I'm particularly fond of the consonants k, p and t, and words beginning with "un" (except uncle).

I also like the term crumb bum.

I also like eel and sour plums.

    Bilby, I think abry is a she.

  • 3 days ago, arby said: Sadly, I don't care for sour plums. And so the great arby-yarb twinship project of 2009 came to a screeching halt.

  • about 6 months ago, madmouth said: I'm puzzled about "Flora and fauna in foreign languages". Do we put the birds and bees or the birds and the bees? There seem to be entries from both angles.
  • about 6 months ago, madmouth said: Hell of a lot better than *shudder* jejuite. Also, it should be pronounced jah-joonie
  • about 6 months ago, madmouth said: Jeju island is to Vancouver as wine unto water (and I say this as a full-blown worshipper of the Couve; a worship only immigranthood can create--seeing thru strange eyes and adoring).

  • about 1 year, 8 months ago, nearsounds said: I've been searching for others that have fun with words and Wordie looks like a great place. Your interest in words is very similar to mine. I especially focus on how word combos can trigger thought or give the mind a puzzlement to find meaning. It's amazing how only two words can do that. Write me sometime at nearsounds@hotmail.com and I'll try to explain more of my thoughts on areas of minimalistic wordplay.
