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?
I think it was Viagra.
Rofl!
"Excuse me. Sir, I'm going to have to ask that you power down your little word game."
Slow cousin Walter forgot Deep Purple.
When Roger takes his proton pill
The crooks begin to worry,
For they know they can’t escape
Roger’s mighty fury—
Roger Ramjet, he’s our man ....
etc.
I grew up with that TV show on Saturday mornings. All the kooky villains and the insipid dialogue, it was campy and fun!
Loved that commercial.
I guess no one will have to power down their little word games since cell phone use will now be allowed on flights.
Gee. That esoteric stuff is so amusing. /sarc
