"That is so not a word."
"Yes it is!"
"No, it's not!"
"It so is!"
"Delf?"
"Yeah!"
"A proper noun, maybe- but not a word."
"Proper noun? No."
"Yeah- it may be some dude's last name- but that's about it."
"No, it's a word, I'm telling you!"
"Prove it."
"Oh, you're gonna make me look it up? I know it's a word!"
"No, come on- put your moneny where your mouth is."
"You're the one challenging it!"
"Ok, then, we can just take these tiles right off the board and-"
"You touch those, you die!"
"Then prove it, already!"
"You are such a douche!"

Too funny! :)
ReplyDeleteMy sister is the one you have to watch when playing Scrabble. She has a pretty good vocabulary so you're never sure if she's bluffing or playing a strange word you've never heard of. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat little exchange. Could picture it in front of me! ;)
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, I'm pretty much the same when I play scrabble, but to be fair I do tend to make up words :D

I always ended up challenging someone and then finding out they were right! It's so annoying.
ReplyDeleteInteresting blog, Beverly. I'll bet many of us have had similar conversations.
