i started watching Netflix's show "The Irregulars" last night. i was highly distressed to hear the following words in Victorian London: "boyfriend", "racist", "posh", "psycho", and "clone".

8:44 am

I sometimes wonder about writers. I catch this all the time. Language from the future being used in stories about the past.

8:44 am

I'm more horrified to read news articles where the write uses acronyms to make points

8:45 am

writer

8:45 am

and the guy who created the show said it was his "dream project" that he'd been pitching for years. you'd think in such a case more effort would have been put into it. no wonder it got cancelled after one season.

8:47 am

what do you mean ruru? can you give an example of that being done?

8:47 am

not sure if i've seen that

8:48 am

even on the CNN news site .. it's appalling .. on top of really poor editing and grammar. What happened to education of the english language

8:50 am

Os Overturned!

8:53 am

I see acronyms used in journalism all the time. It reeks of poor use of the English language. The saddest place to see acronyms is on resumes. There is a whole generation coming up that has no clue about business writing.

8:53 am

clue for those tr 7/8 combos pls

IKR

8:53 am

got the first i think

8:54 am

the first tr7 makes me think of the dormouse's story about the girls who lived in a tr7 well

8:54 am

the second rhymes with the woman Jane Eyre thought Mr Rochester wanted to marry

8:54 am

ty-i got the finance one

8:55 am

Wouldn't the use of acronyms follow the use in texting?

8:56 am

well it depends on the acronym and context. i'm sure it's sensible for articles to mention the CDC and the WHO and stuff. normally using the whole name first before switching, but if it's well known enough i wouldn't quibble too much with omitting that step.

8:57 am

just read one with NTA at the end of a sentence. Like we're all supposed to know what NTA is

8:57 am

Not The Asshole? (from Reddit)?

8:57 am

Good morning, y'all. Clue for the CA9, please?

8:58 am

oho, there's a ca9?

8:58 am

The point is, not everyone knows what acronyms mean. Not even often used ones like CDC and WHO. If you want to communicate effectively, you use entire words.

8:58 am

NM. Just monkied it.

8:59 am

I still stand by my original guess that DH stands for dickhead and not dear husband.

8:59 am

the thing i dislike is when i follow a link to the website of a local news organization, which will mention town names and things, but have trouble figuring out what state they are based in

8:59 am

Bah ha ha ha ha!

9:01 am

well Judi, would you mind cluing it since you found it?

9:01 am

ca9...to make something fit for a place of ferris wheels and sideshows, plural

9:01 am

To form or turn into flesh = CA9

9:02 am

Molly's clue is better.

9:02 am

ty!

9:02 am

53 left in the bucket. Most likely will not finish today. Uhg.

9:02 am

they worked well as a team

9:02 am

The whole flesh thing made me think of Frankenstein

9:09 am

finally found the k's.. jeez

9:10 am

which Ks do you mean? i am missing one

9:10 am

guessing you need ki7

9:11 am

ok thanks

9:11 am

got it!

9:12 am

You would think as often as we have had K's lately, we would know them all. =)

9:15 am

c's and p's to go.. whew. kind of stuck though

9:16 am

Ru, I loved the video of Buddy. He's a lucky dog.

9:17 am

:D thanks.. he's having a blast here.. lots of exercise and tlc

9:17 am

funny, i think i've never heard the phrase "lucky dog" used to refer to an actual dog

9:22 am

I'm just as lucky as he is Bea, I'm nothing without a dog

oh snap, ruru used an acronym

9:32 am

Es Exiled!

9:32 am

Ns Nailed!

9:34 am

phantoms: pinnacle and/or pinochle

9:35 am

So glad things are going so well with your new baby!! :-)

9:41 am

i just saw a clue about jane arye i just looked it up and nothig starting with tr came up?

9:42 am

That is because Hurshy said reminds her of, which could mean sounds like, which it does

9:42 am

that's because it RHYMES WITH that character

9:42 am

ergo it does not start with the same letters

molly can you please acknowledge ru's acronym and mark this date? 🤣

9:43 am

got them

9:43 am

Ergo ipso facto columbo oreo (Bones fans will recognize this)

9:44 am

TLC...tender loving care...Ru...June 29, 2021

hmm, saw all the Bones episodes and don't remember. I'm guessing Booth said it?

9:45 am

i'm Struggling with S

9:45 am

nbt

9:45 am

No, it was the episode where she thought her victim looked like her and the custodian kept saying that to her

ah

9:46 am

I just re-watched Bones. I miss that show. Especially the Zach years.

9:47 am

i miss that show too

9:48 am

Some episodes were really hokey though, like when they went undercover as bowlers

9:48 am

nest nets

9:48 am

Cole coles!

