Here's a couple I meant to nominate but was slighty "distracted' of late...you can hold them in reserve, if needed, Jazzo, or for the next list:

2. yaw - slide down [a wave] in a diagonal direction - from "Nautical terms" (good thread)
http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=miscellany&Number=23217
3. bogart - 2 interesting threads on this one, one on Eponyms, one on Q & A
http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=eponyms&Number=22489
http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=words&Number=46769
4. octothorp - from "What is an octothorp?" Q & A

http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=words&Number=54271
6. mustelid - from thread of same name Q & A http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=words&Number=53198

W'ON, I added your suggestions to the list. I doubt Anu will want to do this again, so why not give them a chance?

Y'all who've already voted can feel free to change your votes.

Thanks, Jazzo...had some of these ready just didn't get around to it, sorry I was late.

Also, a question: I think the "time on my hands" thread is brilliant, but how do we sell the word "time" to Anu? Do you really think he'll use something so common sounding? For instance, I thought "Nautical Terms" would be a great intro thread, but he won't go with "nautical"...so I perused the thread for a word and came up with "yaw." Maybe there's a more intriguing word used somewhere on the "time" thread we could use?


[edit: nepenthe is out, Anu used it.
ovine: of, relating to, or belonging to sheep (thanks to Max) is an unused Animal Adj. I replaced it on my list because I think one listing thread is enough, and "Nautical terms" has more discussion.
And thanks for enandiotromic, tsuwm...great thread to showcase!]
