Balderdash

Yes, you certainly can join us, cav! Interesting website, too...

K, I am going to dash....my word is ZENZIZENZIZENZIC

Hmm, number 10, I say, not looking at the choices for more than about a min.

Feel free to take more time if you like, Jespah.

Cav, that word is mighty familiar to me. It doesn't show up on a search of the site... Maybe we used it in the game when we were back on Abuzz? Does it seem familiar to anyone else?

Yes, although I don't remember exactly what it means, I'm sure we had zenzi... used on Abuzz.

And I have a sneaking feeling that I'm the one who used it!

Hmm mac, well, both the word and the root are obscure, and no longer used. It would be cool if you had used it previously though

Well, it took some major research in Abuzzland, but I found it. It was the last word we played on Abuzz - I posted it on 10/30/02, and we mulled it over until 11/13/02. Peace & Love and Diane guessed the right definition, too. (Followed by a Snoopy dance from P&L! ) So, sorry cav, but it's back to the dictionary...

Ok, I shall return...

I guessed the right answer the first time??? Hey!! Let's play that word again!! LOL...

Hi Cav, welcome to Balderdash and thanks for volunteering to be dasher.
It is soooo embarrassing to admit that I no longer remember the definition of zenzi...etc.

Well, Diane, it seems that you know the definition when you see it!

And since cavfancier won't be using it, I think it's safe to tell that the definition of zenzizenzizenzic is: an obsolete word meaning to the eighth power.

yes indeedy

I'll try this one...ETAOIN SHRDLU

Good lord, cav - is that English? (Though I have no idea if that matters! )

I sent a PM to firstthought, so hopefully he'll come in and vote soon...

heh heh, hope for some good votes...

Hi cavfancier. Welcome to our game. We look forward to your joining us.
I hate to sound stodgy, but Macsm is the Dasher on the current round which will wrap up shortly. I think it is inappropriate to start a new round until the last one is finished and the scores are updated. We move at a pretty glacial speed here and I'm sure that that can be frustrating for some but that is the way it has always been done. Perhaps y'all feel differently, but my thinking is that the Dasher who has taken the time to come up with a word, cajole responses and solicit votes deserves a little time in the spotlight without competition from a new round. Any comments? -johnboy-
