Tuneitus

mrskellyscl

Created by: mrskellyscl

Pronunciation: tune-i-tus

Sentence: After chaperoning her daughter's girl scout troop to a very loud Myley Cyrus concert Marylin found that she had developed a serious case of tuneitus. She doesn't know if she got it at the concert or from the girls singing the same song over and over in the bus, but now she couldn't get rid of it. After looking up her symptoms on Web MD she found to her horror that the only cure for tuneitus is to think of an equally droll song or else to try to pass the songworm to someone else by singing it outloud. It was cruel, she knew, but she had to get rid of it or she would go mad. "Harry," she called, "listen to this song the girls sang."

Etymology: tinnitus: a constant buzzing, ringing or whistling sound in one or both ears caused by an external trigger such as an ear infection or head injury + tune: the melody of a song that is simple and easy to remember

That "Join" button looks exactly like the "Create" button. There should be some obvious indicator that you're not clicking on the same thing you click on every day. The page looks nearly identical, and I know I'm not the first person to accidentally join a group.

Hey ErWenn, Yes, I think you're right. I have removed the "join group" button. Players are now required to create a unique word before it can be saved. (Plus, as an added bonus, I have taken your name off the creators list for allwise's word, which you "accidentally" joined. Now you can go ahead and create your own word for the day.) Thanks ~ James
