Words that end in DDY

Post by **spot** » Thu Nov 04, 2010 6:30 am

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 subsequent investigation into words ending in ARK induced rule revisions.

The hunt for words ending in ARB was mercifully brief.

An exciting contest for words ending in ERB, saw an avalanche of submissions from an international array of players.

Players struggled for words ending in ERO, several tripping on the rule revisions regarding dictionary searches and context displays.

Odie then pipped a field of contestants producing words ending in EDO in a nailbiting finish worthy of Takeshi's Castle.

Most recently AussiePam startled the world by claiming to be "coffeedy" while producing words ending in EDY. AussiePam is docked two points on this game's scoresheet, for cheek.

In the interests of fair adjudication in this round

every entry must have a sample sentence attached which shows the word employed in a natural English setting

Entries score double if the sample sentence is a legitimate quotation from a published work

Players are courteously reminded that dictionary searches are forbidden

Good luck to all our contestants!

Once a name or word has been offered in the thread it may not be offered again. Proper nouns, acronyms and abbreviations, where they lack alternate non-derivative meanings which are neither proper, acronymic or abbreviated, are excluded. 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.

"Buddy" I have a buddy who lives on the island of Kauai.

A perfect entry sees Carla take the lead in this exciting contest. If nobody else posts that's quite enough for her to win the round.

Eddy. The eddy of water washed out my flower bed.

ZAP · Post by **ZAP** » Thu Nov 04, 2010 8:30 am

Are there rules on how often one may make an entry? If not will you beat me with a waddy if I put this one up here?

Post by **spot** » Thu Nov 04, 2010 11:29 am

Good lord yes - have you not read the small print? "Consecutive posts within the game thread must not contain submissions from the same player". I do like waddy though, you could slip it in when the going gets tough.

Giddy

Tabby was giddy with excitement at the opportunity to post to yet another thread on Forum Garden.

Post by **spot** » Thu Nov 04, 2010 12:35 pm

Blimey they're crawling out from the undergrowth tonight. Welcome to FG, tabby.

Waddy. Going back to read the fine print after that lashing with a waddy!

Thank you for the welcome, spot!

Biddy

The elderly woman was offended when she heard herself referred to as an old biddy.

Muddy. I don't like to muddy the waters but . . .I wonder if Muddy Waters did?

Post by **spot** » Thu Nov 04, 2010 2:29 pm

There's more of them than I thought, evidently.

Widdy

The judge thought it would be witty to hang him from a widdy.

Baddy: Sometimes a person isn't really a baddy, he/she's simply misunderstood.

I think we'll need a confirmatory photo for that one.

Cruddy

After working outside all day, she felt cruddy and wanted to take a bath.

ZAP · Post by **ZAP** » Thu Nov 04, 2010 4:55 pm

Soddy. I saw a sod house (soddy) when I was in Minden, Nebraska.

Fuddy Duddy

As he got older, he became an old fuddy duddy.

Toddy. I don't think I've ever had a toddy.

Ruddy

His complexion was ruddy.

Kiddy. They have kiddy rides for tots at amusement parks.

sparkey · Post by **sparkey** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 1:41 am

If real names are allowed - P Diddy. Does anyone really like P Diddy's music?

What a fantastic idea for a game!!

ZAP · Post by **ZAP** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 10:07 am

Faddy. I wonder how many pants have actually fallen down since this low-slung faddy began.

tabby · Post by **tabby** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 1:37 pm

Since we can add names, how about G. Gordon Liddy?

The Watergate scandal ended the career of G. Gordon Liddy.

Uh. I don't think we're allowed to use Proper nouns.

From the rules:

" Proper nouns, acronyms and abbreviations, where they lack alternate non-derivative meanings which are neither proper, acronymic or abbreviated, are excluded." Submissions must use current English spelling adjudicated from the Oxford English Dictionary.

tabby · Post by **tabby** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 4:24 pm

Okay, well I just tossed it in there because sparkey added P Diddy so I thought it was allowed. No harm intended!

Thanks ZAP, didn't mean to rock the boat - just new here. Out of curiosity, where are the rules posted?

Yeah, I missed them too. :wah:

In Post #1, but some of them are in pretty small print, as I found out when I tried to post 2 words in a row.

ZAP · Post by **ZAP** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 1:56 pm

Is this game closed?

Post by **spot** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 1:58 pm

I'd not have thought so, no. It closes when nobody can think of any more entries.

Fuddy-duddy. Has this been used yet?

Do you need a sentence?

How about:

Spot can be a bit of an old fuddy-duddy when he wants to be. *snigger, wink and grin*

[/QUOTE]Were I to find you'd never read the small print at the end of the opening post to these word game threads I started I'd not be surprised - the opening post of this thread, for example, is at http://www.forumgarden.com/forums/word- ... ost1342353 and the "Once a word has been offered in the thread it may not be offered again" clause started around October 2008, ten games ago.

So yes, you're supposed to go back and see each word. Otherwise there's no way for each game round to end, is there. Other word game threads may be never-ending but this series isn't, this series is a parody of the very notion of word gaming, it exists to make mock of the idea while amusing those who join in. The rule, together with the obscurity of the ending, is designed to limit the number of posts a participant can make into the thread, with a view to frustrating post-count whores.

Odie · Post by **Odie** » Sat Jul 23, 2011 10:38 pm

so it's in your threads only.......hmmmmmmmm

people who post in word games are not post count whores as you call us, we just enjoy the games.

lots of us use to play them including mods and still do.....do you consider mods post count whores?

doubtful.
