Hey Chris, I hope you're not playing this game with your grandparents while driving?!

Hey Jabberwocky, Eyebrowse is a good word. In fact, it may apply to all sorts of situations where eyes wander to places where they're not usually supposed to go...
chris - 2006-11-30: 13:01:00
Eyebrowse is very nice
Jabberwocky - 2006-11-30: 14:03:00

I don't think carncentrate deserves a 0. You should only vote against a word if it's really awful (which is rare)
chris - 2006-11-30: 15:54:00
Thanks guest...I think it's to do with rankings - which is a shame. I agree...submit words, and vote for the good ones and leave the 'against' votes in your locker
Oh, things are getting fierce... Are people suggesting that we vote against voting against? That is, remove the vote against function?
Jabberwocky - 2006-11-30: 16:35:00
I agree with Chris and guest - not many words, if any deserve a 0 - carncentrate is a great word
deadpanwalking - 2006-12-05: 11:07:00
I doubt that we need the "vote against" feature since "vote for" usually sorts them out pretty well.
deadpanwalking - 2006-12-05: 11:08:00
Hahaha, Naderneck. I just got that, took me weeks, been losing sleep over it. Nice one.
