the naughts

Connie's coinage isn't coming up, as a 'hit' yet I mean. Is wordsmith immune to Google?

(and by the way, Connie, do you have a good recipe for trilobite fricas[s]ee?) [not-segueing into a food-thread-e, but if anybody'd have this, you would!..prolly with lots of mushrooms!]

and wine. Don't forget the champagne and wine.I finally remembered what song that line is from. "I Will Be There" by Van Morrison, Ooops, I meant St. Dominic's Preview, not Astral Weeks

This game is too easy. All you have to do is take a few recent wwd's and after eliminating those not in the proper dictionary per faldage] try googling all possible pairs.

Most pairs won't work, but many will. For example, if I haven't slipped:
gonzo winebibber
esemplastic camorra
winebibber ethnology


To make it more challenging, one might look for a two-word phrase actually makes some kind of sense, as in respected faldage, wordsmith faldage, hunk faldage. And even better, a phrase where the neither word of the pair is ridiculously obscure.

The above faldage-phrases are complimentary, but [evil grin -e] I am now searching for phrases of invective.

Good heavens, I found one--the only match was from that daggoned on-line text dictionary thing: sashaying salubriously. And if it ain't in the right dictionary--I don't care!
