And nobody had better LIU before voting, neither! Faldage and Jackie Now something needs to be explained maybe. Why did I ask you about the yes or no of using a dictionary. Well, because I thought that maybe people brought up words that are as hard to get from a dictionary as it is to guess them. I must have overestimated you guys. So you can drop your arms over this misunderstanding I hope. It took me some time to clearly look at both you reactions. It slowly dawned on me when you were talking on SQUINCH about grievances, Jackie. Gee,I'm a little embarrassed. Last edited by BranShea; 02/14/07 09:51 PM.

I only want to learn to play that game , that's all. Just experience how it works. I only thought it more complicated than it really is. Thanks for your answer.

But once in a while you come across a word that's simple, ambiguous, sassy, obscure, silly, unexpected, impish, whatever, and you say "Now wouldn't THAT make a great Hogwash word!" and Presto, you're a Hogmistress!

The old ugg boot advertisement appeared. I reported it, and pm'd Candy as to what to do when they appear as so many advised me when I just responded to the spam rather than using the 'contact us' button. Anu told me in an email that the site tries to eliminate them but they are coming in from China now. Last edited by LukeJavan8; 10/04/10 04:58 PM.

Step one: Announce that a new round of Hogwash is in the works and what the word for the round is. Step two: Receive private messages from all those submitting daffynitions for the round. If the sennight is running out with fewer daffynitions than desired, post a reminder on the invite thread. Step three: collate the daffynitions, include the correct answer, and post in a seperate thread after seven days. Step four: Post answer and voting statistics in a seperate thread after seven days It sounds terrible Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Page 2 of 3 1 2 3 Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
