hi mael
7:37 am
mael

hmm, why is taoist not a word?
7:37 am
BzznBea

proper?
7:38 am
mael

I guess, though atheist and theist and the like all work
7:38 am
mael

but those are generic, yeah
7:40 am
mael

but no, because dadaist would work! I guess it's just enable picking and choosing as usual :)
7:47 am
MollyL

If there can be a dadaist, why not a dodoist 😊
7:48 am
mael

fan of extinct birds

Nice.
8:24 am
hurshy

morning
8:26 am
hurshy

the Tao is proper, so Taoist, like Christian, is proper. an atheist or theist are based on the concept "there is no god" or "there is some kind of god" from greek roots. a dadaist is a person who does a kind of art which maybe they didn't want to make proper for anti-establishment sorts of reasons? and a dodoist would be ... what, the people who are trying to bring that bird back from extinction? lol
8:29 am
hurshy

if enable were updated annually, do you think "catio" would be in the dictionary by now?
8:30 am
Scrabbler

Haha. Do you have a catio for your cats?
8:30 am
hurshy

no... i don't even have a permanent home to add one to
8:31 am

8:31 am
hurshy

morning welki, how are you?
8:32 am
welki

i'm well, thanks - you?
8:32 am
hurshy

oh, scrabbler, i have a question - if i have a bunch of blood drawn tomorrow for medical tests, can i still donate blood the next day or is that NG?
8:32 am
BzznBea

Scrabs, when is your surgery?
8:32 am
hurshy

i'm alright, thanks welki :)
8:32 am
welki

hi bea
8:33 am
BzznBea

hello, welki.
8:33 am
Scrabbler

welki, you are having quite an adventure. When will you return to the great north?
8:34 am
welki

towards the end of this week, scrabs - it's been great
8:34 am
Scrabbler

Bea, it is on 2/14. My orthopedist will be my valentine.
8:34 am
BzznBea

Will keep you in my thoughts.
8:35 am
HarryHood

missing that corner lone O - anybody have a clue?
8:36 am
Scrabbler

TY. I am fine when I don't think about it.
8:36 am
welki

i'm glad you're able to get the surgery quickly (relative to the decision to have it) - at home, i received a call to schedule the surgery more than three years after we'd asked for it. by then, didn't make much sense to have it
8:36 am
BzznBea

oo6.27
8:36 am

oo6, add a body lump
8:36 am
Scrabbler

That is terrible, welki.
8:36 am

ty all
8:37 am
welki

between the 'normal' lag time and covid, surgery schedules are really messed up
8:38 am
HarryHood

3 years. holy cow
8:38 am
welki

yeah, it sucks. but at least when it seizes in the middle of the night and i have to change position to stop the pain, i know i'm alive :)
8:39 am
HarryHood

gotta run to class. 44 for later.
8:39 am
hurshy

<--- asked a blood question at 8:32
8:39 am
welki

i hope you have the speediest recovery and rehab, scrabs - get you back on the trails this summer
8:40 am
welki

bye, harry
8:40 am
phaeton

I'm sure there is catspit out there somewhere
8:42 am
Scrabbler

Oops, I missed that Hurshy. You should be fine to donate blood. Basic bloodwork probably is 30 ml at the most. You can donate 240 ml more.
8:44 am
hurshy

well the doctor put like 8 tests, but, hopefully that is still ok
8:45 am
bichon

Can't donate blood. Hemoglobin too low
8:45 am
Scrabbler

Your hemoglobin will be checked before the donation.
8:45 am
hurshy

are you referring to yourself bichon?
8:47 am
bichon

Yes
8:47 am
hurshy

ah :)
8:49 am

I need to go shopping for my mother.

Yesterday it was ago, a slur against Italians, today it's yi4, dictionary says an offensive slur. Could Dr God not find another dictionary to attach to? Neither of these words have any other meaning in this dictionary.
9:17 am

Yesterday "ago" I mean.

dago
9:18 am
hurshy

ahhh i totally failed to notice that that ending was here!
9:20 am
Kaplan the Magne

here's another one, sp4 or spik, spick
[ spik ]SHOW IPA


💼 Post-College Level
noun Slang: Extremely Disparaging and Offensive.
a contemptuous term used to refer to a Spanish American person.
9:21 am
Kaplan the Magne

Maybe I'll write to Dr God and ask why he feels the need to use Enable.
9:22 am
rururocks

he's not going to care kaplan. he puts no effort into this game any longer
9:22 am
hurshy

i'd have to say the reality is that doc isn't going to change the dictionary at this point. especially since half of us don't see it as a problem. so like, all you're doing is drawing attention to these words that probably a lot of people don't even realize are slurs, but just think of as babblets whose meaning they don't know.
9:22 am
Kaplan the Magne

am I the only one bothered by this?
9:23 am
hurshy

not the only one, no, but it's not like everyone agrees with you either. idk the percents, hence my guesstimate of half.
9:23 am
Kaplan the Magne

