  • yarb But wait! More info at this blog!

    I wonder whether Daniel's a Wordie. Wait...Daniel? Are you here? *looking around suspiciously* Aug 8, 2008

  • chained_bear Googling For Stupidity! The next Olympic event. ;-)

    By the way, and my favorite result was "Wedding Gound Pictures." How hard is it to spell gown? Aug 8, 2008

  • yarb I hope so too, cb--but apparently in olden times it was spelled "gund," which doesn't look promising for the "zounds" pronunciation. And M-W isn't talking unless I pay up, the bastard.

    One amusing aside--run a Google search on this and you'll find every poor sucker who misspelled "ground." Amazing. "Gound-level ozone." "UPS Gound!" "Higher Gound." "Above-gound pools!"

    Eew. Eye stuff all over the place. Aug 7, 2008

  • chained_bear I think (nay, hope) it rhymes with ZOUNDS!. Aug 7, 2008

  • reesetee You guys are freaking me out. Aug 7, 2008

  • yarb Hey, I looked this up to get the pronunciation? And it says "foul matter, especially that secreted by the eyes." Wow! *Any* foul matter?! Like... Specific Excrement ???
    Also, since it's considered obsolete, there's no pronunciation listed. :( Aug 7, 2008

  • chained_bear Yarb: Nope. Just doesn't do the job. It has to be gound. Aug 7, 2008

  • reesetee Yes. Yes, it did, c_b. Methinks I spy a brand-new Wordie going berserk defining words. Welcome, thedayhascome. :-) Aug 7, 2008
