Jacula

None of the words in the Babble dictionary are not real words,. They once were, even in the mispellings, because language changes over time. However, the dictionary hasn't caught up with more modern times and so doesn't accept things like email, spam etc.

12:25 am

Gillie

The Enable dictionary was created specifically as a list of words for words games, and was not well checked. I'm certain that some of the words are proper nouns, and some seem likely to be typos of some sort.

12:26 am

EllJay

I stand corrected :)

12:26 am

Gillie

Even printed dictionaries have been known to contain non-words (at least one - "dord").

12:26 am

EllJay

Actually I'm sitting.

12:29 am

rbud

makes me wonder how long the slang short term for tr**onometry has been around - doesn't seem like a "real" word to me.

12:30 am

Gillie

About as long as there have been classes in it, I would guess. Students love abbreviations.

12:30 am

jessmom

da7

12:32 am

rbud

and also, I've noticed "'evite" is acceptable - how so, if email isn't?

12:33 am

Gillie

It's a verb, meaning to avoid or shun.

12:33 am

Gillie

(archaic)

12:34 am

jessmom

cu7

12:34 am

rbud

must be, I've never seen it in all my years of reading.

12:34 am

rbud

must be archaic, I mean.

12:40 am

SamanthaJoy

They're telling me that 'cringy' isn't a word, like they're just expecting me to forget all of my teenage years.

12:42 am

Gillie

I know - I think I've tried it twice. But, now you've given me st7.

12:42 am

Gillie

(x 2, I mean)

12:43 am

rururocks

finished

12:44 am

rururocks

good night all and have fun

12:45 am

Jacula

Fireworks! *~*~*~* Can't believe tha my last word found was co4.5 - metal money. Must be due to that 2020 fact of not having been allowed to use or touch that for so long now.

12:46 am

rbud

well, congrats and g'nite to you both! :)

1:04 am

rbud

oh, really? now that bit of slang is also a word? I give up, haha... (and here I was still looking for co + behaved to make an 8. finally figured out it's really a 7)

1:07 am

ursh

haha me too rbud - finally found the co8 which is also slang i think

1:08 am

ursh

oh haha I see you just said it

1:16 am

rbud

yep - but that was before I knew what it was, at least. :D

1:21 am

rbud

as9 is definitely not one likely to be monkeyed - I had to cheat and check lickety, couldn't stand it any longer, haha. Never heard of it.

1:22 am

ursh

me too - then had to find it on more words - took me a good while :)

1:43 am

ursh

FW - not an easy grid for me

1:49 am

rbud

co8! ;p

Name our Babble Pirate Queen in todays grid

7:18 am

MollyL

Oh dear. *Prepares for complaints about the c word*

7:46 am

BzznBea

I think they would be complaining about how hard the C words are today.

7:48 am

mattygroves

I'd sooner complain about that. When it comes to 'dirty words' in the grid, I really don't care. When the word is out of context, just part of a word list of words that (mostly) exist, it is, to me, stripped of its offensive meaning. Words are only offensive because society says they are (and so they're used that way) - if the cu4 were expunged from dictionaries and from our memories, some other word would arise (or change its meaning) to take its place.

7:49 am

mattygroves

Me, I'm still looking for the co8

7:50 am

BzznBea

Wehn you get that co8, matty, we will tell you co8.

7:50 am

dan2bit

apparently co8 can not be singular

7:50 am

dan2bit

morning all!

8:03 am

MollyL

Very good points Matty.

8:03 am

A*n*i*t*a

toned

8:04 am

MollyL

There is some very misleading chat earlier which looks like the co8 is co + behaved. It is not.

8:04 am

MollyL

Anita must be exercising
: D

8:05 am

A*n*i*t*a

lol molly sorry wrong box!

8:08 am

mattygroves

And thanks for the co8 - got it now!

8:16 am

MollyL

This grid has some twisty ass words in it. My eyeballs are sore.
: D

8:28 am

Kaplan the Magne

My other word that should not be deleted from all language, but from the daily grid. Imagine that there is a women who plays who was a victim of domestic violence and was called a ***. So far, I am for taking out the n word and the j word, and a few others, out of respect for game players.

8:30 am

MollyL

Here is how much COVID sucks. The Rockettes have cancelled their Christmas Spectacular for the first time in 87 years. : (

8:32 am

Kaplan the Magne

what happened 87 years ago. Ah, yes- 1933.

8:33 am

MollyL

Nothing happened. They have never cancelled in 87 years. The first show was in 1933.

