Often wonder where American squirrels live? Ours live in a drey

12:26 pm

they make a nest in a tree

12:39 pm

Same thing. The Brits just call it a drey for some reason

1:26 pm

two syllables shorter than "squirrel's nest" - very economical

1:28 pm

but there's never any accounting for people who insist on doing things differently from Americans

2:22 pm

good afternoon everyone :)

2:34 pm

Phantom Lenore. The Raven.

4:25 pm

eating seaweed makes me gag

4:26 pm

fair enough

Heat's gotten to me

4:26 pm

oh duh, i see it, no5

4:27 pm

i know about Lenore and the Raven, what i don't know is what the ethnic slur you referred to might be

He4.

4:27 pm

hmm, guess i need that then

4:28 pm

aHA thanks, didn't know that was a word

oh! sorry! didn't catch that you were looking for the n5

I wish I could give you a clever clue

Oh Lenore isn't a phantom!

4:29 pm

4:31 pm

and you say "Arby ('s)!"

4:31 pm

and i say "ding ding ding!"

4:31 pm

well not necessarily me, other people also do them :)

I invented Name that ethnic slur, and clues that are punny, II din't know you invented NTPN.

4:33 pm

yes, that and "GWHIM" / "GW*IM" - Guess What Hurshy Is Missing or any variant with the first letter of anyone else's name

4:33 pm

hi again :) Did anyone ever have a clue for that de 8, please?

4:34 pm

i MAY have been the one to coin the term phantom for its purpose, but i can't recall for sure... the memory is getting lost in the phantomy mists of time at this point

4:34 pm

7:55 pm

I'm listening to a Murderbot Diaries book

7:55 pm

I'm watching What Came before the Big Bang by History of the Universe on YouTube.

7:55 pm

yay distraction!

squirrel!

7:57 pm

I'm debating between ice cream and a cocktail.

7:57 pm

maybe evening meds and ice cream.

ice cream! ice cream!

7:57 pm

oooh, ice cream

7:58 pm

Häagen Dass Strawberry :)

7:58 pm

which is as good as their vanilla.

7:58 pm

I had a smoothie for lunch.

I really like their chocolate peanut butter

7:58 pm

ooh, I'll have to look for that.

9:34 pm

I guess I could have been a bit more helpful with dimitri earlier - but it seemed unlikely that he was enjoy Babble much if he doesn't know *some* English.

9:35 pm

*was going to enjoy*

9:35 pm

speaking of apparently not knowing English

9:37 pm

I went and looked, and you did provide helpful information.

9:37 pm

without a basis in English, it would be a challenge, yes.

9:37 pm

Perhaps in Quebec, I suppose.

9:38 pm

I could have tried responding in French, at least, although it's been a long time since I used it much.

9:39 pm

shell-o-bell did respond in French.

9:39 pm

Only to comment that not *all* the words are English, I think.

9:40 pm

yes, that's what I read.

9:40 pm

though I'd argue they are in English, if rare.

9:41 pm

deciding when a word is English or not can be difficult, sometimes

9:41 pm

indeed so!

9:44 pm

One of the funniest French words I know is "shampooing", meaning "shampoo", but pronounced very differently from how it is in English.

9:47 pm

I'm not sure if they approve of it in France - I know they used to be sticklers for avoiding foreign words and keeping French "pure"

9:49 pm

Anyway, I'm finished, so maybe I can offer some clues, if any are wanted?

9:50 pm

re5.14 please?

9:50 pm

I'm at a loss

9:53 pm

a person who doesn't follow the rules

9:53 pm

(or the act of going against the rules)

9:55 pm

I mean, to go against the rules (a verb)

9:56 pm

"the act of" doing it is a longer word, and can describe a political uprising

9:57 pm

oh!

9:57 pm

so many fishy today

9:57 pm

yes, we've had a few weird grids lately

9:59 pm

anyway, i'm off for now - good luck with the rest of it!

10:04 pm

thanks! g'night