I mean, as a Kid.
9:23 am
rururocks

they are no words I ever use, but I don't worry about them in this game.. in the real world that's a different story
9:23 am
hurshy

exactly, ruru
9:23 am
Kaplan the Magne

"Yid"
9:23 am
Kiani

it honestly doesn't bother me for a word searchy game like this. They're just words here; not applied to any individual in any way.
9:25 am
Meatball421

those words are all legal in Scrabble
9:26 am
Kiani

in the end, a person can take offense at anything at all, or someone could try to take offense on behalf of someone else, to the point where it's impossible to have a vocabulary in a language. It's a hairline balance between appropriateness and oversensitivity
9:27 am
hurshy

i mean, the word "rape" bothers me more than the c-word... but obviously i know that they aren't going to leave the word out of the dictionary
9:27 am
Kaplan the Magne

Not everyone has to agree with me about what? That these are listed as offensive ethnic slurs? They may be counted in scrabble,
9:27 am
hurshy

we don't agree with you that it is a problem for them to be in the dictionary or for that dictionary to be used in word games.
9:27 am
Kiani

(not that I'm trying to be preachy, just my perspective as a linguist)
9:28 am

Rape is not a specificracial or ethnic slur.

as i said last time we talked about this, the dictionary only describes. it does not suggest that they are good ... just that they exist.

I doubt very much that dr. god will be able to find a free word list or online dictionary that has these removed, and he's not putting any money into this game and he only puts the bare minimum in to keep it running.

exactly, TO
9:30 am
72 Temple Owl

but there are words more innocuous that they omit
9:30 am
Kaplan the Magne

I think these words may be endemic to the dictionary, but it is a fact that they are racial and ethnic slurs with no other possible meaning. Deserves to be noticed.
9:31 am
hurshy

kaplan, it's not that we think you have to agree with us, by the way. we just think that realistically, you're not accomplishing anything by bringing this up repeatedly.
9:31 am
hurshy

is it better that we all have our attention drawn to the fact that the y4 is a slur against Jews or is it better if, like me, people just enter the word without thinking about that meaning at all?
9:31 am
hokie carla

and FTR, I just tried sp4 and dago in the scrabble online dictionary and both were not in there. so it's possible they scrubbed the scrabble dictionary, but that won't change the early 2000s enable list that this game is attached to.
9:32 am
72 Temple Owl

however, if one has no heritage tracing to the offensive ethnic words, it is easy to say that those of that hertitage should not be offended. i see their point
9:32 am
Meatball421

no, I have used them, I play on ISC
9:33 am
hokie carla

I'd rather keep playing this game than have him shut it down because someone keeps complaining about the obviously offensive word list. and there are slurs toward everyone included, so at least enable is an equal opportunity offender.
9:36 am
hokie carla

PS - Kap, do not watch the new Netflix movie, You People. I watched last night and not only is it terrible, I think it would be very offensive to jewish people.

here is an example. on saturday night she was cutely batting at a laptop cord. then she started to try biting it. i said, "no rilla, that's not ok". she immediately stopped. sat back on her haunches and looked at me as if to say, "oh, i'm sorry, i didn't know." now you must admit that is not normal cat behavior.
9:39 am

I used to catsit for 2 different neighbors when I was a teenager. one of the cats would come over and hang out with me when they were gone. He'd climb on my stomach and push around with his paws.

a lot of ppl say biscuits. i think bread would be better, because with biscuits, if you knead them too much they will come out badly.

muffins are more like cake... you don't knead them at all, it's liquidy batter

Kaplan the Magne


Going back a bit- I just had a dance class- bringing my issue up repeatedly may not accomplish anything, so is it better to being up the slurs- which cover many groups, or let them go by. Certainly many people are not aware of the meaning of the words. That's all. It's an alert, like needle case alert. Something to be aware of. I'm not sure of the origin of Twat- if it's in Balzac or Chaucer, or Shakespeare. Fuck is I think a germanic word meaning to plant a seed. So I'm going out to fuck my garden.

