Word of the Week Challenge
Jump to: Newest in thread
I am sure it would be fun to have a word of the week challenge... picking a word and seeing just how many times you can use it on and off of here.
Not a common everyday word, but nothing too obscure either. |

"Using it correctly?
Might be more fun if it wasn't.
But in a sentence that makes some sort of sense? Otherwise there will just be random insertions into threads."
Oh yes... I was going to do a pun about slipping it in, but changed my mind. |

"I like the word fruition it's an overlooked beauty of a word. Would that work x"
If that's your word, use it. I'm only giving words out because when there were only three of us I thought it would be interesting to not know what words we had. Polo's game... and from an Olympic thread we now know she is the queen of all games. |

I wouldn't go as far as saying the queen of all games.... just a former internastional sports person who represented GB. I think I may have mentioned that before. |

Nologo has used his. I've used mine twice. I haven't found others yet... |

"what do we win?  and how/who is going to judge it?
"
Ok - finished my work so I can get on with this new game now...
I think we should trial this for a day - a week and I might expire.
I can't read all of the threads - I read a lot but even I have to do work every once in a while.
So, we will trust each other to post how many times we have used our words, citing the odd thread to prove it has been used. Don't forget to include examples of how you used it out there in the non Fab world.
If you can also guess what words other people have used all the better.
Prize....? I'll cogitate that one.

Good evening my fellow loquacious wordsmiths.
Please post your guess at the words people have been using by 10am tomorrow morning, if you have time.
Participants inserting words into threads on here and their life today are:
Polo - the instigator of this game
Femme - full of Olympic spirit she threw herself into the fray
nologo - no fuss, just asked how to play
Cutensassy - game to give it go
Diamondsmiles - giving her words away before even starting to play
adswellfit - keen to extend into etymology
_sm - too much time on her hands and obviously with no preparation for a wedding to contend with at all
Minxie - interested in Wombles so decided to play this game
and
me - random word generator
Don't give your word away yet - just state how many times you have used it on here and out there. Tomorrow we will update on proof of use!

"very comfused . com  "
You didn't ask me for a word. But, that doesn't stop you (or anyone else) trying to work out which words the participants are trying to get into posts and into their everyday conversation. Obviously, you only have posts to go by.
Apologies if my instructions have been unintelligible. |

They started yesterday. I have spotted a couple of them (but then I know what the words are). |

How are you all doing? I admit to one cheat use of my word today - I told a friend about the game and we spent a little while thinking of ways of slipping it innocently into my meeting this afternoon. |

"A word please!
And not 'oranjeboom' if possible!
I can't give you a word as I am way too old..."
No fair! 
How am I meant to entice all these lovely forum newbies if I can't play? |
