oroboros Hey! Good one, mollusque, thanks. Jun 24, 2011
mollusque bRAdburY Jun 24, 2011
Wordplayer I think you misspelled chandeliers though. Anyway, thanks for accepting my input. May 3, 2011
oroboros Thanks, Wp. May 3, 2011
Wordplayer Would ChANDeLiErS and inSIGNia count? May 2, 2011
oroboros Well, we know he certainly wasn't a COD...'tho maybe a CAD! Jun 18, 2008
yarb Perhaps, through long observation of the multifarious forms life takes, he came to believe in the existence of the MONAD. Jun 18, 2008
mollusque This raises some questions about Old MacDonald. He was a MAN, but was he a DAD? Or an ex-CON? Did he go MAD from all the noise? Jun 17, 2008
oroboros Hey m.! That's a new wrinkle. Seems good to me; go for it! Jun 17, 2008
mollusque Oroboros, do items like "macdOnaLD" qualify? Jun 17, 2008
oroboros Okay gang here's the joey-antonym list...
Thanks to all for the suggestions. Apr 25, 2008
arcadia How about giANT? (Kangaroo word with joey antonym, if you ever start that list). Apr 25, 2008
chained_bear I'm wanting to add revolutionary (REVOLuTionary) but I feel like it's probably cheating. So I won't. Apr 24, 2008
mollusque What about cause and effect? PANdemIC. Apr 23, 2008
oroboros Excellent, sionnach! I'm feeling most edified about it all right now. ;o) Apr 23, 2008
reesetee Ah, crossword puzzles. Gotta love 'em. :-) Apr 23, 2008
sionnach Just as a single mommy kangaroo can give birth to twin joeys, in rare cases joey has multiple mommies:
Example - irate shares the ancestors infuriated and irritated
sly: slippery stealthy slinky
dead: deceased departed decapitated decayed
Obviously, it is the little runty words that are more likely to have multiple parents (it takes a village and all that)
Apr 23, 2008
sionnach So joey-antonyms would be something like friend/fiend, or cremate/create or pest/pet? Apr 23, 2008
oroboros I just finished a NYT X-word (Derrick Niederman & Will Shortz--no date) that used it as a theme and I figured Wordies would be able to come up with a lot more. The puzzle claims that kangaroo word is in the dictionary but I had no luck finding same. It is in Wikipedia, however. :o)
A spinoff that I haven't seen would be kangaroo words where the antonym is carried in the joey-pocket! Apr 22, 2008
reesetee I second that--what a great idea. How'd you come up with this, o? Apr 22, 2008
oroboros Thanks c_b. And I figured that sionnach would waste no time in finding more. If you don't wanna add 'em sionnach, I will... Apr 22, 2008
chained_bear Oroboros, this is an awesome list idea, and I especially love the title. :) Apr 22, 2008
sionnach Cool list.
