Morning, Welki. All settled in after the move?
7:17 am
welki
i wouldn't call it 'settled,' but we're all in. we still have to rearrange, throw away and clean, but there'll be time for all of that when the weather turns
7:18 am
welki
thanks for asking :)
7:18 am
welki
and on your side, how's your mom?
7:20 am
BzznBea
She's better. On home O2 now. And still flying high with steroids. Still have some tests we need to have done. And she needs to put on about 15 pounds, but we are working on that.
7:22 am
BzznBea
Thanks for asking.
7:23 am
welki
i'm happy to hear she's doing better. with the hot weather, i'm sure her appetite isn't the best, so you probably have your work cut out for you, creating high calorie mini-meals. as for me, i can't ever (like EVER) imagine a doc telling me to gain weight - i'd probably pass out
7:23 am
mattygroves
May I please have a gentle nudge on the et7?

8:06 am
ItalianGreyhound
they say the buildings been sinking for years
8:07 am
HarryHood
in an area with a high water table and sandy soil, I guess rising sea levels will have an effect. Which doesn't bode well for many shoreline high-rises
8:07 am
HarryHood
but thats' all conjecture
8:07 am
Shirlockc
makes you wonder about the other buildings in the area
8:09 am

8:37 am
hokie carla
not getting ve6 or a7 smart pilot
8:37 am
hurshy
that's ai7 and it's a compound word
8:37 am
BzznBea
That a7 is a compound, Carla
8:37 am
hurshy
ve6 relates to the french word for selling
8:39 am
hokie carla

8:41 am
BzznBea
top right
8:42 am
hurshy
you may have missed where i mentioned it is ai7
8:42 am
BzznBea
There is an echo in here.
8:42 am
hokie carla
I assumed ai based on the other clues, but both A's have an i next to them.
8:43 am
hurshy
i was just saying that based on your reference to it still being a7 rather than ai7, not cause it would tell which A it was from
8:43 am
MLFAN17
so is it ai7?
8:43 am
ItalianGreyhound
AB = a 5/12 word in the grid and a smart pilot is aI------
8:44 am

abairwise
8:44 am
hokie carla
I found the AB
8:44 am
ItalianGreyhound
and there it is
8:44 am
hurshy
IG just gave two clues for two a7 words, there
8:44 am
hokie carla
if you were cluing it for me
8:45 am
hokie carla
are you saying those 2 are related?
8:45 am
hurshy
not all one clue
8:45 am
hurshy
oh, we're all of a muddle
8:45 am
ItalianGreyhound
Im lost
8:45 am
hurshy
the two a7s are not related other than by both starting with that A
8:45 am
BzznBea
No, they are not, Carla.
8:45 am
BzznBea
Im not sure where IG is getting the AB part of that.
8:45 am
hurshy
the ab7 is another a7 word
8:46 am
ItalianGreyhound
because its there
8:46 am
hokie carla
what is the points for the ai7?
8:46 am
MLFAN17
no idea on that clue
8:46 am
hurshy
IG, here's a tip, you have to at least separate two clues with a comma or something if you want to clue both, lol
8:46 am
MLFAN17
okay so is it AB or AI???
8:46 am
ItalianGreyhound
good bye
8:47 am
BzznBea
It is ai7.44, mlf
8:47 am
hurshy
there are TWO a7 words, IG attempted to clue both in one message, ab7 and ai7, there are both, they both come from the top right A
8:47 am
hokie carla
thanks for trying, IG, I'm just slow today
8:47 am
MLFAN17
hokie ends in wi
8:47 am
hurshy
there could be more for all i know but those are the two a7 under discussion
8:48 am
BzznBea
You want to just spell it out, mlf?
8:48 am
hokie carla

MLFAN17

8:59 am
hokie carla

9:00 am
hurshy
the 10s and their 9 are normal words btw, i'm itching to clue but will refrain
9:00 am
hokie carla
yeah, it was a bit confusing for a minute, scrabbler
9:00 am
hokie carla

9:10 am
BzznBea

hurshy

9:58 am
HarryHood
is it the last 4 of hurshy's ssn?
9:59 am
hurshy
it's how many more words you need by length
9:59 am
hurshy
she needs 5 fours, 8 each of fives and sixes, and 2 sevens
9:59 am
HarryHood
oh wow - I'm very far behind :)
9:59 am
hurshy
like with decimals, if you have zeroes at the end you can just drop them.
10:00 am
hokie carla
sometimes moo and I would say 5-8-8-2-0-0-0, but hurshy says no
10:00 am
HarryHood
unless they are significant
10:00 am
hurshy
well, i always favor brevity
10:00 am

hokie carla
there's a Hood Ice Cream fortune?
10:02 am
HarryHood
well - I'm the spiritual heir.
10:02 am
hurshy
i sort of figure any large company has a fortune in it somewhere
10:02 am
hokie carla
I still don't know why reair isn't a word
10:02 am
HarryHood
I think htey've been bought out.
10:03 am
hurshy

10:09 am
HarryHood

10:09 am
HarryHood
cause of the element
10:10 am
hokie carla
well, now that I see it's a chemistry word, it is believable
10:10 am
hokie carla
of course my i was a regular word, but it is backward
10:12 am
HarryHood
50 to go. later all.

