"I can’t eat a sandwich if it is cut any way besides diagonally. When I go to Arby’s (or any other place that typically cuts sandwiches vertically) I specifically ask that they cut the sandwich diagonally. (I also apologize profusely when this happens.)"

Hey arby, where've you been?
-
Quiet, you, or we'll give you something to dontcry about.
-
OK, Sybill.
-
Thanks for your support.
Now I have "Let's Hear It For the Boy" in my head. Damn earworms! -
Sock it to 'em, arby! Let's hear it for jam-free toes!
-
No.. why do you ask?
*is skeptical* -
Do you have toejam, arby?

A lady never tells...whether she has multiple personalities on teh intarwebs.
*sits back and awaits the cringing* -
Arby! Welcome back! I'm sure yarb is feeling like himself again. Or you. I can't tell.
-
PS - Prolagus, are you new? I don't think I know you.
-
Well, we can't have that, can we?
-
Listen, now I'm scared.
-
Arby: please come back. People are starting to think I'm not you, after all.
-
Huzzah!
*loves finding excuses to use that word* -
Oh, Happy Day! Thanks, John!

(And thanks also for the thesaurus.com link, much appreciated!)
-
Awesome, I love it! Thank you dude.

Hi Arby, just added a 'Bartleby All Books' link on the word pages. Thanks for the suggestion!
-
Just read video vampire - Rosser Reeves gets better and better!

I'm so wordless I could take words from Arby.
I'm sorry, but I couldn't help myself. 2 points to the first person to get the reference. -
The RSS feed only delivers news as fast as your feed reader can check for updates (which is generally no faster than once every ten minutes or so). I use RSS for a lot of stuff, but because of the rate of new comments appearing on Wordie I don't really think it's practical for this. I just keep the Recent Comments page open in a tab and refresh it every couple minutes.
-
Yeah, I've always been a little nervous about the RSS feed. Am I signing up for a life-time of wordie spam? (uselessness has listed one new comment. Please log on to see the comment.) (uselessness has listed one new comment. Please log on to see the comment.)(slumry has listed one new comment. Please log on to see the comment.)(uselessness has listed one new comment.

-
Ooh, cool!! Thanks for letting me know. As you can probably tell, I'm a little slow on the latest info - I don't have the RSS feed so I have to manually check in on Wordie periodically to see what's going on.

Arby; I found the info on the author and publication source of my Poetrie: "Infinity". His name is Rosser Reeves. Check out my update on the poem's page. Also see: video vampire.

@danama - ha! I love it. Certainly not feeling "meh" about "Meh!"

arby commented on the list fingernails-on-my-chalkboard
@yarb - ha!
@frogapplause, belatedly - yes, I hate that too, but since "Pacific" is technically a real word (albeit misused in your example), I shan't include it on this list. This list is for words/expressions that just don't exist. (Well, "kerfluffle" is arguable, but I don't like it, I think it should be "kerfuffle".)

My own father refuses to admit that "heighth" is incorrect!! He says because it's "width" and "breadth" that height has to follow suit. And he has a degree from Wharton!

Not to be confused with charnel - or the Pokemon character Charmy the Charmander.

This list is awesome!! I love extra lemurs - like there is some magic number of lemurs it is acceptable to have, but if there's one more, chuck it. (Picturing the cow being hurled on the catapult in The Holy Grail.)

frogapplause - totally! Reminds me of Otter Pops, which the ex and I used to joke were made from 100% pure otters.

PPS strike tag does not appear to be supported in list names on Zeitgeist - see my list, which reads fine on the actual list page, but on the home page the word "Strike" shows up.

This is the name of a woman I went to college with. I asked her if I could use her name for a band and she said yes. \o/

I don't even know if there is an "ants" tag but there should be! It would render that cheesy MS word animated effect. You know, the one with the ants.

arby commented on the word What's That Blue Thing Doing There
Sorry, I thought I was so clever but I got it wrong. Nothin' to see here, people, move along.

arby commented on the user feedback
Well I'm one of the few who would notice - I was the one who begged you to add it, because it cracked me up so much. Maybe it's just me who automatically wants to end any sentence beginning "take this x and.." with "shove it" - it's no reflection of my feelings towards x itself. Totally silly, of course you want to put real functional items in the drop-down. Maybe we could link "shove it" to a page saying "Why would you want to shove this word? Don't you like it? Be nicer to words! Unless it's irregardless. You are allowed to shove that evil non-word."

I found a bug! My newly added "word", What's That Blue Thing Doing There?, comments link yields a "Disallowed key characters in global data" message. But only on the direct link - if you go to the regular word page and then click "Comments" it removes the question mark and works fine.

You got rid of the "and shove it" option in the "take this word and..." drop-down! What happened, too many people report the fact that it did nothing as a bug?

Anaconda captured in Florida park
People at the park near Orlando had noticed ducks and geese disappearing, and had suspected an alligator. The 12-foot snake was taken to a serpentarium. - LA Times

YOU SHH!!
Nov 23, 2009
arby commented on the word untface
I don't think so. It should be cuntfa but that really is sort of still breaking the rules of the game. The point is it's almost innocent-sounding without the last two letters, and cuntfa, while weird, is not exactly innocent-sounding.

A ha ha ha you actually added "Shove it" to the "Take this word and..." menu!!! I love it! That rhymed!!

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

Yeah, that's the ticket! Or shtiggeth, as the case may be. Someone should invent the Lovecraft equivalent of Pig Latin.

The more economical alternative to mofo.

That's one cheap-as mof.

Ew. Also reminds me of the Clapper. Is there a lardoff?
Nov 22, 2009
arby commented on the word shibboleth
Totally agree about the Lovecraft thing! Why is it so Lovecraftian?? Is there some other 'craft coinage that is similar?
Nov 22, 2009
arby commented on the word shibboleths
Why plural? Is there no such thing as shibboleth?
Nov 22, 2009
arby commented on the word PHOBOS
Oh - it was because I looked at the examples and they looked quite spammy. Perhaps I do not understand how the examples are obtained? Are we just Googling with case sensitivity on?

arby commented on the word SME
More corporate-speak bullshit: acronym for "Subject Matter Expert".

Replacing with SME - might as well get some benefit out of this capitalization kerfuffle.
