12:59 am

gremlinn

congrats, is it a weird one?

12:59 am

rbud

yep, a weird one. and thanks for narrowing it down for the rest of us! (haven't been to lickety yet, myself)

1:01 am

rbud

Jewish - apparently a plural for a book/story used during Passover Seder.

1:02 am

rbud

maybe not so weird for some here. :p

1:02 am

gremlinn

haha, guessed it randomly

1:03 am

gremlinn

but I had a feeling on the first 4 or 5 letters, there are similar looking Hebrew words I've seen

1:03 am

gremlinn

so I just tried monkeying the last 3 letters

1:04 am

rbud

I kept wandering mentally into Scottish foodstuffs, but it wouldn't go there, haha.

1:05 am

gremlinn

ha--is ? :)

1:05 am

rbud

but of course! :D

1:06 am

gremlinn

anyway, thanks for the clue, g'night

1:06 am

rbud

but I thought maybe THAT had a weird alternate spelling of some sort.

1:06 am

rbud

Night to you, too, and congrats, you finished, right?

1:07 am

gremlinn

yep, fw, can't think of any other spelling of that Scottish word but it seems like there should be...

That one? A lot of ethnic slurs are allowed in this game. They are just words in a word game. They are only bad when used to inflict disdain.
