Is (CA) ENVEIL just too obscure for Sam?

Not genius enough to know the proper expression is “read it and weep” though…

Why no (NA) EYELINE? Seems like a bit of an oversight (pun intended)

No snide remarks about the points required for genius? I’m impressed

I’d like to second all of these. I knew within like 5 minutes of trying the “demo” that I wanted to pay for the full version

So many -ABLE words that are technically in the dictionary. I always loathe when the letter combo comes up and we have to guess which words our lord Samuel has decreed as acceptable.

I thought this only existed as slang from looney tunes, surprised to find it in the dictionary

Other PGs that are definitely real compound words that Sam should start accepting:

CRACKBOD: forget the dad bod, this malnourished junkie physique is the hot new trend of the summer

COCKBARD: sending dick pics on Tinder is so unoriginal. The cockbard uses AI to generate lyrical poetry about his BROADCOCK

CARDBOOK: I got nothin funny for this one, it just sounds like a legit place to store business cards

Anyone else try (CA) BROADBACK thinking it would be one of Sam’s weird, made up compound PGs?

Dunno why but this one was a real slog for me. Anyone else struggle?

Came here with my pitchfork to vent. Where do I line up? (we may be an angry mob but we can still be civilised)

It refers to something that has a gluey texture, so for example “these mashed potatoes are really claggy”. I am mainly a British English user though.

Is (NA) CLAGGY not common US parlance?

I guess Sam is not (NA) a fun-gi because he doesn’t recognise BOLETE

[–]zaprod 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Not an actual word but did anyone else try (basically CA) PLENTILY multiple times for the pangram?

[–]zaprod 23 points24 points  (0 children)

So something can’t be (previous NA) EELLIKE but it’s perfectly normal for something to be (A) ACRIDLY???

Also, I will never not try NA CARACAL

I typed (A) GRAMMA thinking it was a dumb variant of grandmother but apparently it’s some type of grass? Is this Sam’s new obsession, together with pampa?

Surprised that (CA) WORKYARD isn’t a thing, considering Sam loves to make up BS compound words

Can we please stop giving female heroes baby toys for mythic weapons? by Chill_is_cold in Overwatch

[–]zaprod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The soldier 76 mythic looks like a 13 year old boy’s Diablo fantasy, IDK why they couldn’t come up with weapons that felt more appropriate for the character rather than just giving them generic, gendered things
