NEW CHALLENGE! Post a word rarely seen in the forums in the last year

[Perknose]

Wow Perk, you win t3h interw3bs!

Are you looking through a dictionary or just coming up with words through random association?

Paige, I have a DEEP love (and knowledge) of the English language. I am NOT using a dictionary or any other reference at all. When I say I could go all day, I'm afraid I mean it.

I wish to request a violation of Mr. Perky's entries, he has special powers not made available for the rest of us and is now overlording this thread. I will not tolerate my entries being overwhelmed by his extraneous contributions!

lachrymose

 

[Perknose]

parsimony

2 listings, but, again only 1 direct usage by poster.

 

[ultimatebob]

How about superstring... it has been used 68 times, but only once in the past year. Hmm.

 

[gaidensensei]

For the ultimate WINRAR challenge:

Same rules as original post.
But there must be ONLY 1 reference to your word made within 5-26-2009 to 5-25-2010.
The closer it is to 5-26-2009, the upper lead you have ahead of the others.

Should you find a word that has broken these barriers, you may become associated with the rest of us in the elite tier.

 

[Perknose]

Incharitable

NEVER used, as far as I can tell.

Uncharitable is a word, but I've never heard incharitable ever. Are you British, is it a British usage?

 

[ultimatebob]

Unbiasedness

Used 5 times total, but not since 2008.

 

[preCRT]

beatify

Does P&N count?
last used by BoomerD 01-19-2008
used once before & quoted a few times

 

[Perknose]

lachrymose

No listings in the last year. Only 3 ever, and only one original use by a poster!

But, c'mon, man, if you're gonna' play, do the damn search and post the results, please!

 

[ultimatebob]

Uncharitable is a word, but I've never heard incharitable ever. Are you British, is it a British usage?

I believe it's British... I've saw it in a Shakespeare play once.

It's in the dictionary, though, so it would count if someone actually used it once this year.

 

[Perknose]

Unbiasedness

Used 5 times total, but not since 2008.

May be a legitimate word, but damn awkward formation not often used.

 

[Perknose]

pettifoggery

Heh, not completely uncommon word apparently never used on AT.

 

[Perknose]

senescent

No listings in the last year, only 7 ever, but just 3 actual usages, one by me.

OK, I gotta' force myself to stop again and go towards the light!

 

[Zebo]

redivivus - 3 uses, only by Zebo.

I'm just amazed at your creativeness! I know most of your words and occasionally use some of them but if asked to come up with a unique word off the top of my head I draw a bit of a blank!

 

[Rubycon]

pentachlorophenol

Dock workers called it "penta" and sometimes incorrectly creosote.

Most of the words I'm searching for get no hits on this site and the ones that do are used by me. Sad eh?

Yeah, I'm really trying to stay with words that might have a hit.

And, thanks! ()
