7:11 am

mattygroves

I'm going to kick myself, I suspect, when I finally find that bad boy

7:12 am

ChampFit

it's twisty. great clue, teach.

7:17 am

mattygroves

Nope, not seeing it. Maybe I'll see it later when after a break

7:19 am

The singular can be called a compound. First work "non pro" and the second a unit of measurement,

mattygroves

Yep, I am kicking myself

If I'd looked for the letters, I wouldn't have gotten it. Took a stab at the meaning. Too twisty!

7:21 am

mattygroves

If I hadn't insisted in my head of pronouncing the first four letters as the first part of 'chute, I'd have had more luck, I suspect

Judi

Hiyas, kiddos!

7:59 am

Judi

Woof. Chunky grid today.

8:12 am

Judi

Everyone has dived to the bottom to search for words.

8:12 am

rururocks

Judi do you recommend weight watchers for the grid?

8:13 am

Judi

Might be a good idea, Ru.

8:15 am

Judi

I have 4 boxes blacked out.

8:19 am

rururocks

Uh huh

8:20 am

Judi

Some things you just can't make up. Got a bulletin here at the police station this a.m. Missing 17 year old male from a nearby town. Name: Jihad Islam Mohammed.

8:21 am

rururocks

Who reported it? His sister Fatwa?

8:22 am

Judi

Ha! His mother - who had a very American name.

8:22 am

Judi

Either he chose the name himself, or his father named him. How brainless. Let's name the kid so he gets put on every watch list and no-fly list on the planet.

8:23 am

rururocks

Yes he might be stuck at the TSA right now

8:24 am

Judi

He has since been found, however, it was reported that he had taken an unknown drug and was "in an altered mental state".

8:29 am

bichon

What are we talkiing about now?

8:29 am

Judi

In all fairness, until I've had my coffee, I'm in an altered mental state.

10:51 am

hurshy

the spellings of a sort of insulting term for a person

10:54 am

mattygroves

Have them now, thank to you - thanks (initially looked for the one that tickled me when I learned German - it means 'jewellry' in German. Not quite so polite in Yiddish)

10:54 am

mattygroves

Also found a word with the same starting three letters that is a phoneme in English (upside down e, I think)

I think warboat should be a word -- if you can have a warship -- why not?

1:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

a boat, generally speaking, is small enough to be carried aboard a larger vessel, and a vessel large enough to carry a smaller one is a ship.

1:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

too small for war use, except for a lifeboat, in the strict sense

1:10 pm

cybernan

yeah -- well that is true, but enable takes no mind of anything else that makes sense.

I don't try to finish the grids anymore; too much other things going on (or going wrong) to worry about finishing the grid.

8:40 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I don't finish that many

8:40 pm

IDK, mool; if I see you here, you often finish the moderate sized grids I think

8:42 pm

monkeyed based on the clue for the arabian ruler/s too, thanks!

8:45 pm

(here I am, an old RN, & I can't even think of another word for a bruise that starts with an E!)

8:46 pm

how about pulmonary ed***

8:47 pm

firefly779

i guess it isn't exactly a bruise but somehow I figured it out lol

8:48 pm

Nef

Thank YOU firefly! I would never have thought of that myself!

8:48 pm

firefly779

my pleasure

8:50 pm

Nef

(I was thinking contusions, scrapes abrasions, etc. To me, ed5 means fluid retention, heart failure, pulmonary ed5; increased intracranial pressures, etc.

8:51 pm

firefly779

you're right, and I have no idea how I figured it out lol

8:54 pm

Nef

Wow, firefly; I just read your story. I'm glad you had good news in January!

8:54 pm

moolingwa

sorry about that nef, trying to watch hockey at the same time
