I'm not sure whether this word is unknown enough or not; please post here if you know it (other than tsuwm--I expect you know it, sir). Otherwise, send me your definitions. The word is

enthymeme.

New people: please look at hogwash rules, posted in the first and second threads in this topic.

J, I usually OneLook my candidate word and if it can't be found there then it's good to go.

(:

that said, I don't recognize your word, offhand.

Well--as I recall, the usual time is a week, to send in submissions. That'd make it the 20th. I've only rec'd. one so far. I will probably allow till somewhere around the 29th. for voting, as the Thanksgiving holiday will take up a lot of time for most of this country's voters; if I get enough def's. to even post, that is. Thanks for asking--I was a bit remiss, wasn't I?

Original line:
This is not a word to make fun of. Difficult, but anyway : coming up soon.

Have your fun Mr.Eastworth. I've taken my words back home.
If you want to call this fun.

I protest. Stick to the rules. 7 days. Winner gets a 2 lb. purple cabbage. One can make fun if one desires to make fun.

I get the feeling that a post has been deleted.

Are you kidding? I give all my posts at least 12 hours of air time before I delete them.
It's a logistical nightmare.

Dear Jackie, as Hogwashmastertress you should not wash wishy-washily.
Be firm. Don't pander jerks like me. Don't be submissive to the submitters. Crack the whip! Bip the bop! Remember, you are only remiss when you admit it.

Uh - in other words - my submission is in the mail.
