zil Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) I think we should start a thread for the sole purpose of seeing if we can out-word @Just_A_Guy. While we're at it, we can engage in some persiflage.

Fether Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Now... in considering on joining in, the question crossed my mind. Are there a certain amount of posts we have before a second page is made? Or is it based off of a certain length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zil Posted April 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Which makes me think I may not have been clear - I don't mean write more words, I mean come up with a word no one but JAG would ever use - like "persiflage".

(Anyone can out-vocabularize someone if said someone doesn't speak the language; thus, for the purposes of this fun, we must agree to a common language, which I just arbitrarily decided must be English.)

Guest Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Discovering the aforementioned summons to contest, the resident sesquipedalian upholds said gauntlet with declaration of malice. And lacking in judicial accreditation, the site chevalier offers his meager artistry in such endeavor as to render the deft adoption of prevailing electronic automation indispensable. Such automation obtained and having utilized forthwith, the product of such industry is hereby granted to provide witness to the capacity of the hireling who dares such provocation.

NeuroTypical Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) Can we make crap up like they do in love poems? Like removing letters and adding apostrophes to make the meter hit right? becomes I'm reasonably certain JAG has written a plethora of love poems.

My lovely wife cleaned up after me, thus proving her devotion. In addition to the risk of portraying ourselves as blatherskites, this thread is likely to become argle-bargle if we don't vigilate ourselves. With that in mind, the less enlightened among us may interpret your absquatulation as having originated from a borborygmus inducing event, which was likely your intent, although I doubt such is the case.
