is it? I thought yesterday's was but it seemed like most people hated it.
and are you saying that to announce you finished?
Yesterday's was a bear for me.
I seem to recall you catching up with and passing me fairly quickly
Okay, it was a bear at the start.
isn't a witch a hexist?
I thought that if you could go in again you should be able to go out again...
yep, tried it
ruist - one who is against or for ruru? I don't know
still don't know why a bull isn't a go5
found a 9! I can keep playing! I don't think it's the doozy ru mentioned though.
I'm still missing a 9..
It smacked me in the face after I typed that.
haha
53 left after first pass. that middle row is the worst.
Hi Bea and Carla
howdy scrabbs
Hello, Scrabs.
CArla, I took your mom's advice and did not do laundry or clean house yesterday.
me either!
Me either.
I did move things around in my neglected sewing room. Hoping to get back there today.
yeah, I taped a pattern together and taped some updates on another one
there is a big independent pattern maker industry, and the patterns are .pdf files.
I made my granddaughter a curtain for her bedroom this summer. Then they moved and her new bedroom has two windows. I wasn't sure I could remember where I bought the fabric, but since Mr. Bea keeps track of all that, I found the store and they actually had more of the fabric.
Are they clothing patterns?
wow, that's awesome of him. glad you found it.
the two I put updates on were leggings, the one I taped together was a little backpack purse pattern
He has kept track of every penny coming in or going out for 21 years.
most of the clothing patterns come with the option of having them printed on big paper like blueprints, so I either drive to a UPS store I know will print them or order them online from a place in Richmond.
is the x xe something?
I have so many projects. I keep telling myself, "One bite at a time."
xe5/22
Yes, xe5.22
I was saying here yesterday I'm going to finish a quilt a month since I have 10 or so quilt tops my grandmother left.
I've got some I'm takiing to a longarmer. They are just too big for me to deal with.
4th column i stats?
4*4
ir44
bea, your granddaughter might like the little backpack purse. it is a free pattern. I have an email in my profile if you want it, I will send to you.
is ig it?
???
mlfan, ir4/4
hokie how big are the quilt a month going to be?
ty hokie
oh duh ty
well, my grandmother didn't always make certain sizes. I washed all these when I got them like 2 years ago and hung them out. they
they're probably full size
I did do a king on this machine this past summer, bea. I think I put a pic on my instagram. It wasn't easy, but was doable, so I think these will be fine.
wondering how many days will go by in the new year before the volcano shows up.. hi Babble buddies
well, it was a close one today, aloy
Alas, we must wait, but *honk*honk*.
lol, yes Scrabbs.. honk honk to start!
Maybe a day when we have an A in the grid.
LOL
we won't get anymore a's until your computer is fixed bea :D
that would make sense!
I have finished all the E's except the 3rd row and can only find 3!
My computer works fine. I just can't send or respond to emails.
oh, well would you like me to post the link to the tiny backpack instead of emailing me?
That E has your missing 9, Caral.
hmmm
eu4 and 5--do you have those already?
yes, those are 2 I have and er4
You can send it to me in email, Carla. I'll get it.
I added my email to my profile. Thanks.
ok, done
Bea, I'm going to check out your FB site re the house; our home in Oh was built in 1865, so we know how it is to live in an oldie.. look forward to seeing what you have done.
well, I'm going to have to save the last 38 for later. mr. homie is planning a bike ride for us. supposed to be mid 60s today. TTFN
enjoy, hokie!
76 left. Maybe I will return tonight.
all the snow gone, Scrabbs?
The rain has been annoying and destructive but it snowed again this morning. We need another big snowstorm.
I know you love it..
Bea, it's not safe to have an email address in your profile here.
greetings, babblers
weird that you can re-en5, but you can't re-ex4
lol..yes
And you can relive, but you can't re - ex5
i suppose even if you reincarnate, you wouldn't have stopped ex5ing, and then started again, you would just continue to ex5
you can also re-e5 (go in) but you cannot re-e4 (go out)
Anyone have the stats on the U?
that's... what i just said lol
ur6/21
Oh duh, sorry Hurshy.

name that foreign noun! french for war
guerre
ding ding ding!!!
