Any SCRABBLE players out there? If so, I've got big news for you. I just got the fourth edition of the Scrabble Dictionary, and there are now five new two letter words (total of 101) that will dramatically affect game play.

They are FE, KI, OI, QI, and ZA. Previously there were no two letter words with Q or Z and F was just FA and K was just KA. FE, KI, QI, and ZA all take S's. OI does not.

ZA is short for PIZZA.

Soon™ all words will have only 2 letters or less. That way school will be just 2 years, highschool aother 2 and college a month. The entire world will have higher education.

And what do the rest mean?OI is a shout,I know that,but what about FE,KI and QI?Is FE iron?But then all of the elements should be allowed,right?

Shouldn't that be OY, and yiddish?

Interesting...And I thought it was only a brittish shout.Sort of a slang like yo.

Sorry about the double posting. Sometimes happens when I use Back. -C

Thats why you should use opera

So,how about explaining those words,or whatever they are?

I used to be very good at scrabble. My general strategy was to make the board so congested that my opponent couldn't enter any words himself.

Now this one's great:

a type of punk rock featuring violent, racist lyrics, associated esp. with skinheads.

And those are words used in America? I've never heard anyone say Za instea of Pizza.

Sine those words will be very easy to make, the point values for K, Q, and Z need to be lowered.

I used to play scrabble quite a lot, but haven't played in some time now.

GOW

that just seems so wrong, does everything need to be made easy nowadays?

DaemianLucifer · Unread postby **DaemianLucifer** » 14 Dec 2006, 02:22

Yup.Easy and flashy.

It's ridiculous .... games tend to be real easy, people are complaining cause the re-released FF3 is too hard just cause you can't save every 10 seconds, and you might die a few times in working out a bosses weakness .... it's a shame

DaemianLucifer · Unread postby **DaemianLucifer** » 14 Dec 2006, 03:31

Yes,just what they did with thief 3

I never beat the second part,and thats what is so charming about.Also,look how they destroyed commandos 2 and 3

asandir · Unread postby **asandir** » 14 Dec 2006, 04:47

Commandos was damn tough, but that was the whole challenge ... didn't play the others .... so many games where you can't die now ....

I know many non-racist oi-bands, the business is a very good example of that, even the clash had a few songs with "oi" in them. and skinheads != racists (well some are, but that doesn't mean all skinheads are racists...)

You do realise that the most common use of that word in english is for refering to neo-nazies, right?! I'm pretty sure you're not a nazi if you ain't racist.

And there's also a difference between using the word in your lyrics and being part of a type of punk-rock.
