Use my word game.

[IknowMe]

The rules are you must form a sentence using the the word given by the previous post as well as providing a word for the next poster to use. We'll call it a vocabulary excersize.

Lets start with the word 'crepuscular'.

Wow, I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
I think I've forgotten this before.

 

[rjoubert]

My mind tends to obambulate during those long staff meetings.

Next word: rhonchisonant

 

[Bandenjamin]

Today I heard a great joke that made me rhonchisonant.

Next word: discombobulated

--Dan
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
Mark Twain

 

[SantaMufasa]

Dan's snorting rhonchisonantly at the joke discombobulated the group into forgetting what they were even talking about.

[rjoubert]

U" is the most hippocrepiform letter in the alphabet. Sorry for the lame sentence...it's the best I could come up with.

Next word: xenodocheionology

 

[SantaMufasa]

As a superstitious xenodocheionologist, I carry a hippocrepiform with me to affix above doorways while I visit lodgings.

[rjoubert]

Dave, isn't hippocrepiform an adjective?

 

[rjoubert]

My chariot overturned and I fell headlong into the zocle (socle) of the library's North wall.

Next: deipnosophist

 

[IknowMe]

A self proclamed deipnosophist is most likely a poor choice for a dinner guest.

afflatus


Wow, I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
I think I've forgotten this before.

 

[rjoubert]

The tragedy in his life served as the afflatus for his dark poetry.

Next: jentacular

 

[SantaMufasa]

Dave, isn't hippocrepiform an adjective?

Absolutely correct. And although I expect no one to believe me, my original sentence was:

As a superstitious xenodocheionologist, I carry a hippocrepiformal symbol with me to affix above doorways while I visit lodgings.

...But my broadband signal went south during posting and my re-write (from my "Half-Heimers" memory) produced an inferior result.

Now for the current word:

"My daughter refuses to partake of jentacular options at McDonald's."

New word: yestreen

[rjoubert]

Recrudescent diarrhea??? I knew it was only a matter of time before this thread went to crap. [flush]

The soldier's xerotic skin could be attributed to the year he spent in Iraq.

Next: whigmaleerie

On a whigmaleerie, I decided to try some cheap frozen beef 'n' bean burritos the other day, which led me to the reCRUDescent abdominal distress as mentioned above.

"If to err is human, then I must be some kind of human!" -Me
