cowobbled: Hit by projectile bovines attempting lunar leaps. Please! You bring to mind a bit of juvenalia form my pre-teen years: Birdie, birdie in the sky, Please don't drop it in my eye. I'll be good, and I won't cry. (Gee! I'm glad that cows don't fly!)

Here's the Bryne site again: http://www.textstore.co.il/mrsbyrne/mrsbyrne.htmSince I pasted the definition from the site, I'm fairly confident it was "fish" there and not "fist." I'll send 'em a note about it. How 'bout "loblobbled": Hit by a flying conifer? WW (Milum, I know you weren't referring to me as #3....right?)

One notes that Dub-Dub has suddenly been expounding on both "hit by a fish" and ichthyophallia". To what do we ascribe this sudden fish-fetish, my dear? Has some poor fish been hitting (on) you?

Dear Keiva:
It was pure sinkronicity being cornobbled by Mrs. Byrne and then Philip posting about the fishy business on the other thread.

Dear tsuwm,
Thanks for suggesting that we look up nobble.
Several definitions in my out-of-date AHD here at school, the most interesting being "3. To outdo or get the better of by devious means."
But, even more exciting and greatly off-topic, are some good Scrabble words from the "n" words in the neighborhood of nobble:
nodi -- plural of nodus (that's a great Scrabble plural to play off of "nod")
noddle -- the head (I've heard of noggin and noodle for head, but never noddle)
nixie -- slang for misaddressed (but I don't have the dadburned Scrabble authority, so don't think this would fly in the game)
And, finally (a ta-da! word):
noes -- pl. of no (I'm a johnny-come-lately here, but I thought the pl. was no's as an exceptional plural form; ya' live 'n' learn)
Now to learn what a veeble and a fetzer are...???

I've said it before, but it bears repeating:
It's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide.
