Hi, Scrab
Hi IG. I am not liking this grid.

good morning all. not getting the fa8
I have the ba7 but not the other 7
the other 7 is also a fa7

I have nothing bigger than a 5.
2nd FA 4/7 + vowel + bug

Yw; one of those weirds words
AL 5/14 is another one
not sure I have the right fa4
no idea re fa8
I found it on Morewords.
I will have to list soon
I had no idea you could spell the ba6 and plural like that, I've always seen it with a Y
The AL5/14 - "hey, lets throw 5 letters over there and call it a word"
I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.
the al5 - immigration of Jews to Israel usually spelled with an h at the end
fa8 is a lazy person per my scrabble dictionary

I would be singing the work songs and everything.
will you get a litter of accomodation?
all the songs from brother where art thou
wait, was the accomodation a pun too? isn't it commendation? 🤣
yes, I just might sing those songs, harry
first mtng at 940. only failing kid and it's my first mtng. and the mom is the board chair of the school.
eek, well at least you'll get it over with
yes - good point.
always looks on the bright side, that carla.
I was just reading about states that passed a referendum about forced prison labor.
today is the 47th anniv of the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald. I know what I'm listening to later.
I love that song.
so great
I finished all the i's long ago, but keep finding "inanily" and thinking I should really try it.
what's wrong with forced prison labor?
lol, still one i left here
They voted against it.
mostly the 'forced' word
as long as they treat them humanely
st 5/12, pls
that's pretty subjective.
ty bichon! was my last S
bichon...just go straight up and turn right
remember the mouse character last name Little, bichon? his first name without a vowel.
there's only a few possibilities for that
ty phae, carla
thought for sure I had the other 7 with brinily
Let me rephrase...The initiative restricting forced prison labor passed in Vermont, Tennesee and Alabama and failed in Lousiana.
3-2-1-0-1 T A L BB FF
5-4-1-1-1 A L BB i FFF
N AA N

thanks, of course I did
10 left!
i just have a y 5
well, you'll get it, ruru
And then when you do, you will do a face plant.
so the 8 is either A L B or F
He keeps hoping he'll "get it"
Not an A
ok, good
it's a F8
5 to go.
never seen the word before either
great
<---hopes he gets it good someday
<---hopes bea meant face palm
yes
Oh, I was picturing Ru, face smashed upon the computer desk in front of him.
I was picturing him on the ground
King of a "after a half a bottle of bourbon" thing
1-0-1-0-1
Interesting that the dictionary defines fa5/20 as "the buttocks" and not what it means in the UK.
3-3-1-1-1 struggling here
what does it mean in England?
interesting that molly is clue blurting
in england, it means the lady-bits.
*waits for the day that Molly posts the whole list*
just 2 Fs left. a 6 and an 8
really? eva?
yes'm!
so freddie mercury's naughty na5 had a big fat lady bits?
one F left here, the 8
your 6 is an adv, harry
apparently!
Gosh Ru, I'm glad you didn't get taken to task for mentioning that.
I knew that was coming
huh
Best I could find on line is that the UK version of that word predates the US one, and may be based on the suacy book "F5 Hill"
sorry, not an adv, an adj
I can't remember all of the british slang though
Or saucy
can't see it. gotta run. will finish these farshluggina F's later.
wasn't balin a dwarf in LOTR or the hobbit?
I have gotten so that I have a hard time reading novels written by Brits because I have to keep stopping and trying to understand things. Like "what does it mean she took her satchel out of the boot of her car"
have fun with the conf, harry
I remember reading one, what is a kerb?
I watch a lot of British TV shows so I'm used to British English.
Something you might run into with your tyre
my parents are english. i think i should be considered bilingual. LOL
English as a first AND second language.
I agree
american english as first, british english as second
to quote John Mclane, "I only speak English and Bad English."
English spoken, American understood (old witticism). I can do both, but when I do the NY Times crossword I have to remember to spell American
And there are some American words that, as they tend to be used by adults, I didn't know (I don't mean RUDE - I mean like Spackle instead of Polyfilla - I didn't have many holes in walls to fill as a kid that couldn't be filled with toothpaste)
I don't think that was McLane(sp?) I think it was BW in Fifth Element. unless he says it in both movies. I just watched Fifth Element the other day.
three left, that weird a5 and the two Ws... hmm
I do like to try to figure out what in the world is being said in brit tv and books
I can provide translation services cheaply ;)
got the Ws by throwing spaghetti at the wall
do you want help with the w's, mael?
It was The Fifth Element
once I knew they were 4s I just tried a bunch of random letters haha
thanks hokie!
hah, FW.
tough little grid today
it's not too bad mael. just some twisty words
ack! youre right, Carla! it was 5th element, not die hard.
bunch of nonsense twisty words though!
I never understood the appeal of the Die Hard movies
i heart bruce willis.
of course NIHIL isn't accepted at the bee
Really? I love John McLane. I always wanted to see a John McLane/Jack Bauer movie.
I liked Bruce only in two movies.. Sixth Sense and Pulp Fic tion.. I think he's a good guy generally Eva
I have never understood the appeal of Pulp Fiction.
really? you're questioning ru's movie likes?
dislikes
oh my god.. one of the greatest movies of all time
bruce willis generally plays bruce willis. but i love him anyway.
Molly is more of an Ann Hathaway Princess Bride fan
I thought he retired, but imdb has him in a 2023 "announced" movie
he has retired as far as I know
he has announced his retirement due to health reasons. that film was likely shot before he announced said retirement.
I should also point out that you're completely right with that comment hokie
Yeah, well so did Brady and that didn't last long.
which one?
most of his more recent films were direct-to-video
questioning my movie choices :D
Brady should have gone out on top and called it a day
well, he has 3 "completed" that are 2022 and the 1 "announced" for 2023. announced usually means not filmed yet
poor Bruce Willis has aphasia, he's not unretiring
He has aphasia. I can't imagine him acting.
yeah, that's the impression I got. bad enough for him to retire
I'd never heard of Aphasia before this
wtf is alcopop?
Nasty wine coolers and such, hokie.
did he have a stroke or something?
it's a language disorder, sometimes it can be transient and sometimes it's progressive or untreatable, unfortunately
Fruit-flavored soda with a splash of alcohol in it
why was that allowed on the bee and boop wasn't?
if it's due to a stroke it usually can improve, but it doesn't sound like it in this case
Because The Spelling Bee has the weirdest "allowed" list of any word game I have ever played
I know, ridiculous
it's too bad he didn't sign up for better movies with better scripts
completely up to that one guy
he can certainly act
well, I'm not seeing any more words. hopefully they'll come to me later. going to try to get a bike ride in before the rain this afternoon. 8 left - 3-2-1-1-1
The first thing I saw him in was the old TV show Moonlighting. I liked him in that.
I loved that show. Why isn't it available for streaming anywhere?
easy bee today though
Oh, music rights. But it looks like it may become available soon. Probably on Disney, which I do not subscribe to.
i read that the main hurdle is that there is a lot of the music in the show + its difficult to navigate getting the rights to those songs. but it sounds like it WILL be coming to streaming!
Ugh ... 80's music :D
you back off from 80s music, lol
The weirdest "not available for streaming" story I have read is about the movie Dogma. It is not available because Harvey Weinstein owns the rights and he won't release it.
i love Dogma. its actually one of my favorites.
Dogma is great
I have the DVD
same.
I have the dvd but alas I no longer have a dvd player
a
You can get external DVD players that will plug into a laptop for fairly reasonable prices
in 6/27, pls
Baby