9:49 am

as the seasons went on the show did become somewhat lame at times

yeah, I loved Zach. I hated when they made him a psycho. spoiler alert!

9:49 am

whew I thought your wrote boner

oh yeah, I forgot their bowler names

not my fave

9:53 am

cow and where they live in the grid today

hmm, sh5fin not a word

no field and no pasture

9:56 am

100 words down

just passed halfway here

but gotta go

9:59 am

morning all

9:59 am

another sizeable one...cool

10:00 am

morn Mool!!

10:00 am

good morning all!

10:00 am

hey dolly, happy Tuesday

10:00 am

rani

10:00 am

and to you too!!

10:01 am

a rainy Tuesday here

10:01 am

sunny here, about 80 or so today

10:02 am

almost 80 here and quite humid with rain :)

10:02 am

yeah, not so humid here :)

10:08 am

Heat index of 102 by 2 PM today. BLECH

10:08 am

ooohhhh that's miserable

10:09 am

That's awful, Molly. Only about 100 here today, but dry.

10:10 am

Bea and Carla have me remembering Breaking Bad when Jesse referred to a barn as a cow house : D

10:11 am

Yeah, I predict by noon the hair is going UP

10:11 am

That was such a great TV show.

10:12 am

My kids had to twist my arm to watch it. I figured a show about a drug-dealing man dying of cancer would be depressing. I'm glad they kept pushing.

10:12 am

I never got into Breaking Bad

10:13 am

my husband loved it but it's just not my thing

10:24 am

I've binge watched it 4 times!!

10:25 am

I'm thinking about watching it again.

10:32 am

It was the first show I ever bingewatched. Didn't start until the last season... watched the first four seasons in about two weeks. did little else!

10:35 am

It is so much better to watch that way. Having to wait from week to week to see what happened was killer.

10:35 am

true.. a show like that in particular

10:46 am

I would think you'd avoid Breaking anything right now ori :D

10:47 am

hello again

10:48 am

hey ML

10:49 am

hah, I have a broken foot currently, do not recommend

10:49 am

hey mool

10:49 am

the AC isn't even doing much, it's been on all morning and stuck at 82

10:49 am

i dont agree with sh 7/56 but we have had words like that many times before

10:49 am

61 here and lovely outside

10:49 am

Trur, Ru :D

10:49 am

shirl stuck at 82???? brr

10:50 am

at the moment it is 80 here but its supposed to get up to 90..not sure about humidity

10:50 am

Brr? 82 degrees is hardly brr. I'd get that unit checked Shirl.

10:51 am

it should be checked agreed

10:51 am

i set it to 78 cause i'm cheap and don't like it too cold anyway, but yes, it's not good

10:52 am

mine is set at 68

10:52 am

we have ours at 77 and i always wear a sweatshirt or a jacket when its on

10:53 am

for babble today been stuck at 85 lol

10:54 am

85 to find?

10:54 am

yep, 84 now

10:54 am

maybe i'll quit when i get to 82

10:54 am

congrats

10:55 am

funny. I'm at 82. But not ready to quit yet

10:55 am

re Breaking Bad, if you haven't watched Better Call Saul, try that one. It's on a par quality-wise and deeper in some ways. It does help if you have watched BB but it's not mandatory to have done so.

10:55 am

attaway doren.. don't let this crappy little grid get the best of you

10:55 am

:)

10:56 am

okay i gve up clue for the tu word pls?

10:56 am

look at the score, mlf

10:56 am

it's tupak's brother

10:56 am

or it's kindalike the little wooden thing you might stick in your mouth

10:57 am

he has a twin lol

10:58 am

Sometimes it's like who's on first in here

10:58 am

no who's on third

10:58 am

Exactly

11:00 am

gotta get to work now.. have fun you guys

11:00 am

bye ruru

11:01 am

Have a nice day, ru.

11:03 am

How's your arm, ori?

11:03 am

It's getting better, Bea. Thanks.

11:06 am

good to hear ori. Are you still doing the spelling bee?

11:07 am

Yes, Dorens. I finally made Queen Bee the other day :D

11:09 am

congratulations. After several of them, i've decided to be happy with genius.. too much time to do QB. Funny to see intel here today. not a word, but accepted in Sam's world

11:09 am

*Wonders if we need to bow, or curtsey or something

11:09 am

God Save The Queen!

11:09 am

A curtsey would be appropriate :D

11:09 am

I normally settle for amazing.

11:10 am

Is this a game on FB?