8:36 am

MollyL

The Rose Parade is also cancelled. Happy New Year from COVID.

8:36 am

Kaplan the Magne

Ah. Your statement was ambiguous. For the first time in its 87 year history. The Ziegfeld girls and the Flora Dora girls predated the Rockets? I have to brush up.

8:36 am

Kaplan the Magne

rockettes

8:37 am

MollyL

And no traditional Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. It will "be replaced by a virtual event". Happy Thanksgiving from COVID.

8:38 am

MollyL

Pardon me for my incorrect wording about the Rockettes show.

8:39 am

11:05 am

hokie carla

still far away though and then there's that

11:08 am

hokie carla

mr. homie watches this couple on YT that travel the world in their sailboat, and they had been visiting CO when everything went down. They were stuck in Fiji while their sailboat was on another island. Or maybe it was on Fiji. Anyhoo, they just got back to it and had to do a 3 week quarantine. 2wks in one place and 1 in another.

11:08 am

Uneaixoise

Tx for as9!!

11:08 am

moolingwa

yeah, that sounds like lots of fun

11:09 am

hokie carla

everyone keeps saying that - I must've missed that clue

11:09 am

moolingwa

me too, though that's the first time I've seen it mentioned :)

11:09 am

moolingwa

50 to go

11:10 am

hokie carla

is it related to stuff you wipe on your face for ac4?

11:10 am

MollyL

YT = You Tube. That one took me a while.

11:10 am

hokie carla

sorry. I knew moo would know it. :D

11:10 am

moolingwa

yeah, courtesy of my 9 year old

11:11 am

MollyL

I read some reviews of the book you mentioned Carla. I'm not sure I would like it. It sounds a little soap opera-ish to me.

11:12 am

hokie carla

I still think cringy is a word

11:12 am

moolingwa

funny, was just typing that

11:13 am

hokie carla

interesting, Molly. I didn't really think that. but I did watch 4 soap operas when I was a kid, so... I actually usually read mysteries so it was a departure, but I loved it.

11:13 am

hokie carla

Molly, also check out Sorry I Missed You. I think I mentioned that the other day.

11:15 am

hokie carla

I just destroyed those i's! :D

11:15 am

moolingwa

oh yeah, had those ones :) 36 to go

11:15 am

11:27 am

MollyL

No

11:28 am

hokie carla

ah, just saw the last one, thx

11:28 am

hokie carla

not the way I'd spell that word so I usually miss it

11:28 am

hokie carla

now just need 1 A to finish off the 5th col

11:31 am

moolingwa

bouncing between calls here

11:31 am

MollyL

It's so thrilling. We get every little nuance of Carla's journey through the grid.

11:31 am

hokie carla

well, I was hoping someone would offer my missing A, but bea isn't here

11:32 am

moolingwa

which a?

11:32 am

hokie carla

last col

11:32 am

moolingwa

11:33 am

Haz1558

How about ac7/36 - incorporate an island.

11:34 am

12:47 pm

hokie carla

12:50 pm

moolingwa

I've considered it, but chickened out

12:50 pm

moolingwa

my wife is better at the detail things :)

12:51 pm

hokie carla

I gave mr. homie one last week but just used clippers so that was easy. I used to cut the boys' hair with scissors with they were younger after they both got horrible cuts at a kid's salon.

12:53 pm

hokie carla

still not seeing any new words after my break.

12:55 pm

hokie carla

1:19 pm

hokie carla

1:20 pm

Carla - I feel your pain. My Mam died June last year. I donâ€™t think she would have coped well with Covid. Meanwhile - Puppy Max had chewed my TV remote, multiple shoes/sandals & was having a good old gnaw on my handbag till I stopped him.

3:15 pm

hokie carla

yeah, my MIL died last fall and my SIL keeps saying how glad she wasn't here for the pandemic. My dad died at end of Aug this year and it was a pain trying to get care and then no funeral.

3:16 pm

hokie carla

and then just trying to keep them from catching it

3:16 pm

moolingwa

HarryHood

HarryHood

3:22 pm

hokie carla

3:22 pm

HarryHood

3:25 pm

moolingwa

woot

3:25 pm

hokie carla

well, the ar7, bichon is a noun form of an adj. in the grid. I had tried that several times with another last letter

3:25 pm

moolingwa

looked up at the wrong time...thx

3:26 pm

hokie carla

sorry :D. and bichon probably left and will ask again in a little while.

3:26 pm

moolingwa

not your fault, I could turn off chat :)

3:26 pm

moolingwa

the risks I take :)

3:27 pm

moolingwa

3:28 pm
