TACTLESS Thank you. 🙂 I wasn't sure if an s on the end was allowable.
Sure. It's also something bugs do.
I think officially that's called "transitive" and "intransitive" - the Captain scuttles his ship (v.t.), but the earwig scuttles across the floor(v.i.).

I avoided Bellini's Norma and it still circled around to Romans. Do you think Norma is an anagram for Roman?
I'm not really great at anagrams, have to use a pencil and paper a lot
but an anagram tool I have gives it as "A" "Norm": two different
particles.

I like Tom Swifties, but I don't particularly want them tied to anagrams.
"I'm Capt. Hook, " he said, offhandedly.
I like them, but I'm not very good with them.
I'd support a thread with them.

I'm not sure we've begun Volume XVII yet. This one (XVI) was started last mid-December and has about 550 entries, and I usually refresh when we get to about 1000.
At the bottom of this page it says 'Continued from here". Clicking here takes you to post 226040 dated 12/07/16 (which must be what you are referring to),but the
next post is #226946. Misnumbering?
Who knows. It is no biggie,but that is why I mentioned it. Might just be on my computer

Old joke:
A woman gives birth to twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them
goes to a family in Egypt, and is named Amahl. The other goes to a family in Spain, where
they name him Juan.
Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. She tells her husband that
she wishes she had a picture of Amahl, too. Her husband responds, "They're twins!
If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amahl!"
(Did you ever hear/see a made-for-TV opera by Gian-Carlo Menotti named Amahl
and the Night Visitors?) Worth looking up, if you're at all musical.)

The word above it was "leanest".

Ah. No wonder you wondered! It was another possibility for following LEANEST, with L-->R, but instead I went with E-->L and got to STERNAL. Fortunately that follows from LEANEST, too.

Pion is also the name of a subatomic particle. See

My son and his wife have several cats: Pion (pictured), Boson, Fermion, and Quark. (This Quark is
not the bartender on DS-9.) You might not be surprised when I say that his wife is a physics professor.