11:10 am

I'm sure I wouldn't get past drone

11:10 am

I think it's New York Times, Bea

11:11 am

Much less time consuming! But genius is not so unattainable. Don't need to use Shunn, Kevin and the others. Sometimes helps to read peoples' clues though. New York Times Game, Bea

11:13 am

sure you would Molly

11:27 am

ok I made it to 20. Taking a break

11:34 am

i got the 9

11:36 am

Our front door handle was so hot yesterday, you couldn't touch it unprotected

12:01 pm

12:02 pm

hi....it's 90 here and hotter inland....

12:02 pm

hi Harry....

12:02 pm

car thermometer hit 101 on the way back

12:03 pm

and yet I'm just burning more fossil fuels keeping everybody cool here. it will get worse and worse.

12:03 pm

yup....played two hours of tennis this morning indoors....hot but tolerable....

12:03 pm

I wonder where those in climate change denial are now?

12:04 pm

friday we may not hit 70 though. sounds glorious

12:04 pm

and the ocean was FREEZING

12:05 pm

Hah!

12:05 pm

12:05 pm

i remember as a kid that my feet were numb when i went swimming in the ocean mid June....

12:06 pm

my legs were wobbly on the way out of the water

12:06 pm

ocean temp here today is 58....

12:06 pm

yikes!

12:08 pm

12:18 pm

same point count, I just monkeyed it.

12:18 pm

other than the t, I don't even know where to start mael

12:19 pm

I'm assuming it is a tr

tr + another word for a pain with an extra letter towards the end

12:20 pm

ty bea got it

12:20 pm

ty bea....done with those Ts....

12:20 pm

ty bea -- wonder if it is a misspelling of the syrupy stuff

12:21 pm

12:21 pm

defined as an exhausting effort...

12:21 pm

first pass done. 81 to go.

12:42 pm

Tx again!

12:42 pm

ty peri

12:42 pm

yw

12:45 pm

with all the other weird things that appear, there is no hifi?

12:46 pm

and I know there was usually a hyphen in there, but that also doesn't seem to make any difference elsewhere

12:52 pm

donw to 86 now but going grid blind

12:57 pm

60 to go....

12:59 pm

Been watching teniis, Une?

1:14 pm

Yes!!

1:14 pm

Yes!!

1:18 pm

Hi all. Still cant find the 9. Would love a great clue. Especially for the beginning.

molly gave a great clue for the beginning but I never saw a clue for the ending

1:25 pm

Nope. Cant get that ca 9…….help!!!!!!!!!!!

ca 9 builds off the ca 4/5 + when someone looks at your driver's license it ver***** your identity

thanks, luv

1:40 pm

rehi

moo!

just finished, any clues needed?

1:44 pm

hey hoke, happy some day in the middle or towards the middle of the week

taco tuesday isn't it?

1:44 pm

congrats luv

well done, luv

thanks

1:45 pm

16 left here

not thor's day, even though he's in the grid

101 left here

1:45 pm

a lot easier than yesterday

1:46 pm

though I do have 6x7 and 4x8 remaining

I toured a Cherokee village this morning and the weapons guy said atlatl several times. I was like, ha! I know that word!

1:47 pm

ooh, though technically the cherokee wouldn't have used that term I would imagine, I think it's greek

yeah, I wondered about that

1:48 pm

oh, nope...it was from Aztecan

1:48 pm

Which are Aztecs, which lived in Mexico

1:48 pm

so there you go, linguistic lesson of the day

the Cherokee traded with tribes up to New Brunswick and down to Machu Picchu so maybe they picked it up from the Aztecs.

1:50 pm

yeah, that would make sense...so then atlatl would be correct

1:51 pm

machu pichu would be a hike, they really went down that far huh?

that's what they said

1:53 pm

well, have found two words :)

have found 6

1:55 pm

nice

1:55 pm

1-2-2-5-4

1:56 pm

so want cholesterol in this grid :)

ooh, 5 7's and 4 8's?

1:57 pm

yeah...although I just found another 7

1:59 pm

TT RR CCC K H SS TT

24-53-20-16-10

1:59 pm

a lot of 5s there :)

oops, 23

2:00 pm

makes more sense

2:01 pm

ah, found a 6/7 combo

2:01 pm

and another 7

nice. had to move inside due to rain. so still 90 left here.

2:08 pm

About 80 here and sunny

2:09 pm

TT CCC H SS TT left

still have 6 left on that top T. I've heard there are a couple of weird sets.

2:12 pm

well I have no weird ones off that top T

2:13 pm

there's one pair that is used to describe batches of votes, that isn't that common, but still not what I'd consider weird

2:14 pm

I assume there's another couple that are longish from that t

2:14 pm

yep, found it...and it was odd

2:16 pm

disappointed that sharkfin doesn't work :)

2:20 pm

did I see a call for a k 7 earlier?

