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

Vanilla – You are welcome. Just returning the favor.
Rebecca – Me too! 🙂
Ratty – Love that one. Very good. Made me think of Monty Python's Spam routine.

Sharkey–It figures you find that on my blog!! Hahaha!

Pillorn–Grace has this. She's on 6 weeks of antibiotics and is SICK and TIRED of taking her pills and it is only week 3.

OK, I was just at Lin's place and I had to enter aboogr to comment.
Notomis- Twin sister of Nokomis
Pillorn- a little known wooly bird whose feathers tend to bunch up in little balls as it ages
S'pla mon- When Bobby McFarin asked his friend to come outside and have fun
I'll do Splamon. Splamon is a fishy Spam like meat that is made from puree of Salmon.
