Not many people talk about those little brass doohickey thingies that hold things together... I think they're called "brads". *grin* Oh… and who wouldn’t want to use the word Joy?? ;) Joy is a HAPPY word.

So I was a bonehead... wouldn't be the first time. hehe Well, you remember how to spell them when you’re not on percocet for going against doctor’s orders and eating grease & tabasco. ;) Now I’m going to have to think of something else.

That's part of the challenge. You have to find something that actually makes the list, yet is uncommon enough to be near the very bottom. "Borborygmus" is a really strange word, but in looking it up I noticed that it ends "mus" instead of "mous" as you had it (though neither spelling makes the list at WordCount). However, you still get points in my book for coming up with a word I've never heard before in my life. Carrie,

(YES, it's a REAL word - one of our spelling/vocabulary words my 9th grade English teacher Mr. Byson gave us one week - it's stuck in my mind ever since). I tried again with 'decrescendo' and that wasn't there either (another Byson word)... Do I win? ;) Crescendo ranked in the 28k range though. One thing about Mr. Byson - you remembered his vocab words .. AND how to spell them. hehehe I tried with ‘borborygmous’ and didn’t even rate on the scale… what gives!?!?
