Bah.

Note to Wordieternity: it's a joke on Senator Palpatine's name. (Gee, I sure hope I spelled that right...)

Fact! about the Emperor: he was the only one of the original Star Wars figures who floated. It was because of his voluminous sleeves, I think.

9 months ago yarb said:

Pulpatoon? How on earth did anyone take him seriously? Might as well call him Senator Pantaloon and be doon with it.

9 months ago chained_bear said:

Senator Pulpatoon. You know, the Emperor? Darth Vader's boss? WINK WINK?

Senator Oon?

9 months ago chained_bear said:

I like the word, but the Senator was kind of a bad guy. You know, for the galaxy. I don't think he'll be remembered too well, even though he lived a long time and all.

I kind of like pulpatoon myself.

10 months ago chained_bear said:

Hey thanks, sionnach! Dude does half my work for me. Alsome.

Actually, I originally intended the list to contain only words that END in -oon, and contain more than one syllable. Because, let's face it, though "moonlight" and "spoonfeed" might be interesting, they aren't anything as cool as "walloon" or "patroon." But since I included oonchook, well....

My favorite is undoubtedly poontang.

Cough cough. Macaroon.

Good executive decision, I'd say.

about 1 year ago chained_bear said:

I decided there was no real reason to leave "schooner" off the list. Especially when I found this priceless word: oonchook. Clearly it belongs on this list, if not any other, so it was no longer fair to exclude poor schooner.

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

How about schoon, then? Oh, wait--only one syllable. Drat.

about 1 year ago chained_bear said:

Weeeeeelll... yeah. I don't know why. I *like* schooner, don't get me wrong. :)

about 1 year ago notanotherjazzpoet said:

Does it have to be "oon" as the final syllable? Does schooner count?

about 1 year ago chained_bear said:

Wow. I sure missed a lot of them. Thanks, guys! (or gals, as the case may be.)

about 1 year ago AbraxasZugzwang said: here's a nice sounding one

saskatoon

about 1 year ago uselessness said: For your consideration

cartoon? buffoon? lampoon? afternoon? cocoon? harpoon?

about 1 year ago chained_bear said:

Thanks!
