Try The Free Dictionary It's a fairly good one, and Winterfate accepted those words indeed, so I'll accept them also.Corribus wrote:It's not in any dictionary I've ever seen, and it's still a derivative of ersatz.

@Muszka: Hmm...I guess no one wants to post that word:
ersatz
(Then again, it's also Sunday. Perhaps that's the reason for the lack of posting? )

I was thinking of boxershorts, too, in my post, but Corribus or anyone else didn't want to notice it.HodgePodge wrote:Yeah, me too. But boxer short(s) is two words and that's not allowed!Muszka wrote:I was thinking of... boxershort but that fits too.
I am astounded & dismayed by the flagrant disregard for the rules of this game. If no one follows the rules, then this game is truly DEAD!
A look into the free dictionary shows "boxershorts" as one word. Is it against the rules then?
And regarding "ersatz" - will "ersatzcoffee, ersatzsilk, ersatzwhiskey..." be allowed or not in future?

Hey. What is that disobeyance of which you speak? as Koni linked, the free dictionary says that boxershorts is one word and it's allowed. I don't know of any other act against rules. Feel free to PM me or post here, regarding any problem.HodgePodge wrote:Yeah, me too.

'Boxers' is the plural for the fighters of the boxing style, so it can be allowed. As far as I know DL didn't allowed this, but Winterfate did, and I taken the game from the letter, so I will follow his rules.Gaildal Cain wrote:Boxers is short for boxershorts, so it's against the rules.
