zo6 ... sounds like opp of hard and the end of a porky

4:53 pm

Shirlockc

and there was no way i was going to get that! thx rolin

4:54 pm

rolin

i had to look it up...know idea what it it

4:54 pm

hokie carla

I had to look it up too, would never have monkeyed it. it's a plump woman or person. says slang, but I don't know where or when this was slang.

5:29 pm

mael

it's weird, I always thought the word was zA6, not zo6

5:31 pm

hokie carla

I think that was listed in the dictionary link as an alt sp

5:59 pm

hurshy

someone earlier said it was yiddish slang

6:00 pm

hurshy

if the initial vowel sound is "ah" then it makes sense how people whose first language wasn't english might have spelled with with either an a or an o

6:08 pm

mkg

it is not yiddish slang. it is a yiddish word. used all the time by us yiddish speakers.

6:09 pm

mkg

and it is always spelled with a Z as the first letter because that is how it is pronounced.

6:20 pm

hurshy

no, i'm saying why it would have the spellings za and zo

6:21 pm

hokie carla

I don't think anyone disputed the z

6:21 pm

hokie carla

and the dictionary link says slang

6:21 pm

hurshy

so i guess i combined the yiddish that you said, with the slang that the dictionary said, but, perhaps the dictionary is inaccurate

6:25 pm

hurshy

come to think of it, i have really no idea what makes a word slang or not slang

6:34 pm

mkg

the slang from it is "zaf".people will use that term to refer to someone who is chubby. she is really zaf. or "boy has Jane become Zaf!"

6:42 pm

penquis

6:42 pm

can anybody clue the 2nd ri6/27 (before the ri4/4)

8:29 pm

penquis

believe it or not....with a different third letter....

8:30 pm

penquis

or is it the one that just adds a consonant to the previous re 5?...

8:30 pm

penquis

i think the second clue is for the second re 6/27...

8:31 pm

penquis

sorry.....i think the first clue is the second RI 6 that you want....

8:31 pm

dan2bit

I got it - director Scott

8:31 pm

penquis

i was counting an RE with the same stats...

8:32 pm

hokie carla

and can't get the bingo

9:13 pm

penquis

it took me a long time to get the bingo...the i and the z were hard and yet after i found them, i wondered what took me so long...

9:16 pm

hurshy

i just can't stop thinking about how quickly England got things moving when they really had to rev up for war with Hitler...

9:18 pm

hurshy

pretty impressive how everyone did their bit to get factories producing what was needed and all that

9:18 pm

penquis

yes, quite....

9:18 pm

hurshy

i just think hokie should be thinking about it too

9:20 pm

penquis

well i am heading out....goodnight all....

9:26 pm

hokie carla

lol, I have moved on to tomorrow's crossword.

9:26 pm

hokie carla

I have what I think you're saying, hurshy

9:31 pm

hurshy

well that's pangram

9:31 pm

hurshy

is pangram not what you meant by "bingo"?

9:32 pm

hurshy

or did you get it after you were talking about it

9:34 pm

hokie carla

no, there's a bingo when you find a word with each letter. I currently don't have a Z or E word

11:38 pm

Jacula

hurshy - You must have an account as you've been here since 2005. lol

11:39 pm

mymuseisme

do you want a hint Carla?

11:41 pm

Jacula

Or did Jamie give you a dispensation, Hursh?

11:42 pm

Jacula

Not long to go to the flip, but I can give clues if anyone wants anything last minute.

11:48 pm

Jacula

I had NEVER heard the zo6.48 word, or the more correct version, za6.48 to describe a pleasingly rounded woman, in all my 65 yeas before. But there you go; we live and learn!

11:53 pm

Jacula

As for the 'e' words... ed4.7 is perhaps the rim of something? ed4.5 and 5.12 describe what a newspaper vboss does, eg4.6 - the self/id? el5.12 - tree or someone not so young. en6.21 - chewing edge on mandibles of spiders and crabs. Hope that helps.
