Many of us have expressed our concern for the recent lack of new members joining the board, so I've come up with an idea. Why don't we host a week of words for AWAD? We could dig up 5 words that we've discussed (separate from previous AWADs) and along with the word and it's definition, we could provide a link to that thread. This would be fun for us and surely get more people interested in the board. So, bring on the words!

Here's a recent possibility: Nudnik - Pesty nagger, nuisance, a bore, obnoxious person. but used as a term of endearment. http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=words&Number=55395 Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Shall We? #56340 02/11/02 08:47 PM Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky Jackie Carpal Tunnel Jackie Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky Wonderful idea, JazzO. Three things: 1.) Anu will have to like the idea; 2.) he always has a theme for the week, though I suppose that week's could be "contributions by AWADtalk members"; 3.) anyone submitting a possibility ought to do a Search, to make sure it hasn't been done before.

Jackie, I sent an e-mail to him right before I started this thread here, so I've yet to hear back from him, but considering he's had guest Wordsmiths before and had blurbs in some e-mailings saying "Want to be a guest Wordsmith?" I think he'll be fine with the idea. But I don't know yet.

Did you perhaps intend "He" and "Him"?

Now I wish I had the memory that you all seem to have. When we discuss a word I'll get all enthused and bug my hubby "ooo, ooo, do you know that XXX came down from old English..." (imagine his rolling of eyes here)...but I'll be danged if I can remember where or when the word was discussed after two weeks have passed.

So, dig up them words!
