hurshy

phantom: minion

10:36 am

hokie carla

ok, so many options for butthole. I finally looked it up and looked for one fitting that description, thanks.

10:36 am

hokie carla

isn't there a HP spell with that word?

10:36 am

hurshy

idk why we need so many words for butthole anyway

10:37 am

hurshy

like i don't even know if there is a difference between that one and an4

10:43 am

hokie carla

still haven't found cu6

10:43 am

frogface

Well I did but that just says something about me lol

10:44 am

hurshy

but it's much less offensive in the UK than in the US, right frog?

10:44 am

hokie carla

certainly in much higher usage there from what I've heard

10:44 am

frogface

I very much doubt it lol, but yes I would say so.

10:44 am

cybernan

well it's not curry, so I don't know what else

10:46 am

penquis

ah, ok....

10:46 am

hokie carla

it's not a breast, but is breast meat I think

10:46 am

hurshy

a slice

10:47 am

cybernan

no idea carla

10:47 am

penquis

chicken cu 6 or pork cu6....

10:47 am

hokie carla

it's smaller, like a little bigger than a tenderloin

10:47 am

penquis

a cut of meat...

10:47 am

hurshy

and by the way there is a rhyming nu6 too

10:47 am

phaeton

help with the us6

10:47 am

frogface

pork cu is better known in uk, not heard of that chicken cut

10:47 am

cybernan

not a cut I've ever heard of

10:47 am

hokie carla

maybe the canadians don't have that. in that case, no idea how to help you.

10:47 am

cybernan

oh - see it now

10:47 am

frogface

frogface

oh dearie, sorry, I should not chat

10:48 am

cybernan

yes used with pork here too, but not chicken

10:48 am

hurshy

us6 = something that is a minor bother or problem is a n*i*****, take out the N and i

10:49 am

frogface

Nice clue hurshy

10:49 am

hokie carla

I just want to complain about unrent yesterday. could someone please use that in a sentence?

10:49 am

hurshy

yeah that's why i said it was the only word i got hung up on

10:49 am

frogface

I wish I could unrent my landlord

10:49 am

hurshy

my lease is over so i'm going to unrent my apartment now??? it is weird

10:50 am

ChampFit

Maybe they mean rent as in torn?

10:50 am

Kath9185

lol carla, i was also mad about that one

10:50 am

hurshy

ohhhh thank you champ

10:50 am

hurshy

that would be much better

10:50 am

hurshy

of course it doesn't explain why we could have that but not unhit...

10:50 am

hokie carla

interesting

10:51 am

ChampFit

it's not like we'd ever use it that way though...

10:51 am

hurshy

well maybe not TODAY but in the past people might've

10:52 am

hurshy

chipping away at those 6s, now at 2-2-4-2

10:52 am

cybernan

break time

10:52 am

MollyL

If you can't unring a bell, I doubt you can untear a garment

10:52 am

hurshy

no but it just hasn't been torn YET

10:53 am

hurshy

so it's unrent

10:53 am

hurshy

it's still whole

10:53 am

hokie carla

yeah, but if something is untorn

10:53 am

hurshy

which is why if there is a gunfight someone might also say to their fellow soldiers "i'm unhit"

10:53 am

MollyL

The stretches people make here are hilarious

10:53 am

hurshy

or even in paintball

10:53 am

hurshy

or dodgeball

10:53 am

hokie carla

anyhoo, gotta get back to housecleaning here. got some inlaws coming tonight and golfing this afternoon.

10:54 am

penquis

"she was in an accident but miraculously, her clothes were untorn"....

10:54 am

ChampFit

hagd carla!

10:54 am

hurshy

we didn't want to stretch it for unrenting an apartment. we only make LOGICAL stretches.

10:54 am

cybernan

just found an so 7

10:54 am

MollyL

But most people would say not torn not untorn

10:54 am

hurshy

we are not most people

10:55 am

penquis

ah but words don't have to be what most people say....

10:55 am

hurshy

clue please nan?

10:55 am

ChampFit

got the last 8

10:55 am

rastapopolous

it does sound rather biblical. The monk's habit was as yet unrent

10:55 am

cybernan

ends with a twitch

10:55 am

penquis

true...

10:55 am

hurshy

and if you're writing poetry and you need to fit a rhyme, it comes in very handy to say "untorn" or "unrent" sometimes!

10:56 am

penquis

ty, nan....

10:56 am

cybernan
