For March's Sunday strip, we're going to need your help. Please post a single word here in this discussion. I will try and incorporate as many of your words in the dialogue and attempt to maintain some semblance of coherency at the same time.

• Feel free to use verbs, adjectives, nouns, conjuntions, what have you -- all parts of speech are appreciated.
• One word per person -- additional words will be ignored.
• Words over 15 characters will also be ignored (unless they're really good).
• All words should be submitted by Friday, February 21st for inclusion.

And it's only 12 characters.

In Response to Oedipa_Maas (#3999):

Credenza? well you don't _have_ to, it has been done....

epididymis.

and to think that I've been spelling it wrong all these years. Thank you, dictionary.com.

In Response to Oedipa_Maas (#3999):

There's a new rule -- no proper names. I can't link to the definition of this from the strip, and it would probably be difficult for people to understand what it is without explanatory text.

myctophidae - deep-sea fishes comprising the lantern fishes

In Response to jon (#4004):

a) Does that mean Oed gets to try again?
b) Zebu, at least, you could define by showing. Hopefully, this would not apply to epididymis.

In Response to zamphir (#4007):

She can if she wants to; otherwise, I will endeavor to fit it in in some manner, since she contributed before I started arbitrarily making up rules.

In Response to jettaboy20 (#4006):

Again, no proper names, please.

Swimmingly.

I hope these words aren't for the First Annual Goats Spelling Bee.
Here's mine: pomegranate (a thick-skinned several-celled reddish berry that is about the size of an orange and has many seeds with pulpy crimson arils of tart flavor) One of W.C. Fields favorite words and something fun to say.

defenestrate

In Response to jon (#4008):

Alright, I shouldn't have capitalized it. Zebu is not a proper name; it is different name for an ox.

But if I get a second chance how about this:
antipodal

Tricky

Of course.

Graham

My word: sphacelate

It means "to affect with gangrene" =)

I found it digging around for a super-long word for an extra credit spelling testin 4th grade. My teacher was very grossed-out. The wussy.

In Response to Oedipa_Maas (#4043):

I assumed it was a simpsons reference. zebu, dewlap, credenza...

except I forgot the dewlap bit for my previous post.

In Response to jon (#4009):

Aw, damn it, sorry. How about: trifecta.

In Response to tor (#4093):

You have shamed my Simpsons knowledge. What is that from?

nacho

In Response to Oedipa_Maas (#4097):

The Simpsons. HTH.
