It has been quite a while since we’ve played the Verification Word Game here on Secondary Roads.  You’ve probably noticed some of those [supposedly] random letter strings we enter to post comments on each others blogs are actually obscure words.  Here are just a few of those that I’ve spotted in the last three months.  (Please note that I’ve taken the liberty to add the occasional apostrophe or space to help our understanding. . .)

I’m smact – Another way of saying I have been hit — very hard.

Nurion – Nutrition without the tea.

Sable or– when the wife wants a fur coat it is this or mink.

Witchen – What trick or treaters did at the end of last month. 

Also:

Saw cult – Sharp-eyed Sharky spotted this last month.  She said the meaning should be obvious.  Okay . . .  Back to Halloween.

Deo gimme – Vanilla spotted this one recently.  Deo is Latin for God and, well you know the rest.  Sounds like some prayers I’ve heard.  Haven’t you heard them too?

Brat hell – Our friend Pricilla said this is “A place full of Abby goats.”

Spoing – Lin says this is “The sound Midnight makes bumping into the wall.”

Thanks to these very special friends who sent along these nifty words they spotted online.  I appreciate their reports.  I’d also be glad to hear from you.  If you spot one of those verification words, you know the kind I mean, please let me know.  I’ll report it in the round of the game and link back to your blog.

Now it’s your turn to play the game.  These words showed up on some of your blogs.  What do you think they mean?

Feel free to add punctuation or spaces to the letter strings.  Turn your creativity loose.  I’m looking forward to reading your responses.

Once again it’s time to play the Verification Word Game.  I’m gratified to see that several of you enjoy this game–seemingly as much as I do.  Here is the list of verification words that I had to enter recently to leave comments–perhaps it was on your blog.  These are more than just random strings of letters.  I believe they actually have meaning.

• Joltive – That which gives a kick start.  Energy drinks are joltive.
• Latel – Tardy will suffice.  As in, If you can’t get it in on time, latel have to do.
• Lerot – A French word meaning “putrifaction”
• Orange – That area in west Texas that lies between the N range and the P range
• Outti – A belly button that bulges outward, but you already knew that, didn’t you?
• Patiolog – What you burn in your patio fireplace to keep warm while sitting in your patio furniture on a brisk evening
• Piefur – This indicates the price of a circular, fruit-filled pastry.  As in, I can remember buying a piefur a buck when I was younger.
• Pussnesse – The feline that lives on the shore of a famous Scottish lake that is best known for the serpent-like monster that dwells therein
• Undionin – To reverse the process of dionin

Can you help me with these?

• Aptist –
• Cathole –
• Crided –
• Dedic –
• Pyins –
• Ziering –

Here are two that were sent to me by regular readers of this blog who were kind enough to forward the words and their meanings to me.  To leave comments here, they had to enter these:

• Snatin – A new kind of fabric (tnx Clara)
• Ovelen – A baby oven (tnx Rebecca)

Have you noticed this phenomenon too?  Be sure to tell me about interesting words and their meanings that you encounter here on Secondary Roads.

Once again it’s time to play the verification word game.  Those [supposedly] random strings of letter that we enter to post a comment on our friends’ blogs are indeed supposed to be random.  However, they often spell actual words — even though they may be obscure words.  Here are some recent examples that I have found:

Antsnes – an honorific used when addressing a member of ant royalty
Askabsto – what you do when you make a request of your tummy muscles
Mantion – alternate spelling for a large luxurious dwelling
Mothor – female parental unit of a nocturnal butterfly
Nonshe – a male
Pingnog – similar to beer pong this is played for eggnog
Psynym – a word that you think is related to another word
Saler – a water borne vendor
Tualiz – an ode in homage to a woman named Elizabeth

Can you help me find meanings for these?

Thanks in advance for playing this fun game.