2:21 pm

I have the weapon weilders -- is there another?

hey, I said the same about sharkfin earlier!

2:24 pm

There is a ki7 also

2:32 pm

First ch7 please?

2:35 pm

Slaughter house, Une.

2:37 pm

Tx!!

2:49 pm

Ends in --- can.

2:52 pm

i was staring at that clue trying to make k****can, lol

2:52 pm

You're welcome. I'm going to list soon.

2:55 pm

I just monkeyed the ca9. It looks like it should mean what happens to you if you run off to run a tilt-a-whirl.

2:59 pm

i just saw a clue for a ch word slaughter house..as in the movie or another name for or something else?

this board might tr7 me today

3:00 pm

thank you, you're just helping me :D

3:58 pm

3:59 pm

1-1-0-1-3

12-10-13-6-3

3:59 pm

ok - ty mool - the light bulb is getting dimmer :D

4:00 pm

hagd everyone -- think I need to stand under a cool shower for a while -- wonder if they make waterproof e-readers?

4:00 pm

no worries, clues that are very clear for one, can be the opaquest of grey for others

4:01 pm

just hit 98 outside and still climbing -- the a/c can't keep up.

4:01 pm

ick

4:01 pm

we had that a couple of weeks ago

4:01 pm

I suppose that is well over 100 in the sunshine

4:02 pm

hagd everyone = back at the flip hopefully

keep it cool, nan

4:04 pm

ah, found an 8

4:04 pm

CCC S T

T2 R3 C7 O2 K4 N2 H4 L7 I F2 S2 P3 T R4 T E N H2. I still have a lot of problems

4:06 pm

ah

4:06 pm

guessing the f is 5/6 combo

4:06 pm

did you get the e8 before?

I have a f5/6 combo that's a quidditch move

yes, have an e8

4:07 pm

no, different 5/6 combo for f

4:07 pm

they your e is probably a 4

4:08 pm

actually, s6 is the definition for f5 :)

I don't have s6 either

4:09 pm

funny that you don't have that given that you have e8

oh, I do have S6. LOL

ok, finished the F!

4:09 pm

perhaps you should shower :)

4:10 pm

woot

4:10 pm

the e is likely a 4

yep, I thought the e4 was a phantom, but it's' there

4:11 pm

and your n's...probably different words, guessing perhaps a 6 and a 7..not related, though the 7 is related to the other 7

4:12 pm

and the o...going to guess o 6/7 combo

got the bottom N

4:12 pm

nice

4:13 pm

what's the 2nd letter on that O combo?

4:13 pm

ol

4:13 pm

no to be confused with the 5/6 combo that comes after it

4:15 pm

4:16 pm

soooo...0-1-0-1-2

the suspense is unbearable

4:17 pm

I know...really working it

40 left here

not figuring out how to fit an OL 6/7 in front of the OL5/6

4:18 pm

the two missing on the corner t, have a lot of similar letters to the other 7/8 combo

4:18 pm

in fact, only one different letter

I monkeyed 2 TR7/8 sets earlier

4:18 pm

oh

4:18 pm

then you're probably missing the compound 6

going to go back through my words and look for easy misses

4:19 pm

hi, peeps

4:19 pm

and perhaps the slangy 5

hey welki

4:19 pm

hey welki

if by slangy you mean a 3 wheeled bicycle?

4:20 pm

moo, i learned that you play serpentine

4:20 pm

I do, yes

4:20 pm

I play as JuliusFish there

4:20 pm

we've 'known' each other a long time *lol*

cakepies - a desert with the best (or worst) of both worlds

I miss that compound T6 literally every single time

4:23 pm

4:23 pm

yep, i've been playing for almost 13 years, tangleword before that

4:23 pm

oh yeah, I used to play tangle back in the day

4:23 pm

and Scramble before they took that away

4:23 pm

Bitwordy on Facebook too

4:24 pm

wordracer...a long time ago

4:24 pm

i played scrabble on jacob's ladder

yeah, I think I played scramble

4:24 pm

I used to play scrabble on irc.ro

4:24 pm

i think that's the same one i played, was a long, long time ago

4:25 pm

yeah, many of the big name scrabble players used to play on there

4:25 pm

a bunch of folks in the Word Freak book were on there

found 2 r's

and another R8

4:26 pm

you played scramble hoke?

4:27 pm

I played Scramble too. hi all

4:27 pm

oh hey peri

4:27 pm

was a fun place to play most of the time

4:27 pm

I actually met my wife on scramble :)

pretty sure I did, was there a phone app? I think it turned into Boggle app

4:27 pm

what are the stats on the r8 word you just found carla?

