grin without the 'r'.
9:44 pm
TitianAngel

and ic 5/14 is not terribly easy. Think of the guy who flew too close to the sun but change "ar" to a consonant.
9:44 pm

Ah Charm's clue is better methinks

ut 5 I THOUGHT was only a French word, but I guess we stole it. In French it means useful. Thinks of a ut***** belt and then change the end.

Thank you! I completed my first puzzle!!!!!

As for ut5/10 - look at fu6/27 but remove the first letter.

AN7/32 - "Of, pertaining to, or resembling, a snake or serpent." Think of a FR. word for blood (which we use to mean coldblooded) and remove the initial 's.'
9:52 pm
TitianAngel

the san word is also a synonym for calm and happy (if you enjoy the thesaurus that may help)

10:10 pm
Charm

Linguistics. I think I remember that from my Eng. major days. Lots of Persian words in our current English. A friend of mine was (may even still be) prof. of eng/ling. at Duke.
10:12 pm
TitianAngel

Wow. Well, currently I'm taking into (which is easy except for remember which consonant sounds are which category) and semantics, which has little to do with words. But a prof at Duke is impressive.
10:14 pm
Charm

I think I took a couple of ling. classes, just to be in Julie's classes - she's a wonderful person. And it's interesting in its way . But that wasn't enough to convince me to major in it!
What school do you attend?
10:14 pm
TitianAngel

Okay I have 113 words, I think I will go for 125 and then I MUST MUST MUST do homework or I am going to fail. (And by fail I mean get below an A.)
10:15 pm
TitianAngel

Oh well do you remember a Noam Chomsky? I linked a comic related to him earlier today. I'm going to a state University :( Just transferred and am less than impressed with the school, but my two current profs are outstandingly brilliant.
10:17 pm
Charm

I know of NC. But I wasn't on much earlier today. As for the univ. - it all depends on what effort you put in to the whole process. I know enough people who you would never believe went to a 'good' school!
10:18 pm
TitianAngel

http://www.hoverkitty.net/gall ery/Moms-Collection-of-Family- Photos/aau?full=1

Well, it's sometimes overly liberal for my tastes (my US Ling class was horribly skewed towards "save the native american languages" and had little to do with anything else). PLus it's HUGE! (my last college was 1200 people lol and this one is 21000)
10:19 pm
It Girl

Charm, your an7 clue worked like a charm. Thanks!
10:20 pm
Charm

Since you & I seem to be the only ones on, and if we're not disturbing anyone, I, too, will reminisce. My high school graduating class had <200 people. On my first day at college, at 8:00a.m., freshly scrubbed & excited, I walked into intro chemistry. There were >250 people in just that class. Overwhelmed does not begin to describe my state of mind for the first 2-3 months.
10:21 pm
Charm

y/w, It Girl. Glad it wasn't too obscure - try to give enough info to get the word but not so much that people are rolling their eyes because it's SO obvious!
10:23 pm
TitianAngel

LOL! Oh empathetic hugs for you. At least my first class (ebio for majors, and I am not ebio major) of I believe 700 some odd people, was a freshman class. So I was older than all of them, plus I commute and there is a different attitude. But your poor thing, that would be so... intimidating.
10:26 pm
Charm

Oh, I wanted nothing more than to scurry back home to the little Georgia town I came from and enroll in the local comm. college. I was miserable my entire freshman year. But once I got beyond that, into smaller classses and seminars, it became more manageable. They should warn kids from small towns!
