Now, I like Scrabble. I'm fairly competent at it, having a myriad of lexiconal linguisticals at my disposal.
So, I'm now playing the
Grrrrrr!
Now, I'm not that bad even at this. In fact, most of the time, I'm right thrashing my opponents. Mwah ha ha ha ha.
My problem with it is that long time players are exploiting it with nonsense they've picked up from other players.
● Foreign words!
● Words that don't exist!
● Words that some people would never use unless they picked it up from Words With Wankshafts!
● Acronyms and abbreviations that sould be disallowed!
● Proper, common english words that are rejected because it's an American dictionary writ by them Yanks who sailed across the ocean and mangled the language so they can't spell anything properly no more!
Grrrrr,Grrrrr, and Grrrrr again!
XYM : "What? You've played QI. That's not a word!"
Player: "Yes it is! It's mandarin for Life Energy"
XYM : "Well, fuck off! You can't have foreign words! The English for Life
Energy is... Life Energy, not fucking ching chong chink slitty eyed
babble!"
Player: "Well, the app let me have it"
XYM : "Right, The Xym is playing... Bonjour"
* Sorry, Bonjour is not an acceptable word *
Oh, so Xym can't use French, but others can use Mandarin? Grrrrr!XYM : "Right, in that case The Xym is playing... Fey. Proper, english word.
Faerie-like, fated, beautiful, elfin. You know, Fey. In the dictionary!"
* Sorry, Fey is not an acceptable word *
XYM : "Fuck you! Fuck off! Fuck you right off! Fey is acceptable you twatarse fucking app! Oh, great. I make a so-called acceptable word
and now The Xym is left with IUVIIUI. ClitSkittles."
I reckon the tactic is just to randomly plonk letters and hope it accepts some random bollocks as valid.
* Xym plonks down random letters *
XYM : "Feck me - I got points for THAT? It's not even a valid word!"
* resolves to make up words and hope I get some triple words with double letters. With that bloody K, V, J & X that I can't bastard well shift *
Player: "OK, I play DURNS"
XYM : "What? There's deffo no such word!"
* reaches for dictionary - there's no such word! There's Durn - alternative of Darn, as in Darn it Cletus, kin ye stop aliun probin' ya sista aynus, but there's no such shitting thing as durns! Fucksake *
* tries playing Dagnammit, Dagnamit, and other hillbilly phraseologies and all are rejected *
* Xym throws a strop *
