Favorite Word Verification Word

[Spiral_Staircase]

What a great presale this morning! Ticketmaster's word verification page did wonders for my vocabulary as I spent 2 hours checking for tickets.

So the question is, what was your favorite word verification word from the presale?

Mine:

samovar - n. A metal urn with a spigot, used to boil water for tea and traditionally having a chimney heated by coals

gittith = \Git"tith\, n. [Heb.] A musical instrument, of unknown character, supposed by some to have been used by the people of Gath, and thence obtained by David. It is mentioned in the title of Psalms viii., lxxxi., and lxxxiv. --Dr. W. Smith.

I thought it was like, "Thou wilt gittith a ticket"

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I got something starting with "out", like "ouloud" or "outfox". Heh.

It should have been outlast, outwit, or whatever the Survivor motto is.

Oooooo I just got a good one:

hymar = \Hy*mar"\, n. (Zo["o]l.) The wild ass of Persia.

 

[DaveC]

I had one that I thought said "screwed". I laughed my ass off.

Turns out that it was black lettering on a splotchy dark gray background and actually said "sinewed", but it makes it no less ironic.

 

[sconti]

My bestfriend got "mandoor" ... we laughed a lot even though we have no idea what it means.

 

[kellyahern]

Sulkily and whortle are the only two I remember.

I thought it was appropriate
