BzznBea

plural of the fa5.20

8:18 am

rbud

oh, good, you got the new pup! What a cutie! â¤

8:18 am

Uneaixoise

Don't have the 5/20.....

8:18 am

BzznBea

fa5 is air circulator + hesitant sound

8:19 am

hokie carla

I just love it when I can only find one word on the opening tile. /s

8:19 am

welki

no anemones for us today

8:19 am

welki

yaum

8:20 am

welki

or yaums, either

8:20 am

hokie carla

nah, already tried that

8:20 am

hokie carla

oh, found 2 more finally. moving on.

8:20 am

rbud

I've been at it off and on since last night, and still only have one Y, haha. Now, since I'm using the list, it'll be my last few.

8:21 am

Uneaixoise

Tx bea!!

8:21 am

hokie carla

one set rhymes with the unaccepted noodles, rbud

8:21 am

BzznBea

yw

8:22 am

rbud

ahh, thanks!

8:24 am

rbud

wow, those s7's are an interesting pair! (where are those groans for the bad puns when ya need one, haha) [sub-thought - maybe TOO bad, eek!]

8:26 am

hokie carla

I think fu7 should be a word - those people who say "I'm just funnin' ya". and if you've never heard it that way, bless your heart. ðŸ¤£

8:27 am

hurshy

um, did anyone else put in the sweet potatoes and then find themselves totally unable to find any other Y words?

8:27 am

hokie carla

yes, I literally just talked about it ðŸ˜œ

8:27 am

hurshy

oh yes, i see people were just talking about it, sorry

8:27 am

rbud

(okay, technically, perhaps, only one of the s7's is a pair... I'll see myself out)

8:27 am

hokie carla

well, at 8:19

8:28 am

rbud

yep, hursh, that was the only one I had all night until hokie helped me out just now.

8:28 am

MollyL

The other s7 is going to make Nan shriek

8:28 am

hokie carla

so I guess it depends on your definition of "just" to know if I literally just did it or not

8:28 am

hurshy

sorry

8:29 am

hokie carla

no worries

8:30 am

hokie carla

I've been yelled at before for saying something just happened when apparently that is subjective

8:30 am

hokie carla

phantom funnel and tunnel

8:31 am

rbud

well, it did take me a few minutes to actually type the words in, though I got the hint (nearly) immediately, so does it count then or when accepted to the word list? Hmmm...

8:32 am

hokie carla

hmm indeed

8:33 am

MollyL

You've been yelled at? Here? No way. : D

8:33 am

hokie carla

all that to say I wasn't yelling at you, hurshy, just stating we were just talking about it.

8:33 am

hokie carla

no, it wasn't here, actually, but at my other place ðŸ˜

8:34 am

hurshy

regardless of yelling, i have an internal sense of annoyance with myself for not checking first

8:38 am

hurshy

oh look, i'm in the grid! cl6/33, that's me!

8:38 am

hokie carla

clufta?

8:39 am

MollyL

Yes, that is her Star Trek name.

8:39 am

hurshy

nope

8:39 am

hokie carla

oh, I see it now. that's me too.

8:42 am

hokie carla

I found one UT and that's it. are there weird UN words (as usual)?

8:42 am

hokie carla

nm

8:42 am

hurshy

there's the bone

8:42 am

hokie carla

only bone I've ever broken and I usually don't see it here

8:43 am

hurshy

i don't have the fourth one tho

8:43 am

hokie carla

unmat - what I have to do to winston all the time

8:43 am

hokie carla

oh, but that is so close to the PB

8:44 am

hurshy

yeah that kept making me think i could do unmet

8:44 am

hurshy

it is close to the PB??

8:44 am

hokie carla

well, it's the bottom u

8:45 am

hokie carla

that I didn't even see until I typed the word

8:45 am

hurshy

ah

8:45 am

rbud

those last two Y words are just like the noodle-y ones with a diff. last vowel - and I'm done, yay!!

8:46 am

hurshy

anyone else watch Mrs. Maisel and find it amusing that Amy Sherman-Palladino apparently thinks "why audition people? just use the actors you already know!"

8:46 am

hurshy

thanks rbud

8:46 am

hokie carla

thanks, rbud

8:46 am

hokie carla

well, I never watched GG so I don't really notice that. but joss whedon did that a lot too.

8:47 am

hurshy

i'm surprised you didn't watch GG

8:48 am

hokie carla

yeah, I don't know how I missed it and haven't ever gone to watch

8:48 am

hurshy

well you might want to try it while it's still easily streamable

8:48 am

rbud

yw. I don't watch Mrs. Maisel, but I don't have Amazon Prime, so there's that.

8:49 am

rbud

is that the only place to see it? I do hear a lot about it.

