"Zot" (Words With Friends)

[CovenBuster]

Anyone play Words With Friends? If so, have you ever tried to play the word "zot"? Would you believe the system won't accept it? Whaaaaaaat??? Apparently they don't understand the influence FR has on the culture!

A couple of years ago when I was fairly new to the game, I thought I was about to make an impressive move. I had the "z" sitting on a triple letter square, and I was creating two words using the triple z twice (vertically and horizontally). It was going to be my highest scoring word to date. I was so proud. Then I hit the "play" button, and to my astonishment, the system said that "zot" is not an acceptable word! "This can't be," I told myself. There are ZOTs aplenty at FR. So I hit the button again. Same results. Harrrrruumph!

I considered giving up the game, but I was already addicted.

So that's my sad tale. And here's my question: How can we get "zot" added to the new words list that comes out every year? And my second question is: How can we get it added to WWF?

Your “WWF” must be a commie pinko liberal entity, dedicated to suppressing all fun and games at FR!

That's it! That's got to be it! There can be no other explanation! But I'm already hooked. So much so that I could even feel grumpy ol' Alec Baldwin's pain when they made him shut it down on the tarmac. LOL!

I’ve never played Words With Friends.
[officially, anyway]

However, I have mightily annoyed people by challenging them to name bands/musicians with a color in their name.

And once again, beautiful minds randomly connect in the aether....

You mean like -

White Stripes, Green Carnation, Blue Oster Cult, Green Jelly, Pink Floyd, Black Eyed Peas, Black Sabbath, Blackfield, Black Sones, Café Tacuba, Simon Dreams In Violet, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Amaranth, Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes, Robi Draco Rosa, Barao Vermelho, Carlinhos Brown, Green Day, James Brown, Shoking Blue, Simply Red, Green River, Black Label Society, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Negro y Blanco, Los Querubines Negros del Molocotongo,The Legendary Pink Dots, Black Tape For A Blue Girl, Barry White, Big Black, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Johnnie (Ham) Jones, Johnnie (Lamb) Jones, Horace Ivory and Elvis Peacock?

OK. So the last four were running backs in the 1978 Texas vs Oklahoma Football Game.

Soft
White
Underbelly

[and you cannot use Google or football players]

Usually, SWB, Blue Swede and New Riders Of The Purple Sage end the game.

Well, if you’re going alphabetically then -

Average White Band

- would be the kickoff.

(And BTW I *NEVER* use Google.)

[Vendome]

It’s a Masonic joke.

Two other people got it.

[Slings and Arrows]

Well..*technically* it’s a zot thread...

[Salamander]

Not alphabetically.

More free association.

Great White.

[Salamander]

Amaranth is the trade name of a color, not a color, proper.

[Salamander]

You should have said simply, red.
