Scrabble...

...Just remembered a tragic scrabble incident that I suffered a few years ago. Thought I'd drop it in here to see what you guys think.
While playing scrabble with the family of my (oh-so) "then"
boyfiend, I took my turn and laid down the word 'suss'.
Which as far as I knew then and now, means something along the lines of, "to figure out" or contemplate/understand by examining the bits and factors of some issue of conundrum or situation, whatever. Most of the words I know, love and use, I learned in the great school of General Context, and so am not sure where I heard it first, or picked it up.
Anyway, they insisted no such word exsisted, and we pulled out the dictionary for to check, and it wasn't there. I was crushed, felt betrayed, didn't get to use the word, and worst of all, had to sit and endure the silent but cryptic "I told you so's" of the rest of the players.
In the years since that game, I have seen the word in print, books, magazines, news papers, etc. no less than thirty or fourty times, I am sure. I had a fantasy of starting to clip it out each time I saw it, save them all up, and mail that smug family a special little one word package.
But that seems petty. And stalkerish. No?
So..."suss"...does it exsist or not? Will I get those scrabble points in heaven, or have I been living a lie all this time?

Sooo Hot...

Just like the word "fuck" - it's SO much more than an expletive ...

fuck yeah ....

you go girl...with your word invetinating...that's why I like this tribe better than word freaks, all the same smartiful worditude without the fear of being lynched by grammer nuns. Not that they're not wonderful people...I'm sure...individualy...

There are two blanks. That's why words like ZYZZYVA are
included in the word list.