Once again it’s time to play the verification word game.  Those supposedly random strings of letters are supposed to be no more than that – random strings of letters.  I’ve noticed over time that those verification words are nothing more than uncommon or little used words.  Here are some recent examples

• Andis – Also this.  For example, try dat andis.
• Blesseu – A benediction wishing another well.
• Daten – What a guy and a gal do a lot of before they get married.
• Dingi – 1. A small rowboat.  2. Not very clean.
• Distess – A show of disrespect for Dick Tracy’s wife, Tess Trueheart.
• Elviling – What especially bad (evil) elves do.
• Gurivers – Streams of thick toxic waste.
• Immho – An expression used by very humble persons, In My Most Humble Opinion.
• Ratine – Having rat-like characteristics.
• Towlic – What I get when Midnight gives me kitty kisses on the foot.

Our good friend Sharkbytes saw this one: Wininging, which she said means “winging free soaring above the old ways.”  Good catch Shark, and thanks for sharing that with us.

If Shark can come up with the true meaning, so can you.  Can you help with meanings for these verification words?

• Geobrac –
• Orsopen –
• Unquing –

Let me know if you spot other good ones.  I try to play this game with you once a month.

Once again it’s time to play the Verification Word Game.  Those are supposed to be random strings of letters that make no sense.  At least that’s the theory, but you know and I know that it’s not true.  They have meaning.  Sometimes it’s a secret meaning and sometimes it’s not.  So here are words that my friends and I spotted in January (I’ve already got a long list from February):

Achess – One who creates a deep longing in the heart of another person.  The one with the longing is called the “acher.”

Bedfus – This is caused by a person [usually a child] who refuses to neatly arrange the sheets and covers after rising from a night’s sleep.

E-liking – The first step in an online romance.  If this stage goes well, it could lead to E-love.  Otherwise it might end in an E-breakup.

Furtyest – The most furty.  Furty being an adjective meaning “hairy” with the implied characteristic of being thick and heavy.

Hylaxien – A person or thing from the planet Hylax.  (Ref. The Standard Galactic Dictionary, 38th ed.)

Pingine – The quality of being like or related to a ping.

Reightsk – This is Popeye’s way of saying right’s.  As in, “I has me reightsk.”

Retyper – The person in the steno pool who has to correct manuscripts.

and

Babilib – This one came from my sister Clara who had to enter it to leave a comment on this blog.  She said, “I even have a definition.  You have to adlib but you can’t think of anything intelligent to say so you just babilib.”

Sometimes verification words are just too common to report here.  Recent ones I’ve found are: Grand and Tramp.  Aren’t those ridiculous verifications words, or am I missing something?  Finally, would you care to help me with one or more of these verifications words?

Jurtions
Pribiti
Repir

Keep smiling friends.  Spring is on the way.  Isn’t it?  It had better be!  Folks are needing it bad.

It’s time to play the verification word game again.  You must type in these “random” strings of letters to leave a comment for one of your blog buds.  I’ve noticed that some of them are actual, if unusual, words.  So I offer the following for your approval.

Bigno – Small (not large).
Bottoli – Name given to bottles in the time of Augusts Caesar.
Bubby – Someone you know, but not well enough to call “pally.”
Clerack – The frugalite’s favorite part of the store, the clearance rack.
Coseynit – A comfortable louse egg.
Galip – What you are apt to receive if you anger a woman.
Reedies – Tall thin grassies.
Reptomat – A collection of vending machines that dispense turtles, snakes and lizards.
Uncme – What I told my sister when she said she was going to have a baby.

I need help with these.  I know they are real words, but they are not in my abridged dictionary.  What do they mean?

Hyperchk –
S’ware –
Unducede –
Unrappat –
Whujudist –

It is time for the May edition of Verification Words.  These are those strings of letters that you enter to post a comment on one of your buds’ blog.  Some time ago, I realized that weren’t all nonsense words, as they are supposed to be.  Some of them make perfect sense.  Is something going on here beyond random chance?  I’ll let you decide that.  Here are the words I have for you:

• Braran – The country that results from a merger of Bahrain and Iran.
  
• Disme – Exhibit a lack of respect for my person.
  
• Ensur – Issue a policy to indemnify in case of loss.
  
• Haminetti – An Italian dish made with pork and pasta.
  
• Nosialsi – Spanish phrase meaning, “I cannot see the sea.”
  
• Repunhit – Make another word play concerning an assassination attempt.

I was unable to find a definition for the following.  Can you help?

Wivel.  What do you think it means?