8:49 am

hokie carla

I know they're known for like their rapid-fire talking and that kind of bothers me

8:49 am

hurshy

yeah, i mean, if netflix or amz makes their own shows, they are only available on those platforms

8:49 am

hokie carla

yeah, it's a Prime show, so can only watch there. unless maybe you can buy DVDs

8:50 am

hurshy

it made me fall in love with Lenny Bruce, who i did not know about prior to watching

8:50 am

hokie carla

I had heard of him but that was it

8:51 am

hokie carla

obvi that's a mostly fictionalized version of him

8:51 am

rbud

my most recent British viewing experience was "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" on Netflix - liked it so much I watched it twice.

8:51 am

hurshy

anyone know what 7 i am missing? i have three that rhyme and the sc7/8

8:52 am

rbud

but that's just one movie, not a series

8:52 am

rbud

probably the evil sf7

8:52 am

hurshy

i liked that a lot too, rbud - then i had friends say "the book is so much better" so that's on my reading list now

8:52 am

hokie carla

I only have 2 7s that rhyme

8:52 am

hurshy

sf????

8:52 am

hurshy

this is april 2, not april 1

8:53 am

hokie carla

lol, I almost asked earlier the stats of the 2 s7's but never in my wildest imagination did I think SF.

8:53 am

LuvWordGames

there are 3 7's that rhyme

8:53 am

hurshy

thank goodness for morewords

8:53 am

hokie carla

yes, hurshy has them but I just got to 3rd row

8:53 am

hokie carla

now I have 3 that rhyme

8:54 am

rbud

that WAS a good for April 1, now that you mention it.

8:54 am

hokie carla

and apparently need SF7 and SC7. and will be going to a look-up thing for SF.

8:54 am

hurshy

sc7 *giggle* male body part

8:55 am

BzznBea

sc7 is a man bag

8:55 am

hokie carla

ah

8:55 am

hokie carla

GATBO

8:55 am

hurshy

two plurals for it, 8 and 6

8:56 am

rururocks

takes a lot of balls to clue that word though

8:56 am

rbud

I want to know how sc6 and sc8 can mean the exact sa4 thing, huh? Latin plurals have failed me...

8:56 am

hokie carla

I think the 6 is the "proper" one but the 8 is the english-ized one

8:57 am

hurshy

speaking of latin plurals, i learned that octopus comes from greek, not latin, which means octopi is not the right plural form, in greek it would be octopodes apparently

8:57 am

hokie carla

like plural medium can be media or mediums

8:58 am

hurshy

phantom: autumn

8:58 am

rbud

good point, hokie, thanks. And hursh, too. Food for thought. (and haha, ru!!)

8:59 am

hokie carla

I do need one more A. bea?

8:59 am

hokie carla

and of course that would bring ruru out of lurking ðŸ˜œ

9:00 am

rbud

maybe the an6? (the first one, add a vowel to the building addition)

9:00 am

hurshy

thanks rbud

9:00 am

hokie carla

that's it, thx!

9:00 am

ChampFit

Ooooh....thank you!

9:01 am

hokie carla

looks like the 5 is the US version

9:01 am

rbud

was a new one to me.

9:01 am

hokie carla

TIL

9:01 am

hurshy

also nobody chimed in to tell us what the fourth U is

9:02 am

hurshy

so if anyone knows

9:02 am

rururocks

there are five u's

9:02 am

hokie carla

not me

9:02 am

ChampFit

ut4/5

9:02 am

hokie carla

9:02 am

hokie carla

I have that one, but thx

9:02 am

rururocks

un4/6

9:02 am

hurshy

we didn't mean fourth as in the list order

9:03 am

hokie carla

ah, thanks, ruru

9:03 am

hurshy

ah thanks ruru

9:05 am

hokie carla

almost nunnery

9:06 am

hurshy

wow i see a LOT in the bee that use 6/7 but not pangram yet

9:07 am

hokie carla

I only have 12 words there, no pangram

9:07 am

hokie carla

oh, just found 6 more

9:08 am

hokie carla

and 3 more, incl the pangram

9:08 am

hurshy

i don't put in the ones i see because i don't have a subscription

9:08 am

hurshy

so i have to wait until i see the pangram or i will lose my chance to find it

9:09 am

hokie carla

you should talk to them and see what kind of sub deal they can give you

9:09 am

hokie carla

I def got a better deal when speaking to them

9:09 am

hokie carla

via chat

9:09 am

hurshy

nah, i'll just wait until i'm someday making enough money to support myself

9:10 am

hurshy

*knock on wood*

9:10 am

hurshy

*fingers crossed*

9:11 am

hokie carla

ugh, just saw the bottom N. I hate it when there's 3+ of one tile. so hard to find the words in the last one.

