The Word Game From People Who Don't Know Anything About Words is a funny niche but the Bee really does own it

My wife and I have an ongoing message chat where we post incredulous screenshots

lol! I was so mad Crip wasn’t a word…like what are the rules?!

The number of words that they won't take and then they count "doggo"

Right?! lol 😂

Every few months I rage-quit playing this game for exactly those reasons.

Piratical was also denied. And clipart but I’ll give them that one.

That’s pretty sad.

Today they won’t accept “neem” which is a type of tree. But “gonna” is acceptable.

I’ve told them several times that “pinken” is a word — to turn pink! — but they persist.

Of course they admit to not accepting industry jargon, terms of art etc, which given their clientele is... incredibly stupid

But will they take CRAPITAL

If ‘cilia’ is allowed then ‘ciliate’ MUST be allowed too and yes I will die on this hill

They also wouldn’t take piratical to my great displeasure

The inconsistency with foreign words frustrates the hell out of me

IKR, so W.S. Gilbert was a fraud?

Felt a surprisingly intense burst of anger to learn this.

I suppose “rumbustification” wouldn’t fly either…
