An above par word, and cheesy at the same time... - wordmeister, 2007-03-28: 10:31:00

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
