Good, Jazzo...I was just going to suggest a week of Hogwash® words and found your post! And, tsuwm, I think if 5 folks volunteer to search for the link once we have the week's words we can trim the searching time to almost nothing.

I thought the idea was to link to past discussions about selected words
Okay, okay! Sheesh! Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most...

I vote for pie-powder.

I figured we'd all post our suggestions here ... Perhaps a couple of the Hogwash words would be good suggestions.

It might be useful to find threads that gave us particular fun (whether Hogwash of not), and might be fun for the might be fun for the new folks to restart and develop on their own -- to have the same fun that we had then.

I'd particularly nominate mav's "brick house bertha" thread.

Yeahbut®

And I guess we also have to screen the links to cull out the threads that have too many of our famous AWAD wanderings, which might be a bit confusin' to a newcomer?

Whit, my thought (perhaps a silly one ) was that those threads should not be for reading, but rather for restarting, letting those who were not here the first time redevelop them now.

For example, if I were one who hadn't been here to enjoy being part of the "brick-house" discussion when mav first raised it, I would love the chance to join such a discussion started anew.

One of my favourite words! I use it almost everyday.

Banjaxed is another one.

I searched for hogwash words and only one of them really sparked any further discussion:

talud http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=wordplay&Number=32756

Come on guys, we need more words to pick from. And remember to find the thread that it was discussed in.
