This time, in order to avoid what happened last time, I am giving you all a choice between two words that I think would make good hogwash words...this way it will be a popular choice and should work better. You will have until Friday to vote and then I will announce the winning word as the hogwash word and you can send me all of your daffynitions which make it brilliant
Alright the choice is:
No need to exclude one or the other, Whichever wins this poll, we simply use the other one later!
I agree.
Can you have too many Hogwash words
Not from my point of view....one of the more fun aspects
of the site.
I agree.
Can you have too many Hogwash words
yes, definitely. one of my 'reference books' is
Webster's Dictionary Game (by 'William Webster'), which claims to be "A Dictionary with over 5000 esoteric words."
< opens at random > kensington - U.S. dialect for a potluck dinner(!!) [my Uncle Bob used to say, "there's no such thing as a coincidence."]
I voted for kibitka - it has an OLI of 9, but I've no clue; scurryfunge, OTOH, has an OLI of 2, but two guesses where they are!
NB: you can safely onelook the latter up, you'll only see the links; if you try that with the former.. no, you better not, unless you have strong will power.
I am guessing you featured it as a wwftd? and the other is probably some online slang dictionary or a dictionary with a 'this page is pending' note?
since they're your words, you're allowed to LTU! (pretty good guessing, tho')
Why thank you...ah I see I was close...hmm I would have thought kibitka would have less than scurryfunge *shrugs* ooh now kibitka is winning... (I had to vote in order to see the results so my random vote gets discounted
)
if you mean your vote wasn't counted, that's right (my vote tied the score at four(4). (unless you were actually able to edit the count!)
No I have no such power over the programming...I have to mentally remove my vote
it has been rather exciting though...kibitka was winning then scurryfunge and now it is kibitka again!
?I *still see the vote tied at 4, same as when I voted 45 min. ago. do you spose I'd have to clear my cache to see it change? (not that I'm about to..)
No...every time you return to the page it updates...my vote is still there, but as I just clicked on one and I know which one I clicked on (scurryfunge as it was closer to submit) I can remove it when I total it up at the end...even though it says 4 it is in fact 3...I only had to vote because I was unable to see the results of my own poll unless I voted...
ah. sorry for being slow on the uptake, then.
I just found another word I was going to put in my hogwash words cache so I LIU and found that your wwftd had featured it...imagine my dissapointment when I realised that pareidolia had already found a home on your site
were is tsuwms site?
and I voted for the one I didn't know already
Candy, you can click on my name, and then View Homepage, or you can google 'tsuwm' and take the 'worthless word' link..
Ahh, done. And I've stumbled on that page before...when researching about Hogwash words....didn't know it was yours.
did you note the 'hogwash words' link over on the left? which serves to remind me, I haven't updated that list for the last few words..
Yes....those were the ones I came across, somehow.
And now I see your name at the bottom of the page LOL
I am wondering if my word 'Wagiman' will be added as it doesn't seem to fit the criteria?
done. bokeh was no. 101 in the continuing series (wagiman included, at least for the nonce..) :-)
Now they are tied...hmm this seems to be backfiring on me...what should I do if they remain tied do we think? have a double hogwash word
?
5-4 in scurry's favor at the moment.
Alas it is not so...I had to vote for scurry in order to see the results (slight flaw there methinks) and so there is one extra vote for scurry that was from me and so should be discounted
4 all at the moment
ah. but you might as well vote, no?
yes but I like both of them...which was the original problem and reason to post a poll :s unfortunately I seem to have reached no conclusion
Do one for January, and save the next one for February.
yes but I like both of them...which was the original problem and reason to post a poll :s unfortunately I seem to have reached no conclusion
wouldn't it be simpler to just use the OneLook Index? : )
No because they both will be hogwash words, I just couldn't decide which one to use and thought people might like to vote on it.
Any last votes before polling closes? (on a tie *sigh)
I am not sighing. I look forward to both.
