OP 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Several definitions in my out-of-date AHD here at school, the most interesting being "3.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...???