4:27 pm

yeah, though there were those cheaters

4:28 pm

how did you meet your wife on Scramble?

because I have the boggle app now that has the same power-ups that scramble had

ra8/50, peri

4:29 pm

I have an ra8/50 is there more thanone?

yep, diff last letter

4:29 pm

I used to play a lot on there, and that apparently caught my future wife's attention...

more spanish!

4:29 pm

two ra8s

4:29 pm

my neighbor came back a day early so I do not need to look after his cat :(

4:30 pm

I still have a video on youtube of me playing scramble I think

😹

4:30 pm

found the other ra8 ty

4:31 pm

still missing 2 8's but I do not know what they are

we almost have upteenth, which isn't a word (great story, I know)

I need 2 as well, peri

4:31 pm

yes, and you had to bring it up for the umpteenth time

4:32 pm

missing one k and lots of other words

4:32 pm

I'm missing 2 8s...pretty sure they start with c :)

4:32 pm

I have the 8's that were clued at the flip. the first two letters

ah, umpteenth sounds righter

4:33 pm

it's way correcter

sorry, I'm too busy looking for scramble videos on youtube

4:33 pm

oh, well search my first name and scramble

duh

4:34 pm

70 left dinner break and then back to finish

everything coming up is scrabble related, like I can't spell or something

bye peri

4:34 pm

enjoy peri...4 left here

world's fastest scramble/word streak player! was it word streak before then? that sounds familiar. video is from 8 years ago

4:36 pm

I don't recall word streak

4:37 pm

it appears I have two videos up there

saw another with word streak, it looks the same as scramble. I think it did predate scramble.

4:39 pm

I'm not the world's fastest scramble/word streak player

4:39 pm

I remember word streak now...I never liked that...hate "mousing"

yeah, he was at the zynga offices so I assumed it wasn't you

4:40 pm

yeah, don't work for zynga

I think it was an app too, so no mousing

4:41 pm

well mousing in the sense that you use your finger...it's mousing to me :)

I see

4:41 pm

I prefer typing

was scramble a facebook app? I think I started it there and then mostly played on ipad. so I typed on computer and finger-moused on ipad/iphone.

4:42 pm

yes, facebook app

4:42 pm

was around I think from about 2005-2009 or so

now it's all coming back to me

4:44 pm

used to play these sites, and eventually they'd close...so we'd all try find another one

4:45 pm

ok, so give - where can we find the videos?

yeah, there was another site I played too but I cannot remember what that was

4:45 pm

it's on youtube...search my serpentine name and scramble

yeah, he could at least tell us the title of the video

I like how you spelled scramble wrong in one of them

4:47 pm

i think morewords was another one...but may be misremembering

4:47 pm

yeah, wasn't really putting them up there for wide consumption

4:47 pm

but that was just a typo

4:48 pm

tangle was good tho

you know I'm just messing with you

4:49 pm

:)

4:50 pm

I used to play a lot of scrabble, until this cartoonish company got the rights for the mobile app...just couldn't stand it any more

4:51 pm

fite

4:51 pm

four yore rite too party

I used to play Scrabble on FB with my dad, who played on my mom's FB. that was nice to be able to do that. but then it was Lexolous and then WWF and I didn't like those.

4:52 pm

yeah lexolous was originally scrabble...until they got a note from Hasbro

4:53 pm

that's actually why I got on facebook, to play lexolous

yep

4:53 pm

I don't like playing scrabble against people I know though...

4:53 pm

WWF got worse and worse through time.

agreed

4:53 pm

WWF was so unbalanced in terms of scoring

4:54 pm

too easy to blow a game wide open

we always played a lot in my family and I got my dad several scrabble gifts over the years, and we'd play every time I went home for a visit, but eventually when his mind started going, he wouldn't play that or chess anymore.

4:55 pm

:(

4:56 pm

I think I played some WWF/Scrabble with my sister, that's about it

4:57 pm

found a 7.8 combo

4:57 pm

2 to go

my kids will agree to a game occasionally but then I destroy them. sometimes the oldest will want another game right after. like he's a gambler that just needs one more game. 🤣

nice, what was the 7/8 combo?

4:58 pm

ch7/8

4:58 pm

0-1-0-0-1 - C S

looks like that is one of my missing 8s

just finished a T

4:59 pm

not a regular word

4:59 pm

though it kinda sounds like it could be

oh well, 35 left. I'm going to get busy making tacos.

5:01 pm

sounds good

5:01 pm

I might make tacos too

taco tuesday!

🌮🌮

5:14 pm

No it’s not

5:14 pm
