Ribh's D'Coopage

[BY Bob]

Tell me about it! Nyssa has learnt that if she shouts her head off at 5am I will come and let her out!

That's not good. Bad habit.

Now there's a word that's been cropping up lately in the last couple of weeks! I mentioned how at my workplace we were doing Christmas activities; well I held a word challenge and 'discombobulate' was one of them. If anyone is interested (especially @Ribh the wordsmith), here is the list if anyone wants to improve their vocabulary.

Discombobulate
Tannoy
Squall
Hominid
Persnickety
Nebbish
Scrimp
Muliebrity
Serotinal
Spelunk
Exclave
Indefatigable
Xanadu
Mishpocha
Rapprochement
Prodigal
Prelapsarian
Beastie
Fustian
Ambisinister

Let me know how many you got (without cheating!) The best here was four out of twenty!

Some good words there.
I am enjoying looking up the ones I didn’t know, but I knew (and even use) more than four. Was drunk involved in the game perhaps? I was stone cold sober.

11 for sure, could make educated guesses on several others.

About 1/2 with reasonable guesses @ a couple of others.

Umm no, we were at work so all sober. There was a prize for the best made-up definition too.

Do tell!

 

[LozzyR]

Do tell!

The winning made-up definition was “Spelunk - the sound made by a marshmallow hitting the hot chocolate”.

That’s pretty good! Not sure if I knew 11 of them! It was good fun though.

I like this game! I got 11 but I like learning the others.

Love it. And not one of the words I knew so that would have worked for me as the meaning.
