[jmsmith12345]

I would brag about my prodigious manhood, but that would only serve in displaying a prodigious ego, and since I am not egotistic, my prodigious heart and prodigious humility will not allow for such a prodigious statement.

I believe that using prodigious 7 times in a very short post may be considered a prodigious achievement.

I swear my sense of humor is so juvenile. I know what I want to write here...hehehe

[gdgrlgnbd]

Well it seems there are some M&F members with a prodigious vocabulary. I wonder besides jm, who else feels they have something prodigious to share?

[Fargo...really]

So far, I have not used prodigious as prodigiously at work as I would like to, but I am putting prodigious amounts of effort into it that I hope will pay off prodigiously.

[stellabelle]

I find a prodigious ego, far less attractive than a prodigious mind!

[Fargo...really]

How did everyone do?

I was only to get prodigious into 5 conversations yesterday and was not able to get anyone to say it back.

[Fargo...really]

Well, since no one claimed more than 5x for Monday, I will claim the honor to nominate today's secret word:
bounce
(other forms, such as bouncing, bouncer, bounced and bouncy are acceptable)

[Tiglet]

I'd love to play, I'll be in tomorrow when I can actually be on here for a while. Good luck everyone with todays word.

[Jelly's Brandi]

:lmao
this is way too much thinking for me but imma gonna bounce this word around a little at work today. they are going to think i am insane.. . but what's new?

[gdgrlgnbd]

Let's get this place bouncing. I will do my best to beat Fargo and bounce him out of the winner spot.

[Fargo...really]

I'd love to play, I'll be in tomorrow when I can actually be on here for a while. Good luck everyone with todays word.

Tig, the aim of the game is using the secret word "in the real world".

So far, I have bounced today's secret word off my barber, my boss and one prospect.

Well with a word like 'bouncy' I'm gonna win this one, lol. I've used it 3 times already and I haven't even been trying.

Let's see, describing me, fabric softner (bounce works right) and someone else describing me.

[Fargo...really]

I finished with 5 again today.

Who all got more bounces in than that (and if you are close, you still have 1 3/4 hrs to do so)?

[Kissie]

Does talking to the walls count???? Damn it bounces right off them....I am going t bounce my ass right back to bed!!!

[gdgrlgnbd]

I suck at bouncing around the bounce word. Whatever.

[Tiglet]

Anyone want to tell me how bouncy I am to give me six? :wy
Please and thank you.

[Fargo...really]

Anyone want to tell me how bouncy I am to give me six? :wy
Please and thank you.

:smdance::smdance::smdance:

Good job, Tig!!!

What's Wednesday's Secret Word of the Day?

[Tiglet]

:smdance::smdance::smdance:

Good job, Tig!!!

What's Wednesday's Secret Word of the Day?
I could make it easy for me and say 'book' (I have a bookstore) lol but let's make it...

unassuming

sorry I'm a little late with it a gal needs some sleep.

[Fargo...really]

Twice for me.
Tig, what did you get?
Anyone else playing?

[Tiglet]

Twice for me.
Tig, what did you get?
Anyone else playing?
You tied me. Sigh, who'd have thought it would be such a difficult word to get people to say! Your pick.

[catmom]

Unassuming:

adj.
Exhibiting no pretensions, boastfulness, or ostentation; modest.

just thought I'd add the definition...I'm anal, I know...but truly, I wanted to be sure I used it correctly!

[Fargo...really]

You tied me. Sigh, who'd have thought it would be such a difficult word to get people to say! Your pick.

No, here's a rule clarification:
In case of tie, reigning champion retains naming rights.

What's the new World of the Day, Tig?

[Tiglet]

Well thank you kind sir.

Hmmm, lets see....AGENDA (I think I'll start with an A word and go through Z)

If we post the word does it count?

[Fargo...really]

Well thank you kind sir.

Hmmm, lets see....AGENDA (I think I'll start with an A word and go through Z)

If we post the word does it count?

Rule clarification:
It only counts if it is spoken aloud (any mute players will be given special consideration on a case-by-case basis).

P.S. I already have one agenda so far today!

[scoobertina]

now here is a game I can play... one question...

do we use the words in posts? or in the real world?

I can't be online all the time unfortunately...
it just isn't a part of the agenda for my day....

[Fargo...really]

I was one and done for the secret word today (insert joke about my sex life here).
How did everyone else do?

[Tiglet]

Didn't have one agenda today, sigh.
