I need a clue for the de 10 please

8:51 am

rururocks

the de10 will rub you the wrong way likely

8:51 am

Shirlockc

the de10 is a pl of the de9 and is an noun form of leftover / stuff / mess

9:01 am

hurshy

morning

9:02 am

hurshy

lookit that, come in and get a nice clue for the 10 and get that right out of the way

9:02 am

hurshy

how propitious

9:05 am

mael

thanks shirlock!

9:06 am

mael

I was thinking the regular form of that word was a nice phantom...

9:06 am

MollyL

Interesting how different people fee about that. I come into chat and if a clue for the longest word is there, I'm disappointed as I like to find words on my own. And yes, I know, I should just turn off th chat.

9:07 am

mael

I don't look at the clues unless I'm already looking for clues for that word :)

9:07 am

hurshy

if it were a word i was likely to get i might feel that way. but when it is a word i would ultimately need a clue for, then i'm glad

9:07 am

mael

I wouldn't have gotten that on my own, no. Not without some serious monkeys

9:09 am

rururocks

(considers the concept of serious monkeys)

9:11 am

phaeton

hello...any clues for the me9?

9:11 am

MollyL

I have never gotten the monkey thing

9:12 am

rururocks

computers work with chips mael works with chimps

9:13 am

hurshy

well, i can say that the me9 must come from the LEFT M

9:14 am

hokie carla

howdy folks. just got here and found pe 8/9 in my first 4 words. love it when that happens.

9:16 am

mael

enough monkeys with a typewriter could produce shakespeare? it's a thing

9:16 am

hokie carla

but of course can't find any of the first tile

9:16 am

hurshy

think vomit

9:16 am

mael

I still only have 3 from that E, hokie

9:16 am

hokie carla

finally found 1 that looks like a name

9:17 am

hurshy

Doc Brown is one yeah

9:17 am

hurshy

and change the last letter on that for another

9:17 am

mael

heh

9:17 am

hurshy

plus the three vomit words, i'm still missing one tho

9:18 am

mael

do you have the professors?

9:18 am

hurshy

ah thanks

9:18 am

hokie carla

well, that's gray, thx

9:18 am

9:19 am

hokie carla

9:19 am

hurshy

9:19 am

hokie carla

oh well, must come back later for my last 188. gotta go to the DMV.

9:19 am

hurshy

ack, no, not the DMV!!!!

9:20 am

mael

good luck! watch out for the sloths at the counters ;)

9:20 am

hokie carla

I know, luckily they seem much better here than in NC.

9:20 am

hurshy

man, uritis sounds like such a plausible word

9:20 am

mael

so plausible I tried it too hurshy

9:20 am

hokie carla

LOL, that was my favorite thing about that movie, mael

9:20 am

mael

I thought I was so clever

9:20 am

phaeton

found the me9...fw

9:21 am

mael

mine too!

9:21 am

mael

congrats!

9:21 am

hurshy

does it have to do with cities, or recollection? or neither?

9:21 am

phaeton

ty mael...hagd

9:21 am

hokie carla

PS - I went yesterday at 4:30 but didn't have the right form filled out so going again today. decided I will drive 10 extra min to go to one that is showing much less wait times.

9:21 am

phaeton

recollection

9:22 am

mael

huh, thought I'd tried any an all recollection root words! thanks, I'm looking

9:22 am

phaeton

use the author word without the first letter

9:22 am

MollyL

See, enough monkeys with typewriters could produce Shakespeare always sounded kind of dumb to me. And smart people play this game

9:23 am

hurshy

the author word with out the first letter? huh?

9:23 am

mael

of course they couldn't, Molly, except on the basis of theoretical infinity :)

9:24 am

hurshy

oh, i see what you mean.

9:25 am

hurshy

9:27 am

phaeton

Monkeys is like diving in, choclits, Babblet and poof. All produced by one little group that posted years ago and dragged through all these years.

9:29 am

MollyL

Of course you now have the new group making up things like 4 4 5 7 8 RRST and HOET so take your pick I guess

9:30 am

One old-time Babble expression that seems to have disappeared is the Penalty Box.

9:32 am

MollyL

That's because a limited group got pissy about it. Said it was mean when it was all done in fun

9:32 am

rururocks

and the sensitive room

9:33 am

MollyL

Besides, blurting words has become acceptable now

9:33 am

origami

I liked the penalty box with its cabana boys and tasty beverages.

9:34 am

rururocks

I bet you liked that

9:35 am

MollyL

The best part about Old Babble was no clues or stats in the first hour. Now the first hour is like a heated competition.

9:39 am

rururocks

babble is a moving target everything changes eventually. People used to throw pooh in the chat ... glad those days are over

9:39 am

hurshy

winnie the pooh?

9:42 am

MollyL

And that whole pirate thing, I'm glad that's gone too

9:45 am

rururocks

it was just the times with certain people being silly I don't mind it

9:46 am

hurshy

phantoms: prior, priority

MollyL

But Origami, now I can send you to the PB and all the cabana boys are at your service.