9:11 am

hokie carla

oh, but there's one

9:11 am

hokie carla

and the other

9:12 am

hokie carla

HOET and bottom row gray!

9:14 am

rururocks

what's TIL hokie?

9:14 am

hokie carla

today I learned

9:14 am

hurshy

Today I Learned

9:14 am

rururocks

oh jeezus

9:14 am

hurshy

it's a subreddit

9:14 am

hokie carla

some people say "I was today years old when I learned". would you rather see that?

9:15 am

Shirlockc

it's a fun subreddit

9:15 am

rururocks

i'd rather see the spelled out words honestly

9:16 am

hokie carla

I could say today I learned ruru hates acronyms, but that's not accurate.

9:19 am

Shirlockc

ooooo a body part is the 8

9:19 am

rururocks

did it stick out at you shir?

9:19 am

hokie carla

lol, yeah, you missed some good clues and ruru even started a pun thread but he got the shaft, no one continued

9:20 am

rururocks

got the shaft :D

9:20 am

hokie carla

yes, pun intended

9:21 am

Shirlockc

i missed another pun thread?! i got stiffed

9:21 am

hokie carla

15 left, 8 are 4's. guess I will look for those

9:21 am

rururocks

they're hard to follow sometimes shirl

9:22 am

rururocks

although some people need additional prodding

9:23 am

Shirlockc

i deserve to be pu-nis-ed

9:24 am

hokie carla

was about to say that's a mo4-er and realized mo4 was in the grid

9:26 am

hokie carla

well, 4 of my 4's were m's. did I even try there on the 1st pass.

9:32 am

rururocks

thanks for the sf 7.. finally got it

9:32 am

hokie carla

9 left - 4 4's and 5 5's

9:33 am

hokie carla

really, you just monkeyed a 7 letter word like that without knowing the points?

9:33 am

rururocks

we've had it before

9:34 am

hokie carla

I was thinking we had but didn't remember anything other than SF

9:35 am

hokie carla

9:45 am

hokie carla

10:04 am

cybernan

don't even know that one lindy -- something to do with stops?

10:06 am

aslindy

The sf word I know is sfortzando, which means suddenly forceful. The sf in today's grid is an art term.

10:08 am

cybernan

a new one - at least spelled that way - for me

10:15 am

cybernan

10:39 am

melonheadjujube

10:39 am

melonheadjujube

I used my etymological brain.

10:40 am

cybernan

grats, melon -- do you have a clue for it?

10:40 am

melonheadjujube

nbt, nbs, > halfway and all â‰¥ 7 letters. Mediocrity attained!

10:41 am

melonheadjujube

sf is the prefix, then think what volatile compounds do.

10:41 am

melonheadjujube

followed by a typical Italian suffix.

10:41 am

cybernan

explode? combust?

10:42 am

melonheadjujube

what you might inhale, minys a letter. so, prefix-root-suffix is 2-3-2

10:42 am

melonheadjujube

minus

10:43 am

Uneaixoise

An5/20?

10:44 am

Uneaixoise

10:45 am

10:51 am

melonheadjujube

april98, I love that clue!

10:51 am

cybernan

certainly not english

10:51 am

melonheadjujube

my bad, s was the prefix followed bu the inhalant minus a vowel.

10:52 am

melonheadjujube

It is Italian.

10:52 am

cybernan

but brings to mind Van Gogh's olive grove paintings

10:53 am

Uneaixoise

Good lord. That Putin should be taken out and shot with balls of his own excrement. I'm just back from volunteering at a reception centre for Ukrainian nationals seeking refuge in this country. Some people with just the clothes on their backs, their homes reduced to rubble. They are scared, bewildered, exhausted and homeless. Mostly women and children. All of them hollow-eyed.It's just horrific.

1:55 pm

dan2bit

thank you for doing that Soodle - I could not agree more

1:56 pm

Soodle

As a parent, as you are, Dan, it is beyond belief the trauma these lovely people have been through.

1:58 pm

dan2bit

about 5 years ago one of the software teams I worked with was a small team based in Lviv. One we sponsored for US visa, one has been posting from there - he has sent his family to Poland, one confirmed to have been killed by a Russian bomb, and one I have no idea...

1:58 pm

dan2bit

it is all so horrifying

2:01 pm

Soodle

I was at a ferryport in Wexford today, greeting refugees who have come here from France. So their journey would have taken days, if not weeks. Many had pets with them. The UK are not taking any refugees - damn Brexit, so, to date, approx 10,000 Ukrainians have arrived here. In fairness to the Irish Govt, they are being housed and given social security numbers, and a lot of practical help. Putin should be shown photographs of these people. Bastard.

2:04 pm

dan2bit

I am glad you were able to help them get help, and see a friendly face
