in texting - x = kiss
and ......... u = you

kiss = buss

could be all of the above, however xu is chatspeak for buss is one correct response

It's funny how many of the words are staples of the Regency romance genre.

My top tip to get to 50 quickly is to start at 40.

Here's some I didn't see on www.freerice.com

Wan means:

- One of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse
- A noetic poetic Dylanesque ellision of " I wanchu" so bad
- A smaller version of the wanton beast but steamed and vegetarian
- None of thee above if you don't mind

Gainsay means:

- Maybe a winner this time
- Tautologically say again repetitively and again say again say
- Potentially come out and admit to being a bachelor in say nanoseconds
- Deny that there is one of thee above

Anon means:

- Who you are
- Electrically charged buy an ion
- A bit like repetition only more tedious
- Soon to be a perfect nonesuch above

Further posts will result in dire encouragement

I used to only play for the rice. Now I've split the infinitive.

Which of the following words best describes light raillery?:

- prerogative
- pejorative
- preremptory
- peremptory
- perjorative
- perogative
- persiflage

And in answer to your question, yes.

It's been around since 10/8 and known on A2K (thanks, ehBeth!) since 10/18. And the site has grown exponentially since then. Coincidence? I think not.
