I'm really bored, so I guess I'll start something here to revive my exitement. I'll pick a word I've seen on the forums, and you'll post a word you think is better. At the end of the day (-9 hours of the server time), I will pick a Word Of The Day. The next day, we will pick a new Word. It goes on and on...

My word is n00b3rt (forgot who made it up.)

Actually, it was one minute. I think Jimmy has been waiting for that minute since the start of time. He must truly love the thing that is, 'PIE'.

A few years ago now my cousin and I used to play "word of the week" where one of us would come up with an obscure word and throughout the week we'd both try and get it into as many conversations as possible with the highest number of conversations hijacked being the winner.

The final word, one that remains immortalised in our competition, was "lexyphonic".

Which meens somebody who uses long or obscure words... .


Which is the biggest tool? The computer, or the muppet who invented it?

The Victorians were much better at naming diseases. Like the 'Black Death' and 'Rickets', nowadays they're just trying to be clever.

I mean PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­KONIOSIS; they would have called that 'Soot Lung'.

Percussion, the best musical section there is.

I'm going to miss my old band teacher, he always yelled at me all funny when I ducked down beneath the drumset and talked with teh hot chick drummer. Too bad she quit band :/ Meh, doesnt matter, she lives right up the street from me.

Did I mention I chose the word "percussion"?

Percussion?

I dunno man, the alto saxophone section at my high school is pretty sexy, not like those lazy tenors.
What type of band are you in? Regular concert, jazz, marching?
