Thank you for adding to my list. I think your elephant trap is amusing.

I played with your name.

Not me. I'm off to Narnia. :-P

I will but I'm off to Chile for three weeks on the following Saturday, so I may have to recruit some cover for the two weeks of overlap.

Any volunteers?

Hi yarb, I'm off to the Philippines again on Friday for three weeks, so keep an extra beady or two on the Words to have topped list.

I'm puzzled about "Flora and fauna in foreign languages". Do we put the birds and bees or the birds and the bees? There seem to be entries from both angles.

Hell of a lot better than *shudder* jejuite. Also, it should be pronounced jah-joonie

Jeju island is to Vancouver as wine unto water (and I say this as a full-blown worshipper of the Couve; a worship only immigranthood can create--seeing thru strange eyes and adoring).

Thanks! Good ideas...

Yarbeing a little shit!

It's as good a word as any. Congratulations on your odometer turning to all zeroes. :)

I wasn't paying attention and I think my 5,000th word might have been shit.

My bad. Thought I was on to something.

Biff! Yourself Nycanthro - I haven't the foggiest what you're on about - help me out please.

And bilby. Biff!

P.S. Biff!

Question -- and I may be on a completely different wavelength here -- but did the hypothermia reference elicit your "I want to go there" quote? Are you American, even?

Biff!

Glad you're enjoying it. I might try them straight through too. 2009 is shaping up to be the year of the really long book for me.

I started last night, TYP. 110 pages in and I'm thirsting for more - might have to read all six without a break!

Sorry about the delay in getting started. Bad timing on my part.

Thanks. I'll try. I didn't know about the
"saving" part, which is obviously why my previous attempt to simply "edit and delete" resulted in yet another post of the same comment. Thanks again.

I noticed that 'k p and t' are probably the 3 letters in English with the most mouth spittle (don't know the proper term for this yet), possibilty with 'f' joining the ranks.

Yarb! A brave THIRD PRIZE in Identify the Wordie #2 with 5 correct answers. I can see all the meditation paid off in the end! I've travelled up hill and down dale to find a suitable word prize for you. Considering you beat all the other donkeys apart from gangerh and reesetee, I'm going to give you a shiny bray on a gold stand. I'm sure you'll find something to do with it. Congratulations! Biff!

I heart my Biff!s.

Do you know that I occasionally visit your profile just to delight over those cheerful biff-biff-biffs? *confesses*

You are fusty, crusty, dusty, and musty.

Oooh, sorry yarb me old china! Was just trying to blazoot all those Biff!s away. Sadly, my best debiffing days are behind me :-(

Ouch!

Biff!

There's something very cheery about that long line of Biff!s to the right. Selfsame list, but
Biff!
Biff!
Biff!
Biff!
Biff!

Uh, fistshake?

Seanahan, there's crap between your name and your comment. And this is a kind of revenge.

And my legend grows.

Crap!

Ha ha - see seanahan's comment at the bottom..

So, the word unkempt must be your favorite ever.

OK, three - like Bim, Bom and Bam in What Where.

Um...I'm here!

Two voices in a vacuum - like that Beckett play, Not I.

Apparently we are the only wordies on line today. Amazingly, we almost filled the whole homepage.

I've been searching for others that have fun with words and Wordie looks like a great place. Your interest in words is very similar to mine. I especially focus on how word combos can trigger thought or give the mind a puzzlement to find meaning. It's amazing how only two words can do that. Write me sometime at nearsounds@hotmail.com and I'll try to explain more of my thoughts on areas of minimalistic wordplay.

Thanks for your help on my BC words list, yarb! Are you from nearby, by any chance?

I added your apricot wash to wordie

aw shucks, yarb! thanks. : )
*ears turning red*

You're so welcome, dear one.

Chained_bear probably has the orangest of all. ;-)

Yes please, do you have orange flavor?

Yarb: gesundheit. Do you need a lozenge?

Well I think they're both excellent words. Especially clorblsnrtzkn!

Hey! You commented on my imaginary words. No, calimaufry isn't gallimaufry, it's a word I made up as a kid to describe this particular feeling of giving up on being bothered and feeling very good about it... kind of. That mixed with the feeling of an end-of-summer sunset where the air seems to change colors, too. Clorblsnrtzkn's definition is secret; the word, being, obviously, a play on Rumpelstiltskin. I think the way it rolls (or, rather, grinds) off the tongue is infinitely more satisfying, though.

Great movie.

Not intentionally, can you fill me in?

thank you for the comment, is "yarb" a reference to "Hot Fuzz"?

- the man servant of the villain would say "yarp" i was a letter off

At the end of your...ohhh, yeah. I think I'll order some pizza now.

Hope you're enjoying yourself, yarb, even though you're having to work!

The only guinea pig I've seen so far was on the end of my fork. I'll keep my eye out for your wild herd, cb, but I'm in Lima now, my Andean sojourn over, so I think the chances are slim.

I did see vicuña, though.

Please, please, please tell me if you see any herds of wild guinea pigs. I would love to see a herd of wild guinea pigs.

Thanks both. I have to do crappy work while I'm there, but the Andes are calling me nonetheless. Argh! Panpipes!

I really, really like your profile photo on Librarything, though, yarb.

Have a fantastic trip! I'm almost as envious as chained_bear. :-)

Bloody hell! I've always wanted to go to Peru! Please tell me how it was when you get back, and have a great time. *is insanely jealous*

You're funny; commenting on deleted words that don't exist on any list, and referring to listed words in the comment. It's like playing with a toggle switch to read them back to back to back. :P

cb: I'm not on facebook. But I might join with a pseudonym just so you can "friend me", as I believe is the term. But I'm going away to Peru for two weeks so not until after I'm back.

sean: haha. Yes. That is one humdinger of a word. But it's almost too much of a good thing. It's as though I can't fully savour the 'un' when I'm distracted by the 'k', 'p' and 't'. It's word-sex-overload.

So your favorite word should be unkempt?

Yarb, are you on Facebook? There's a Wordie group there, you know!