10:02 am

origami

I will take my punishment

10:03 am

MollyL

*Alerts the Jason Momoa look-alike cabana boy

10:04 am

origami

Oooooh ... getting my sunscreen out

10:05 am

rururocks

are there bunkbeds in the Penalty box?

10:05 am

origami

Ha!

10:06 am

MollyL

*Considers closing chat so as not to read the kinky explanation for that question

10:07 am

origami

We wouldn't explain. It's not safe for the Babble chat.

10:07 am

rururocks

it's a loooooong story molly

10:07 am

rururocks

you'd have to go to church

10:09 am

Now I have company in the PB :D

10:13 am

MollyL

I will wear a blindfold and turn up the music real loud so as not to disturb you two and your "bunkbed thing"

10:14 am

origami

😀

10:14 am

rururocks

that's not me... just her fantasy :D

10:15 am

origami

Right ....

10:15 am

rururocks

you and the games of thrones guy

10:16 am

rururocks

the only dragon I get to see is in the Castro

10:19 am

MollyL

I forgot about Game of Thrones. I liked him so much more in Slumberland

10:19 am

origami

Slumberland was a cute movie. I liked it.

10:20 am

MollyL

He was very good in that movie

10:28 am

rururocks

There wouldn't be any slumbering on those bunkbeds

11:52 am

11:52 am

BzznBea

11:55 am

hokie carla

I got ur6 this morning

11:55 am

hokie carla

FTR, I HATE ur for your/you're. and it shouldn't even be for both but it is.

11:56 am

hokie carla

phantom pretext

12:04 pm

MollyL

Wow, you actually hate an abbreviation?

12:05 pm

hokie carla

I know, imagine that

12:05 pm

BzznBea

i dislike it as well

12:06 pm

MollyL

Be like me and just hate them all. It's easier 😊 I have a particular dislike for U instead of you

12:07 pm

hokie carla

I dislike that one as well

12:08 pm

MollyL

And I gave a big speech at work to quit using fu for follow up because most people think something else when they see fu

12:09 pm

hokie carla

lol, I am one of those people that sees it the bad way. at least do f/u for follow up.

12:13 pm

mattygroves

I still internally chuckle when I see Powerpoints or Excels abbreviating 'cumulative' to 'cum.' I clearly have the mind of a 10 year old boy!

12:15 pm

MollyL

Abbreviations have no place in business crrespondence. And they make the writer look illiterate.

12:15 pm

periwinkle

do the de9/10 have the high point tile inthem?

12:16 pm

hokie carla

I think f/u is used more in medical uses

12:16 pm

periwinkle

I have de7/8

12:18 pm

Robespierre

Just stumbled onto the DE 9/10. It doesn’t have an x.

12:18 pm

BzznBea

yes, peri

12:18 pm

periwinkle

thanks

12:19 pm

BzznBea

sorry

12:19 pm

periwinkle

may I have a clue please

12:19 pm

periwinkle

not seeing the me9 either

12:20 pm

Robespierre

It’s not a word I recognize. Maybe the opposite of eating well. Plural for the 10.

12:20 pm

periwinkle

hmm

12:22 pm

hokie carla

I use sn4 as a verb all the time. that kid sn-ed all over his shirt.

12:24 pm

BzznBea

peri, if it was nu9 it would be about eating healthy foods

12:24 pm

hokie carla

thanks both

12:26 pm

MollyL

me9 is a penner of a business note without the W

12:28 pm

periwinkle

ty for de9/10

12:29 pm

periwinkle

not getting your clue Molly

12:30 pm

hokie carla

weird, thanks for the me9

12:31 pm

Gillie

Here I was trying to find a non-existent me9/10 pair using Robes and BzznBea's clues - duh

12:32 pm

hokie carla

peri not getting the m4 on that. maybe you could (w)r4 a different clue.

12:32 pm

Robespierre

Great clue for the ME 9, Molly. There are some really goofy words in this grid!

12:33 pm

hokie carla

reading the def of that me9, I am amazed by words like that in english. who ever uses that?

12:34 pm

Robespierre

Gillie, stick with BzznBea’s clue for the 9/10. BzznBea said what I meant to, but phrased it much more clearly.

12:35 pm

Gillie

I did get it after I realized it should start with de - but thank you

12:36 pm

hokie carla

now if I could just find one more M from the 2nd one I'd have HOET

12:36 pm

periwinkle

12:36 pm

Gillie

One of the "Who to use me9 in a sentence" entries on dictionary.com is entirely in Latin :)

12:37 pm

hokie carla

haha

12:37 pm

hokie carla

HOET!

2:01 pm

BzznBea

this grid sucks

2:02 pm

3:21 pm

penquis

4:02 pm

penquis

that's it for now....*waving to the lurkers*....

Is that what Babble Expert does when grid words are entered in chat? Shouldn't it change them to no6, etc., instead?

6:01 pm

hokie carla

no idea. I've always wondered how that happens in certain posts.

6:48 pm

BzznBea

it's been a hard day today. the next few days will be harder. i'm leaving 116...

8:19 pm

penquis

8:23 pm

cybernan
