Scrabpler

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: skrab plur

Sentence: Marvin played Scrabble every Saturday night with his friends. He tried to cheat, made up words and got passionately argumentative when his friends challenged him. The official Scrabble dictionary was always consulted, but Marvin insisted that they did not have all the words in it yet, as the language was constantly evolving. He was a scrabpler for sure, but his friends suspected his verbal diarrhea and intellectual constipation were more due to his IVS... Irritable Vowel Syndrome!

Etymology: Scrabble (a board game in which words are formed from letters in patterns similar to a crossword puzzle; each letter has a value and those values are used to score the game) & Scrapper (someone who fights (or is fighting)
