Conner Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 You need serious help, dude! I take it "words" is to be given very wide scope. e.g. bot as in short for robot; slang for botany? You missed... rob - to steal Bert and Tob are names roe as in fish eggs Boer - a South African of Dutch extraction. rot - decay bort - a low quality diamond; when granulated, it's used as an abrasive orb - a sphere erb - as in herb, the h is silent anyway Conner P.S. You win. No one wants to play now. Link to comment

Conner Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Colin: ... No abbreviations (CIO, NOI, etc.), no proper names (Clio), no non-English words (but Old English words are included). Some are pretty obscure, but... meh! My last name offers fewer words: ... Colin That's quite the list for a 5-letter name. My favourite is loin. Great word. I believe you meant no "acronyms". An abbreviation could have been lino for linoleum. Don't fret, I'm picking fights with everyone today!! :2hands: Conner Link to comment

Conner Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I did say I did it without using a dictionary. People from the future aren't supposed to talk to me. So "erg" you knew; the others you would need a dictionary??? :wacko: Conner Link to comment
Site Administrator Graeme Posted September 9, 2007 Site Administrator Share Posted September 9, 2007 Oh, I definitely feel embarrassed for missing the three you identifed -- they are obvious in hindsight. But I have a science background -- erg is something I knew.... Now that that is out of the way... where is the Conner list? Link to comment

The erg has pretty much been replaced by the joule. So I understand. Link to comment
