whoops
wordmeister - 2006-11-30: 08:26:00
good one bjorn
wordmeister - 2006-11-30: 08:28:00
Hey Chris, I hope you're not playing this game with your grandparents while driving?!
wordmeister - 2006-11-30: 12:45:00
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

swerveillance lol
wordmeister - 2006-11-30: 14:44:00
Swerveillance is so true. Good one deadpan!

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
Verbotomy - 2006-11-30: 16:21:00
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.
