Could this really be the end? Are we not going to beat
Master HogDzoom again, this time without giving
him the excuse that the word was indecently exposed?
It's a lousy word , but somewhere in the corner of our collective mind it's as clear is as.. whatever is clear.

I can't tease out any morphemes. This is a real poser!

Please, what are you talking about? Can anybody explain in simple words until I get the spirit of "the language"?!

hoo boy! you should probably consider this thread to fall into the "advanced" category; but, see the hogwash rules® thread, which is pinned to the top of this forum, to get an idea of how the game of hogwash is played.

The rules for Hogwash are always the top thread in the Wordplay and Fun index even though other topics get added later. ie they are pinned to the top position.

For DM this is our version of Daffynitions. We PM or personal message our made-up definition to the "Hogmmaster", the one who came up with the word, by clicking on the name hogmaster then click on Send a PM. Check the Hogwash rules thread for details since we never do things quite the way they were originally intended.

hello everybody,

your "English" is in fact very different from that that I 've studied at the university for 4 years. Here is the problem for which i've found the solution in exchanging ideas with you on this forum. So i need you to explain every "word and structure" because I 've never seen them before in academic books, newspapers or magazines. In addition i 've never been to any country where english is the first language.

Thank you very much beforehand.
