Pronunciation: skra-pull

Sentence: Despite the fact that the points were as useless as tits on a bull, Bulletchewer and Jabberwocky scrappled over the nuances of Stevenson0's Verbotocism. In the meantime, Purpleartichoke's word languished, garnering nothing more than a passing glance.

Etymology: Scrabble - the word game; Scrap - an argument; Scrap - a small detail; Scrapple - A Pennsylvania Dutch meat product made from cornmeal mush mixed with normally discarded pork scraps, onions, and spices.

sounds like an acrimonopolyous encounter - petaj, 2007-03-28: 05:41:00

My apologies in advance for monikerizing on my fellow Verbotomists. I couldn't think clearly this morning as I still have that damn song stuck in my head. - purpleartichokes, 2007-03-28: 05:56:00

No doubt that's why you've mistaken Jabberwocky for Alchemist. - petaj, 2007-03-28: 05:57:00

Did not! Aw geez, don't mess with me! (... in white satin. Never reaching the end...) - purpleartichokes, 2007-03-28: 06:04:00

Do bulls have nipples? Let's get into a bulletchew over this one. - Bulletchewer, 2007-03-28: 06:34:00

Why of course they do, Bulletchewer! Everyone knows that bulls secretly want to be cows, but then again, that may be a lot of nipbull. - purpleartichokes, 2007-03-28: 07:24:00

Petaj, dude, read again, I have more than one bullet to chew. The voodoo child was right! So technically bulls do have tits (teats=nipples) but are they still useless...? Mahahaha I'm playing with you now. - Bulletchewer, 2007-03-28: 08:47:00

I've heard "scrapple" used to describe a breakfast dish in the Scranton, PA region of Pennsylvania from a college friend. I'm not sure what type of food that it is though. Still, I like this word! - jedijawa, 2007-03-28: 08:57:00

Sounds like something Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute would eat. - Bulletchewer, 2007-03-28: 09:21:00

I was looking for a word like this but it eluded me :D - Discoveria, 2007-03-28: 09:57:00

oops, misread that one. Thought it was the nuances of guiltenfreude that were scrappled. - petaj, 2007-03-29: 05:15:00

Sentence: Boardgames were just an excuse for us to engage in monopolemics

Etymology: monopoly (popular board game) + polemics (art or practice of controversy)

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

Polemics eh? You learn something new every day! That said, this tiny mind reckons it sounds more like fighting over money or control of an entire market area. - Bulletchewer, 2007-03-28: 18:04:00

Hey, that's perfect! - jedijawa, 2007-03-29: 07:09:00

I think it actually refers to theological controversy but money/markets certainly a religion - Jabberwocky, 2007-03-29: 08:46:00

Pronunciation: bawl der dash

Sentence: It was always a Risk to invite Bawlthazar the Bawlderdash to our weekly Games Night. He liked to have a Monopoly on winning but did not use his Cranium. His thoughts were so Scrabbled and so Scattergoried that he did not have a Clue how to play most games. And yet he would bawl when he lost. We started having secret Games Nights. I know, it was a Trivial Pursuit of some fun, but if The Bawlderdash got wind of our plans, we would be Sorry. Somedays we wanted to sink his Yahtzee with our Battleship. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose...I guess that's just the Game of Life!

Etymology: Balderdash (a popular board game of trivia and bluffing, where players bluff meanings of obscure words to win points, Balderdash is also defined as trivial nonsense) & Bawl (cry loudly;shout loudly and without restraint;make a raucous noise)

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

Balderdash is my favourite game! Great word and sentence. - splendiction, 2009-10-15: 23:06:00
