zuccaciyecioglu? That's a lovely name, truly, but do you mind very much if I call you "zucca" for short?
Are you Turkish, by any chance? -
It'll take the whole week to learn it. Thank you for boycotting my GRE! :-)
very nice name, by the way! -
Thanks for asking, Prolagus. This is a Turkish name I made up that means son of ("oglu") a glassware ("zuccaciye") seller ("ci"). The c's are pronounced like 'j' and the g is silent, hence:
Zoo - Jah - Jee - Yeh - Jee - Oh - Loo -
How do you pronounce your username?

zuccaciyecioglu commented on the word quashal
CDT and the Players finally moved in the Northern District of California, pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 17(c), to quash the latest round of subpoenas and the matter was heard by Judge Illston. (The original subpoena, and the motion to quash it that was filed in 2003, aren't before us.) In an oral ruling, Judge Illston quashed the subpoenas. We will refer to this as the Illston Quashal. See Bryan A. Garner, A Dictionary of Modern American Legal Usage 725 (2d ed. 1995).

Let's call it Wordiewhack. The goal is to identify a pair of words that appear on exactly one Wordie list. When you add them, hyphenate them as a pair, such as logarithm-shingles, so as not to destroy the Wordiewhackness of the discrete words. Have fun!

zuccaciyecioglu commented on the word tintinnabulation
Hear the sledges with the bells -
Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night!
While the stars that oversprinkle
All the heavens, seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells -
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.
The Bells, Edgar Allen Poe
