Words that end in ARB

The "Words That End In" franchise

proudly presents

the most successful game thread of all history,

back on ForumGarden by POPULAR DEMAND!

We tried a while ago to post only words which ended in INTH. It was all too brief.

This was followed by INCH. It was an overnight success!

A third outing, of words ending in ONCH, brought out intense rivalry!

We then moved into high gear with words ending in ONCK, the most hard-fought contest to date.

The search for words ending in ANK, was reviewed in Time Magazine as "reminiscent of Mrs Thrale's gatherings".

The most recent, for words ending in ARK, induced rule revisions.

Good luck to all our contestants!

Submissions must use current English spelling adjudicated from the Oxford English Dictionary. Consecutive posts within the game thread must not contain submissions from the same player. The use of computer software to generate submissions is forbidden. Relatives and employees of the game's management may not enter. The competition is governed by English Law. The winner of this competition will be entered in the annual ForumGarden Competition Winners' Knock-out Photo Contest. No prize carries financial value exceeding the lowest denomination coin of the realm, for which it may be exchanged at the request of the winner. This is a game of skill without payment of money or money’s worth or the provision of goods or services and does not constitute a lottery, pool, prize game or chain-gift scheme.

How about Narb - the epitome of a loser, a typical narb is an intellectually inferior, sexually challenged individual.

It'd be a proper noun.

It's more properly an acronym standing for a No Apparent Reason Boner. I'm not sure we've considered acronyms before, subsidiary derivations like the one you provide stem from it.

Are we perhaps straying into areas where "the use of computer software to generate submissions is forbidden" takes effect?

Are the correct terms for pesticides banned under the rules of the game?

It would, as you see evidenced here, open the floodgates.

Do they not count as Proper Nouns? I'd have thought they did.
