Surprise, surprise! In the interest of making things over-complicated, let's actually do
this thing all official-like. (I know we said there would be no rules, but precisely
because we said there would be no rules,
making rules is the unruliest thing we could do. Tricky, huh? We're the
Outback Steakhouse of the blogosphere.)
The challengers
have been submitted. Place your vote:
- nabob
- pizza
- kumquat
- muffaletta
- raconteur
- sizzle
- kerfuffle
- squelch
- callipygian
- schadenfreude
- serendipities
- eleemosynary
- dork
In the event of a tie, the finalists will battle to the death in a
pendulum pit filled with Wesson oil.
And I'm going with "squelch", by the way.
ReplyDeleteMy choice has to be "nabob." "Eleemosynary" is a lot of fun to say, but who wants to think about almshouses? As for "callipygian" - that's naughty!
ReplyDeleteTroika.
ReplyDeleteDamn!
kumquat
ReplyDeleteWhat? No Battle Royale?
ReplyDeleteI vote for "szxcwdo" (if it's "word verification", it must be a word!)
Squelch is it
ReplyDeleteWe're making this up as we go. I'm thinking a sort of augmented or Extreme Battle Royale. Two words duking it out is quite nice, but thirteen is awesome! The last word standing then goes on to battle a fresh batch of contenders. Or maybe a lion. Or some Christians. We'll see.
ReplyDeleteSince I am a rather simple person(and I don't know what some of those other fancy words mean), I will choose the simplest word--dork. It has such a nice ring to it and is quite expressive!
ReplyDeleteSizzle
ReplyDeleteI stand by squelch. As a transitive verb or a sound effect.
ReplyDeleteIf a pendulum pit-wesson oil battle is necessary, will Zena be the referee?
ReplyDeleteIn that case I'm with squelch as well. I don't trust those foreign-sounding words.
ReplyDeleteFor the next round, how about rictus?