:)
name that proper foreign noun! french detective agency
i like this grid much more than yesterday's
Surete (someone reads a lot of Hercule Poirot)
ding ding ding!!!
who doesn't read Poirot books? and yet plays Babble? this seems fairly unthinkable
but then maybe it is like woody allen, seemed unthinkable to some yesterday that others of us have not seen his movies
Check in with Nan. She surprises us daily.
what do the 9s start with?
eu 9,90 and sh 9,60
that's what the odds suggested they would be!
ok got the sh, that was silly since i had the similar 8, i should have gotten that already
haven't a clue on the eu though
morewords to the rescue!
which brings me down to the dreaded 14
in a very unusual distribution by length
2 - 4 - 2 - 2 - 4 - 0
ooh i got an 8!
and another 8!
with a 7!
fours done
whoops excuse me
not that anyone seems to be around, lol
Good morning

Hi hurshy ... how are you doing?

hirs
scuse me, that is dumb since i have all the 4s anyway lol
Evening!! I've got the eu9 but not seeing the sh9 - any chance of an idiot hint
it's a bit ridiculous
which of these satins do you think is the sh9 of them all?
I could use a hint for the eu9
Stupid, stupid word! It ends in "not day".
Agree with that whole batch of words, hurshy.
FW. Any clues needed? Have to say there were some definite bull#$!@ words today.

Another anti0semitic slur out in three forms,
I either don't know them or don't have them
I think these archie bunker type antisemitic slurs are just funny
they're so out of date they're not even offensive.
stats?
Out of what date?
sh7 and 8
i.e. you ask any high school kid they won't even know what they mean
how are they out of date?
and sh9 as well
I have sh8/9. thought they meant shiny. dictionary.com agrees with me.
You ask a high school kid anything and they want know what you mean,
untrue.
I'm 47 and have never heard that
they are very street smart and know lots of lingo. this is lingo, and they don't know it
Interesting - aI had forgotten about thgat term (and I am old). The dictionary says it is the shiny def and the offensive term is spelled with a Y only
they probably know the k word. that has stuck.
I've heard it used currently, but ur right, not by high school kids.
26 to go.. I don't see much light on the horizon
i.e. the horizon is not very sh7.
Enable is so out of date
still 31 here. did you finish the G? still need one
The Enable dictionary was created without trying to eliminate offensive terms of any kind, so it's fairly even-handed when it comes to offensiveness (bearing in mind historical bias).
3 Gs missing
enable has a million archaic words
I live for the day when people start adding YO to UR
gillie I have to say your avatar is my all time favorite
that's one thing I cannot get behind. it's literally 2 extra letters. and maybe it's fine for You Are but most people use it for your and you're.
Oh, thank you. I don't know if it was photo-shopped or where it is from, I'm afraid.
the gu5.16 and gu5.18 are unusual
I have one gu5/16
but it's usual
I have one gu5/16 I don't consider unusual
Mr Clean leaves a SH6 where you clean.
OK it's not unuusal and it is the only one - lol
ah got the 5/18
I am missing the 5/18 though
just missing one g now
we've had the 5/18 recently in a grid with a Q because that's a word too
Gs done :)
Apparently there is a movement that thug is a racist word. I heard a podcast where people were complaining about the guy using thug to describe guys that murdered someone and then kidnapped and murdered a 14 yo kid that witnessed it.
I don't know the color of the offenders but if you can't use thug to describe them, then WTF is wrong with this country
yes thug has racist overtones these days
https://www.yourdictionary.com/
why on earthg would it be considered racist?
https://www.yourdictionary.com/sh7
I can't explain it all - it's just the way it is.
I guess some people just call black people thugs so now you can't use the word legitimately at all.
I grew up hearing the term "union thug". Considering some unions were doing everything they could to remain all white at the time that's quite a transformation of the term.
wonder what you would call neo nazis then
exeerhrest
I agree with tessagram.
but you can still call white people and snack items that cheese go on crackers
Lots of coding now. A thug is usually a youth oc color . YOU Can be an "addict", have "mental health issues" or be a "thug" or a looter. If you're a white racists well, there are good people on both sides.
so what should we call street gangs that murder people and then murder witnesses?
gangstas. oops
ties
sorry
Sadly, censoring words doesn't eliminate racism.
I think it makes people more aware of how hurtful their speech can be
True, but it can get awkward, since words are always changing, and sometimes you need to discuss them even if you don't like them.
I don't know, do you think racists really care how hurtful they are?
ppl who are not racists sometimes say hurtful things w/o realizing how hurtful they are
ppl I grew up with used terms like "shvartze" without realizing that they were demeaning
so, unintentionally because they don't know a regular word is suddenly offensive to someone?
never heard that either
it just means black in yiddish/german
but by using that word in the middle of an english sentence it becomes pejorative
like the italian pejorative for black ppl.
I'm a haole, a Shikse and a WASP, and anyone who wants to call me that is OK. Why would I care.
used frequently in the sopranos.
