Oh, ta 'zuzu.

Gangerh,
We've discovered two ways to get in touch with other word*i*s. The first way is to write a comment on one of their lists. The second is to go to their "dashboard" (or profile page), scroll down past all of their recent comments, and look for the orange "comments for..." box about halfway down the page. -
Help! How would you explain jean dimmock to zeke? I'm afraid I've made a mess of it.
-
Your clever, amusing comments over on oobleck have gotten you a nomination for creating a new list. We'd love to see more letter parts.
-
I would be honored if you added the first word to my STF dominoes list.
-
You cannot escape the charge that you have previously engaged in the amazing pastime that is IDENTIFY THE WORDIE.
You are therefore prime target material for inviting to IDENTIFY THE WORDIENIK.
The whole of the bit of Wordnik that joins in on this would be truly honoured should you participate this time round.
Easily find the right page right now because it is currently the most commented on list shown on the Community page.
-
It sounds like it will end up somewhere like that eventually--in the meantime, you're on my list! ;-)
-
Hah! Ta, 'zuzu!.
Yes a list would do it but that relies on people knowing it exists and going to it. I was thinking it might be better served as a Zeitgeist page feature or some such. -
I've just subscribed to your "Sweet Tooth Fairy of the Day." (Yay!)
We could make a list of other wordnikians who have lists--I'm there (twice), and I know Prolagus has one. -
:-)
-
Dunno, 'gus, but good, innit?
Sshhhh! Don't tell John - he might spoil it. -
Did you intentionally leave an html tag open somewhere in your profile, or is this the most interesting bug?
-
Are you still around? If so, there's a great fuflun/ pie fight going on if you're interested.
:) -
Where zero is a rather large number.

The new STF illustration is yummy-looking!
As for emails, you might try checking the notification settings by going to "Edit profile" above, then going to "Edit preferences." -

Thanks for the comment. Let me know when the revised site is ready.
-
Thanks, g!
-
What??
*is completely outside* -
*giggles* at the inside joke.

Are you thinking of Richard/Hammond?
-
Sometimes, you sound vaguely like Richard Hammond.
-
Thanks, gangerh! I was hoping to use that list as an enticement (I won't say "as bait") for a couple of potential recruits who were inspired by your other lists.

Boston Global Warming.
(I know, I know...cheating.) -
Heh. Boston Globe Theatre.

Boston Globe artichokes.
-
Hi gangerh! I sent you an email, but am also leaving you a comment in case my email was spaminated ... can I entice you into giving me a quote or two about sweet tooth fairies? I'm hoping to write about them for the Boston Globe.
-
Sorry to hear that we still can't hear your barragecasts on the pronuncistation. :(
-
Welcome back!
-
gangerh, can you hear me? John came in and negotiated your release.
-
:D
-
don't forget short closure sweet tooth fairies such as run dry run. there is a separate list of them
-
'gerh, the volume is quite low on your pronunciations.
-
Thanks, 'applause.

Thanks for adding the beautiful baize to my list.
-
Haha, that's not a bad animal to be associated with! Minus the germs of course.
-
oh wow, I didn't even think of that sense of the word. Thanks, G!
-
Hey, everyone looks up to a microlight flying over, rolig!
-
Thanks for including me among your bananas, G. I suppose I always hoped my light would be a little bigger, not a macrolight, of course, but, well, something noticeable. *sigh*
-
Hey! I like it! Cheers mate!
(I won't say more cause I don't want to over-egg it ;) -
Hey, thanks. I’m honored. :-D
-
Interesting, gangerh. I like it! :)
-
HaHa gangerh!!! I get it now! Gee, it took me long enough, but Underscores aren't very quick at the best of times. ;-)
-
Actually PU, there's no real rule about where you reply. Everyone decides for themselves where they will carry on their conversations and most of us seem to chage our minds pretty regularly.
And maybe you should put off waiting for that comment for a few days, hmm? Don't want to seem too motivated or anything. Sit back, relax. -
Hey gangerh! I'm still waiting for the comment on procrastination, then I figured I'm not supposed to reply to you on my own profile. whoops, teehee...well, I'm still sorta new here.
-
Hey, shane wanna'by, would love to bat to your bowling! As I'm a fan of yourn, then, you've a good chance of your flip hitting! (What are you doing retiring from Test cricket when you do THAT in the IPL?)
'Twas the first match of the season here Saturday just gone and am still getting selected for the 2nd team. At 63, wow! Us 137 for 7, them 131 all out with 4 overs to spare. Very exciting game and I scored 6. So without me it would have been a tie! HaHa! -
I was thinking of you today. It's early in the season, the training sessions are underway but a few have been washed-out. I sit at my desk, trying to get the leggies going as I mentally compose my next Wordie post. Ok so far, let's try the top-spinner. Hmmmm, a bit loopy but might bowl head-in-the-air johnnies. It's hot here, still 27C at midnight. Let's have a go at the wrong 'un. Nice, I like it! Hey, this season I might even try to bowl a flipper ...
U4+@Y&^&8yu%$#!!!!!
Even seen the flip hit the fan?

Oh no! I've done the same as ruzuzu!
Except that you'd all have guessed me correctly as brilliant. Hah again!

Brilliant, yarb.
I'm in. Put me down. Most people do.

gangerh commented on the list identify-the-wordienik
No 'zuzu - you're not supposed to put your word on here! Don't think I'd have got it anyway - wouldn't have put you down for a 'whatever'. Hah!

gangerh commented on the list identify-the-wordienik
Have emailed yarb asking him to let you know what he wants to happen.
Mar 5, 2013
gangerh commented on the list identify-the-wordienik
Hah! 'zu, you are a caution!
You're probably right if enough 'niks have the appetite.
While not written in stone it seems that the winner of the previous game is mooted as the runner of the next.
Perhaps yarb - the owner of the trophy special edition sweet tooth fairy coffee mug
"molotov cocktail waitress" - should therefore be sounded out.
But if no-'nik else wishes to run it, then I am happy to do it - gangerhnam-style of course.

gangerh commented on the word jean dimmock
Oh dear, ruzuzu, yes. (Re your comment Feb 11 2012).
The origins are missing and it's not OK for them to be shrouded in mystery, for they are far more interesting than mere mystery.
Jean Dimmock is a character in Jasper Fforde's wonderfully absurd book 'The Fourth Bear'.
Or rather, she features in the book in an extract quoted from 'The Bumper Book Of Berkshire Records 2004 Edition'.
And I quote -
'MOST CONFUSING WORD ASSOCIATION EXAMINEE
Jean Dimmock of Newbury, UK, holds the record for the most random answers in a routine word association test. Among her many utterly haphazard responses were such gems as "Bird? Kneecap", "Banana? Bowling Trophy" and "Great Crested Grebe? Disraeli." Her responses are spontaneous and unrehearsed, and make for much interesting study. She also holds the record for the most bizarre interpretations of a Rorschach ink-blot test, variously describing the meaningless and largely discredited patterns as "A dog doing push-ups with an ant in attendance" and "Coco the clown in conversation with the Pope".'

Can anyone tell me what's the word for this kind of contraction? Example: when the word goopoo is derived from 'good idea, poor planning/execution'. Is it a figure of speech of some kind?
