Scrabulary Word of the Day #883 08/01/23 "POKECHOP"

POKECHOP = POKE + PORKCHOP

Swuvie shared this Scrabulary word in the form of a story.  This story stars her cat Porkchop.

She shares:
"I went to get Porkchop inside for the night and she let me pick her up but dug her claws in my arm a little bit wanting to get down, as usual. I went to clean up the injured area when Dubby said he wanted to talk to me. I wanted to explain to him that I needed to clean up the poke. I was gonna say 'Porkchop poked me and I need to clean up.' However, I just ended up starting with 'Pokechop'.  And I'm like...yeah, that sums it up."😆

No cat scratch fever here. 😽

Scrabulary Word of the Day #878 07/04/23 "REMEMBERIZED"

 REMEMBERIZED = REMEMBER + MEMORIZED

I have been playing a particular video game for a couple of months.  I play using my laptop keyboard and touchpad.  I decided to add a mouse for an enhanced gaming experience. This required reassignment of certain actions/commands as well as memorization of those reassigned. I went down the list of commands starting with the "emote" button and said:

"The emote button is "E".  I rememberized that." 

Adding the mouse for forward movement of my character, looking around, striking/attacking and quicker movement in the hot bar has made my playing more effective.  Definitely a good decision.

My video game character was following my grandson's character as we explored a cave.  We came across a desirable ore to be mined but it was difficult to reach.  My grandson created a tall pedestal beneath his character and was able to mine the ore successfully.

"You can reach that ore! Nex!"

So much more to explore!

BROCK = BRICK + BLOCK

Continuing in the spirit of the video game marathon with my grandson, another Scrabulary word made its appearance.  While exploring a cave in the game, we got into a tight spot.  Trying to figure a way across a deep ravine, I said:

"You can make a walkway starting here.  The water is only one brock deep."

Successfully across, we continued our exploration.

Great fun!

"Good thing you are nimberle".