Dilemma. A few of you have heard me over the past few days point out the racial slurs. I really like working the grid; it relaxes me. Some have suggested that I am over-sensitive, or paying attention to things that are not really relevant. It is hard for me to not notice and be "triggered" by certain words, given the vulnerability I feel in the USA and indeed worldwide. Do the question for me is whether to play something that doesn't present me with kids, Lagos, spics and hebes every other day? Anti-Semitic and racial violence is present in ways that I have never seen before. An attack on a synagogue was thwarted today. Most people have said Dr. God is not invested in Babble anymore. I am also offended by twat and cunt. DIckwad hasn't come up as a word. And the infamous N word that no one can say is never here. What would you do if you were me? If words about Italians, Jews and Latin came up every day during a dangerous time in history? My choice is to ignore, quit, or voice an alert to note that there is an ethnic slur in the grid. I have been doing the latter. I think people should at least be aware that yes, these are words, and yes, they are derogatory toward vulnerable groups.
4:26 pm
Kaplan the Magne

For me, I feel ok just pointing it out and having it be acknowledged.
4:27 pm
Kaplan the Magne

It's educational, not accusatory.
4:28 pm
car.eeyore

Thank you for sharing your dilemma Kaplan. I think you opinion is valid. I think you should do what makes you feel the most comfortable. To me, it is a word game and I am just filling in the words. Some are not my favorite, but I find Enable a ridiculous outdated source to use for words anyway. I do not tolerate many of those words in my day to day conversations, but they do not bother me here to the point of discomfort.
4:29 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Lately it's been bothering me more.
4:31 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Well the same people who were here earlier are not hear now, and I don't want to be a bore. But some people are now aware that "to Jew" is not a verb, so just pointing it out would make be feel safer.
4:32 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I don't know if this is a White space. Words with friends seems more diverse but it is now filled with trolls.
4:32 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Holy typo, Batman!
4:34 pm
amelu0218

I agree Kap. I've spent my life describing myself as a red-headed step-child (because I was before I was orphaned, lol). I guess I just realize I can't make everything "as I'd like it to be" so it's a matter of how offensive you find such. If too much, you do have the option of not continuing to use the site? I don't want that to happen for you. I have taken exception on some coments or accepted words but have learned that they're just stupid things that don't offend others... we're becoming more and more of a society of acceptance. *shrug* There is no one here that I personally know but I've seen most babblers in my association w/the game (I think 2005?). it is what it is. There are many things I won't say that I can still type for the points, lol
4:36 pm
Kaplan the Magne

You were orphaned?
4:36 pm
amelu0218

I am now. Later in life, such as things go.

So, no, didn't grow up that way but sometimes felt I was.
4:37 pm
ch1212

Kaplan, thank you so much for speaking up. I agree with you 100%, and I try to be aware of trigger words. It takes many, many people to speak up and be heard when it comes to language. Words we would not dream of using today were commonplace in my parent's time, until enough people pointed those words out as offensive. For what it's worth, my hope is you won't leave the game but continue to speak out -- perhaps by contacting Dr. God about the Enable dictionary. That said, if you feel unsafe here, your well being comes first. You take care of you.
4:39 pm
Nef

Kap, I’msorry that these words are triggering to you & others. I used to play Babble every day for years, but there have been times when chat got personal or my life got crazy & I quit for a while (I’m starting back up again after being away for almost 2 years again). As a senior citizen who has spent most of my life in basically a “white christian” (however you wish to interpret that) area of the US, I’moffended by some of the words that I’ve seen here & in a few other word games, but I either purposely don’t enter them or enter them & move on. Like car.ee, I don’t use anyof the words I find offensive here & I expect others to refrain from them also around me (even my son respects that rule).
When chat becomes heated, I enlarge the grid so I can’t see it or I close the game.
4:39 pm
Sophie512

CH1212 Yes! I just deleted my message because your wording is so much better.

I like Babbel. People this morning told me Dr God doesn't care and is not invested. So I would like to just be able to say "Ethnic slur alert!" and leave it at that.

Welcome back Nee! I remember you! I remember the chat getting nasty at times, could never understand why.

That works for me, Kap. I sometimes don’t even realize some words are ethnic slurs (because of the way I was raised & still may not have heard them).

Dr God (Jamie) has always responded quickly as far as keeping things up and running. I just don't think he has enough "backing - $$ - desire" to keep up with obsolete programming on a regular basis. *shrug* this platform is a wonderful place to stretch your brain and "meet" people you will never really know, lol. If I were he (assumption on my part, could as easily be she) I'd be considering a yearly fee instead of the one time upgrade fee... Of course, we should all be grandfathered, lol.

Hi Jacula. I have 7 D’s left, all 5’s & 6’s & I’msure I’ve tried every word I can make.
11:10 pm

Hi Nef. da5/16 = small white lawn flower with yellow centre. Di6/25 = di + word for actors in a play. Di5/14 = di + mixed up feline. Di5/16 = someone who is a bit 'blonde' and scatty. DI5/12 - means me as well. du6/30 means like a du4/7, all of whom who young ones were sung about by Mott the Hoople back in the 1970s. Hope that helps!
