Good morning, and welcome to all my WordNerdy friends and family!
Quick question to get the fun ball rolling:
Can you add to this list?
(Credit for this meme goes to Chip MacGregor–saw it on his FB page, and almost snorted coffee!)
I did an internet search on “WordNerd”, and boy howdy, did I get some fun stuff to read.
Your turn…and, go!
Deb, does that mean women can’t testify? 😉
Some ideas are just nutty.
Bah-dah-boom!
Yup–ya beat me to it, Jim…
🙂
Haha, Debbie!
Hadn’t even thought of that. Maybe back then, women weren’t important enough to testify. 🙂
Have a good day…
Challybeate is the name of a town near me. It’s pronounced with a hard K sound –Kleebet. One of the many odd names around here.
Hi Patricia!
That’s a tongue twister!
Living in the PNW, we have lots and lots of towns with American Indian names: Washtucna, Washougal, Yakima, Mattawa, Chewela, Hoquiam, just to name a few.
Have a great day, my friend.
Seems the southern US is in some form of competition way down yonder on the Chattahoochee…Lotsa “EE” endings… and some just plain indecipherable… like an alphabet book exploded all over a map…
▪️Ocmulgee (Awk-mulgee)
▪️Tallapoosa (Tahlah-poosa – not TALL-apoosa))
▪️Arbacoochee
▪️Wedowee (Wah-dow-ee not WE-do-wee)
▪️Wetumpka (Wee-tumpka)
▪️Waugh (Waw – not Waff [like laugh])
▪️Letohatchee (Leto-hatchee)
▪️Waxahachie
▪️Kissimmee (K’-simmee – not Kissa-me)
Hey, George…ya got me beat!
That’s a dandy list.
My fave? Waxahachie…
My eldest (don’t tell her I said that) daughter lives in Mississippi…lots of variety there.
Have a Kissimmee day!

Advice for the word weary, if you read it check it, if you like it check it twice.
Sounds good, Marshall… 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, & I hope you have good weekend!
