FG: Hangman 23

[joncha]

To bed. There is a 24 hour turn limit, after all.

[joncha]

Well... I think neither plonk (slang) nor dictionary (out-of-turn) should get a point, but I'm willing to let Drogue set the next word, as I'm off to work soon.

'Final' too.

So out of all those words did any count?

[Ljube]

Plonk, if it indeed was slang deserves no point. If it was slang than whether it was guessed or not has no bearing on the next word. As Paddy set the next word immediately and that next word is unquestionably not slang or informal and was correctly guessed by Drogue, Drogue should set the next word in addition to receiving a point.

Or to put it simpler - game on.

Plonk is most definitely slang.

Dictionary.com lists it as either:
a) "Chiefly British Slang" for a bottle of wine
b) variant of Plunk

Either way not a legal word.

I believe since Joncha guessed the word, he gets to set the word, although Drogue may set it if he beats Joncha to the punch as Joncha said he could.

Drogue does not receive a point, however, because it was not the legal word at the time - regardless of the slangness of plonk, Joncha guessed it right, and so Paddy had no business setting a new word at the time. That's been our consistent interpretation with slang words in the past.

[DrSpike]

Don't think you should get points for guessing invalid words. Drogue's reward can be to set the next one.

[Ljube]

In view of such convincing argument presented by snoopy I concur. No points for Drogue and either he or joncha set the next word, whoever comes first.

[snoopy369]

Somebody post a word

[DrSpike]

Be patient, I'm sure someone will be along soon.

[Grandpa Troll]

Umm

Im dumb, ****ry and oft over worked, beaten like a rented mule and never seem to get ahead..but Ill give it a whirl

If I get out of line penalize me and beat me, make me write bad checks..just dont hate me

[snoopy369]

Somebody still includes Joncha or Drogue only at this point, for about 12 more hours.

/me notices a MSN popup with that first name... perhaps it shall be sooner than ye think

[joncha]

I'm here now.
