Also, "Crimespoon" Is Not A Word, BUT IT SHOULD BE

 (Scene: AMELIA, the DUDE, and 妹 are playing Scrabble)

 

妹: Dangit, what am I supposed to do with this J?  “J-slime”? “J-vent”?

AMELIA: That only works in Rapper Scrabble. God, that’d be a bitch to play, wouldn’t it? Random P’s and J’s all over …

DUDE: Z would be worth one point!

AMELIA: “HIZZOUSE”! ANOTHER TRIPLE WORD SCORE, MUTHAFUCKA!

 

Later

 

AMELIA: “Brains”? What is this, Zombie Scrabble?

妹: It should be!

AMELIA: “Arruurgh” isn’t legal!

妹: Use it in a sentence!

DUDE: Fine! “Blarg arruurgh braaaains urgh blaaaagh.”

妹: Okay, fair enough.

 

And don’t get us started on Comic Book Scrabble.  (“‘THWP?” “It’s the sound of a shuriken being thrown, okay?”)

I've been trying to come up with acceptable rules for nonsense scrabble. There's the most important rule, of course:

1. The word cannot be found in any nearby dictionary(including any foreign language ones present and/or the Internet dictionaries).

But it may need refinement. Such as a rule for pronunciation. But that gets difficult.

The truly hard part, though, is finding someone to play it with me!

I've got a good judge for that game: the password strength assessors on the UO e-mail server. You had to WORK to make a password it'd accept: "'Gzplxtz' is a word that has some letters in common with an old Tibetan word for a mud-covered hen. Somebody might guess it! Pick another."

Everything I thought of for my UO e-mail password was too close to a real word to please the server... so I had to resort to using pokemon terminology for my password.

BAHAHA.

I started writing them in Leet. Finally, a use for it!