good morning/afternoon everyone
anyone know what the 8 is and is it a 7-8 combo?
fa8/55 not a combo
I'm having enough trouble with the f without that!
It is a ridiculous word, Nan
can't even begin to imagine what it could be
17 left
I think its a french word for idle?
could be - not in my french vocab, however -- guess I never needed that one
yeah I dont remember it from school maybe old school
went to my english/french dictionary and there was nothing begining with fa for idle
al 4/14 please?
top dog
alternate spelling lol
isn't that the al 4/7?
looking for al 5/14
rehi. back for my last 8. did not get a bike ride in before the rain.
I guess that is one of mine
thank you, will think about how to clue
al5 McGraw of Love Story fame + Divene Secrets of the ____ Sisterhood (Just one)
Sorry MacGraw
no idea on the sisterhood
thanks was going to start cassius clay + something.
First two of a sweet potato like vegetable
kinda like the toy on a string but different vowel
ty - new one for me
I was pretty sure a Google search on Divine Secrets would bring that up
guess the ? dictionary isn'tl working
anyway - that was my last -- off to wordle
With an H at the end it is a Jewish immigration word. Not in my retained vocabulary.
I would have said looks like the pop/R&B singer who married R. Kelly when she was underage and died in a plane crash, but I knew nan would have no idea on that.
Not if she doesn't even know the Sisterhood movie
which was based on a popular book
ok, 7 now - 3-1-1-1-1
No show today?
moo must be on a call. looks like he's still here.
Oh that pesky work
guess I will try to find these 4s
found one!
and one more I thought I tried earlier
now 1-1-1-1-1
4-4-1-0-1
moo!
name that seinfeld secondary character in the grid! I know moo doesn't watch tv so maybe molly.
hi Hokie!!
Hi Mool!!
hello to you all!
hello dolly!
I think I'm going to have to give up and go to the list
well, the seinfeld NTPN I did was almost one of my missing words
well, should have gotten 1/5 without the list so I don't feel bad.
11 words left
I was going to mention that about the Seinfeld character but I had the chat turned off when you asked for the Name That Proper Noun so I figured someone had gotten it
Okay, kinda here now
And off it goes again
5 left all L's
one left a 5
Fireworks
preparing for a 500 word grid tomorrow you never know
any hints for the fa 7/48?
nm

IG - look for an adverb ending to 5/16