It does baffle me a bit that Enable takes the "n" word, but not negro.
22 to go and making no progress. I'm listing.
I think Negro is capitalized
30 here but haven't really been looking. Did you finish the H? 3 left here.
No, I don't think so.
(negro, that it)
H done. yes
*is*
I agree with French Toast. I'm a Mick, a Shiske, a WASP and others. It's really time to stop being so sensitive about words in the grid.
When I was little, living on Oahu, and other kids called me haole, I didn't care. I said I'm Haole and proud of it. It just means white person, but is considered derogtary.
There are similar puzzle games that do use dictionaries that have been edited to avoid being offensive, including Microsoft Word Games, so people can always try those.
Enable was produced very cheaply, which doesn't really allow for the elimination of offensive terms, or even for all of the non-words.
hello all....can someone please clue the eu 8?
don't have yet
hi pen
hi carla...
eu + high point tile + vowel + misspelling of not day.
went to the list. currently struggling to find a 4.
thx, FT
ty French....i was close....
YW pen!
te6/7 my last 2
it's Lil Monkey, right?....or am I misremembering?
Yes I am lil*monkey :)
thought so!
I'm working the list backward today
REal name: Laurie
which te6/7 Harry???
Do you have the sneakers?
It should be said that insulting words never carry much weight when they are directed at a privileged group.
ty FT - one left :)
DONE
congrats, harry...
silly me I was looking for a 6/7 combo
plural of te6 shoes
boy that he 7/52 is weird....and no definition....
there is a satanic band out of NH with that name. Their music will give you a headache - you can look them up on facebook.
Collin's Dictionary defines it as "the art or power of bringing magical or preternatural power to bear or the act or practice of attempting to do so."
think i will pass.....also don't "do" Facebook....
Sorry, Collins English Dictionary (no apostrophe).
You can sometimes find words by googling when dictionary.com doesn't have them.
well have a good night everybody. see you tomorrow!
Sorry - I should step out of the chat now.
yes, Gillie....i have done that many times...
goodnight harry....
thanks for the clue on the he 7. It's German for witchcraft
great, 4 RE left, 2 from each side. this is going to be fun.
retinn
oops
thanks, Carla!
well it's not a word, no need to thank me
but it helped me find one
oh good
clue for the X?
it's an african ground squirrel. glad I could help. :D
lolg. thx
kinda like numbers before 1 mixed with a copy machine. ends in not them, but **
Latin, I guess
sounds like it
clue for the top row E?
nm
it's spooky
er4/4
thx!
can't find my last word.....the first in 8/65?...it's awful to know the first five letters and still not be able to find the word....
it's almost identical to the 2nd
initial letters?
double cons
no what does it start with
ty.....i am done....
I saw a clue earlier - bury dinosaur with small arms
it's "in"
well done. down to 7 here.
great clue --thanks Jax!
going to move on and come back to the R's
stats for the 9s?
eu9 is a doozy to quote ru this morning
Sh9/60
the other is sh9 and I have just learned tonight that is an anti-semitic slur
eu9 is a mineral, if that helps
sh9 means the most sleek
or the most shiny
heading out....goodnight all...
thx for the clues --got the rock, now trying to monkey the other
sh9 isn't really strange, but I don't think it's used much
Uses the superlative ending
that is an odd word
and I didn't know it was a slur, either.
I think only the simpler version is a slur.
(ending in "y")
I've never heard of it as a slur either
yep.. I think it's related to schön, Yuiddish sheen
sorry, penalty box for me
LOL
Kaplan the ... was a bit worked up about it.
Kaplan?
Kaplan the Magne - he was here earlier
yes, and harry said it was outdated but she disagreed, and I said I've never heard of it and I'm almost 50
Oh. I haven't met him het.
yet
Kaplan the Great? wow
well in my soon to be 55 years, this is new to me
gonna take a dinner break -- hope to bbl. Have a good night!
apparently my husband knows the word though
Good night!
my husband had never heard of it either
and good night!
well, I had to look up my last 2. never heard of the one but the other was to take an exam again. ridiculous.
I'm still stuck on two in8 words that should be easy, since I know the first 5 letters.
well, I looked both those up earlier but the 2nd one ends in gender (or used to be)
That is what morewords is for
Yeah, I've got them now - had to look them up. Actually the first one I was missing should really have been easy.
in8/65 pls?
First one has a double consonant and ends with the high-score letter.
the x? that is tye second one
ah fw at last night all
Almost seems like Kaplan the Magne drops in just to complain about the slurs. He should realize by now that they
...they're not going to be taken out of the dictionary.
