Talk about separated by a common language: on this site I found: KILL-Devil, Rum. And wondered if there had been any rum-running in North Carolina. (Xara never did give us the answer to why Kill-Devil Hills got so named, and I never followed through on my look-up, either.) However--then, I noticed that Rum was highlighted, and found: RUM, gallant, fine, rich, best or excellent.
I looked for grass here, but didn't find it.

ZNEES

ZNEES, Frost, or Frozen; Zneesy weather; Frosty Weather.

ZNUZ

ZNUZ, the same as Znees

Huh?

Is znuz a Scrabble® word?...then my next opponent is dead meat!

Si jugamos en Español, no se pude usar.
If we play in Spanish, it can't be used.

Hey, for an extra 30 points on a triple word I'll turn an "N" on it's side!
