You two ignoring #1278, then? :^)
Those who enjoy a challenge always press on regardless.
And I hope there will be more than two brave enough to follow. 1302dtw42Nov 24, 2011, 3:01pm 
hm, I was enjoying the challenge of skirting round the already-used words, but the quicker refresh times in #15 are tempting too. Damn, looks like I'll have to keep going in each...

Yes, that's it - best of both worlds

"prego" ? "regos" ? are these English words? 1673hazeljuneEdited: Dec 15, 2011, 2:07am 
#1672 ." rego "is a term used for "registration " as for a motor vehicle. "prego" is in the Urban dictionary. 1674dtw42Edited: Dec 15, 2011, 2:42am 
#1673: LOL, I wondered that. "Prego" is just about in the OED too, as a variant spelling of "preggo", Australian slang for pregnant. Did look more like Jacqueline had switched to Spanish though didn't it?
Aaaanyway, next word from 'gores'....

Ah!. One lives and learns. Well, at least one lives ...

Had to dig deep to find some of the words! Some word/ltr combo have been used.... so I kept trying until I found something. :)

Hm, urbandictionary.com calls it a "bastardization of huge", but with only one usage example/one person's definition, I suspect "bastardization" in this instance is a euphemism for "numpty's mis-spelling"? I'd be temped to allow this ONLY if no-one can come up with a "proper-dictionary" word to play from #1996...

from 2101
t o n e s 2103dtw42Edited: Jan 12, 2012, 5:55pm 
2100 is a sort of Japanese packed lunch. 2101 I don't know except it was an old TV series :^)
n o n e t
#2100 and 2101: normally I would not think that these words would be acceptable, being "very Japaneseee". But they are both in the OED, complete with English quotations. tenko: a muster parade or roll-call of prisoners in Japanese prison camps in the WWII (after which the TV series was named)
t o n n e
(again foreign, but in the OED as "the French word for ton, adopted in English use to denote a metric ton".