Brainiac not a word? Seriously?
10:28 am
Shirlockc
is the in8 off the previous in6?
10:29 am
MollyL
Brainiac is a word for a fictional character, a supervillain that appears in comic books published by DC Comics. That led to the slang use of the word. Not something the Enable nerds would allow.
10:31 am
MollyL
Yes, morewords shows that the in8 is off the previous in6

11:13 am
cybernan
after reading the chat I see that my missing 8 is the in. There must be more than one in 6 though because there is no way to extend the one I have
11:13 am
rururocks
upscale no matter how you slice it I guess

why doesnt the grid have a br8?
11:28 am
cybernan
not a real word, mlf
11:28 am
MLFAN17
it ends in c?
11:29 am
dcseain
it's generally considered derogatory
11:29 am
MLFAN17
true dc but that doesnt mean its not a real word
11:29 am
dcseain
derogatory terms are generally not allowed in word games.
11:30 am
hokie carla
not true here
11:30 am
MLFAN17
point taken
11:30 am
hokie carla
and seain, you get the tiara today
11:30 am
dcseain
yeah, ENABLE is weird with its words.
11:31 am
dcseain
ve4 it's what's happening.
11:31 am
hokie carla
and we're talking braniac? would never think of that as derogatory
11:31 am
MLFAN17
exactly hokie
11:32 am
dcseain
where i grew up, best case it was ironic.
11:32 am
MLFAN17
91 words lef
11:33 am
hokie carla
I would be flattered if someone called me that
11:34 am
MLFAN17
yeah its not exactly a bad word or an insult
11:36 am
MLFAN17
i have called my husband by that word before
11:36 am
Shirlockc
FW! last one was the ca6 that rhymes with the space probe
11:36 am
dcseain
yay shirl!
11:36 am
hokie carla
nice! well done.
11:36 am
cybernan
I think it was considered derogatory because it implied that the person was so smart, he/she was a social misfit
11:37 am
MLFAN17
they usually are social misfits
11:37 am
hokie carla
I guess along the same lines as nerd, dweeb, geek, but seems less so to me
11:37 am
MLFAN17
the thumb up is for shirl
11:37 am
MLFAN17
another name for them yes hokie
11:38 am
cybernan
grats shirl
11:38 am
Shirlockc
i hope i'm smart and i own the social misfit thing
11:38 am
hokie carla
have made it down to 10 - BBB D E NNN TT
11:39 am
MLFAN17
does the hi 7 go with the longer hi words?
11:39 am
MLFAN17
ty cyber
11:40 am
cybernan
hi 9-10-10 sleep through a season like bears
11:42 am
hokie carla
the 7 is a plural for the sterile offspring of a male horse and female donkey
11:44 am
cybernan
can't think any more, time to list
11:44 am
hokie carla
somehow different than a mule
11:47 am
MollyL
I agree with Seain, brainiac is derogatory. It implies someone is showing off.
11:52 am
Vicuna
A mule is offspring of a female horse and male donkey.
11:53 am
Vicuna
Like our Babble friends tigon and liger are different.
11:54 am
MLFAN17
ty for the hi 7 new one to me
11:54 am
hokie carla
well, thought maybe that but merriam webster says for mule - especially: offspring of male donkey and mare
11:55 am
MLFAN17
but some do show off how smart the are or think they are
11:55 am
MLFAN17
i did a google search and the word came up
11:55 am
hokie carla
funny, molly. asked my message board people and all the ones from the DC area said derogatory and the others not from there agreed with me
11:56 am
hokie carla
so I'm declaring it a regional thing
11:56 am
dcseain
yeah, so maybe it's a DC thing, being from here.
11:56 am
Vicuna
Hokie, re the mule, that is not a contradiction. Merriam Webster is saying the same thing,
11:57 am
MLFAN17
hokie i am from that area and i dont think it is but i think it depends on who you talk to and how it is used based on the person or people
12:00 pm
Vicuna
*sigh* Sorry.
12:01 pm
hokie carla
LOL, happens to all of us. too bad it wasn't one of my 10. :D
12:01 pm
Vicuna
Yeah, not a very useful one for anyone, probably.
12:02 pm
MollyL
Your message board people?
12:06 pm
hokie carla
yes, I've mentioned before I've been part of a VT message board group for like over 20 years
12:09 pm
hokie carla
that is how I found babble back in the day
12:14 pm
dcseain
a friend pointed me at Babble back in 2005.
12:16 pm
bichon
same here
12:17 pm
Vicuna
Looks like hokie beat me to Babble by 9 days. =)
There was a little article about it somewhere (which my husband saw and mentioned to me), and I think there was a whole influx of us right around that time when people saw the article and told people who told people...
12:17 pm
hokie carla
I was looking at the chat from around then and it's funny all the people with hokie in their names - those are all people from the message board and I'm the only one left.
12:18 pm
hokie carla
yes, vicuna, I believe someone in my group saw that article and shared it and that's how I ended up here.
12:19 pm
hokie carla
well, maybe not the chat, but the player list from around then had a lot of hokies
12:21 pm
bichon
There was an article about Babble?
12:22 pm
hokie carla
yeah
12:24 pm
bichon
Is it obtainable?
12:26 pm
hokie carla
not sure, will try to find
12:26 pm
hokie carla
will be hard with the babbel language thing. I'm sure that will be in all the results
12:32 pm

I couldn't find a definition for the second ca6/21 in the list, but it looks like an alternate spelling of a Scottish word for clever.
5:11 pm
MLFAN17
i got the scottish word from google
5:11 pm
MollyL
Casino \Ca*si"no\, n.; pl. E. Casinos, It. Casini. [It. casino, dim. of casa house, fr. L. casa cottage. Cf. Cassing.]A small country house.
