A (stupid) challenge
 
Can you come up with any descriptive words that do not require a vowel? (no using numbers, symbols, or other letters of the alphabet as a substitute)

Medieval Bob 2004-05-08 05:58 PM

All words require vowels...

Grav 2004-05-08 05:58 PM

KagomJack 2004-05-08 05:59 PM

just to be a little "easy" you can use abbreviations.

also, to prove I can do this myself ;)

wry adj.

1) Dryly humorous, often with a touch of irony.
2) Temporarily twisted in an expression of distaste or displeasure: made a wry face.
3) Abnormally twisted or bent to one side; crooked: a wry nose.
4) Being at variance with what is right, proper, or suitable; perverse.

Vowels are A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y.

Raziel 2004-05-09 01:15 AM

"And sometimes Y." That's so fucking lame. That always used to drive me nuts as a kid. Why isn't "Y" a fucking vowel? Is it only a vowel when we need one and you can't find one of the other five in a certain word? Ridiculous.

I blame the French.

Titusfied 2004-05-10 02:49 PM

I don't believe this can be done.

actually, it can be!

Wry is no longer useable.

Titusfied 2004-05-10 04:55 PM

I'll save everyone the grief:

Just about all those words have the letter "y" in it, which is treading a fine line.

I can't believe you just stopped my game >:| Oh well, no prize will be awarded now :D

Penny_Bags 2004-05-10 06:25 PM

Is the prize a nice steaming pile of dead KagomJack? If so, please do continue the contest.

Sovereign 2004-05-10 09:31 PM

.....and a partridge in a pear tree.

KagomJack 2004-05-13 04:39 PM

actually, the prize was of a monetary value.

D3V 2004-05-13 10:02 PM

can abbreviations count as descriptive 'words'?

zagggon 2004-05-13 10:46 PM
