(gnu is not unix)

GNU yacc

43 yap/yak?

43 yap ✔️

10:02 AM

41 looks like a really long word...

How do see all stars for a room?

zoom out

That is genius

Why is 43 collecting stars?

@Wen1now Get a normal sized screen

10:04 AM

oh I thought I starred it so i tried to unstar it

And make the UI zoom 100% not 150%

Okay, okay. That's enough abuse

If you're on mobile, there's a link in the menu

Can somebody send me that link?

I dont know any more words that start with ya

10:05 AM

@Wen1now >_>

36 is still uncontacted

On mobile it's actually easier - if you go the menu and hit "Starred" it pops open a new tab with the starred items

i use this chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/info/53490/contact?tab=stars

Found it

yacht

lol

gg

nice

lol

10:10 AM

@Sid you're up

(Here I was thinking, "Isn't there a thing called Yahtzee?")

There is

Eh. Does anyone want to defend?

I would've (hopefully) gotten any reference to that

My eyes are wanting to shut themselves but I am keeping them open, with middling success so far.

10:11 AM

technically a yacht is a ship, not a boat

36 died, YARD

OH

wait why

Oh, and my long clue was YAK.

(O)KAY<-

isn't " foot

okay

10:12 AM

41 was Yahweh

OH

I KNEW I'D HEARD THAT WORD SOMEWHERE

@JohnDvorak Never heard of that...

YHWH

@Sid Jehovah

IIRC

Oh, wait. Maybe I have, somewhere which I don't remember right now

10:14 AM

Tetragrammaton means "four-letter word", because Hebrews didn't write vowels.

@ASCII-only correct

o_O they didn't?

@as4s4hetic Nope

@as4s4hetic Why else was it YHWH :P

@ASCII-only What? I have always seen " as foot.

I thought they removed the vowels so you couldn't say it

thou shall not use the Lord's name in vain

or my religion teacher lied to me

"in vain"?

10:16 AM

@Sid .-. what idk even google says it's inch

Teachers unknowingly lie a lot

^ THat

" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

@as4s4hetic Well you can still say it

Okay, okay. Let's begin a knew game

10:17 AM

what's a knew game

like a new game, but you already knew that

^I like that better

TIL

I can't find any sources that says hebrew doesn't write vowels

that was bad grammar

Best source is Mithrandir. Ask him.

10:18 AM

@as4s4hetic google.com/search?q=hebrew+no+vowels&gws_rd=cr

It's even in the featured result

@ASCII-only never mind. mi ne havas cerbon

no vowels wow

That's interesting. Who wants to defend?

got to go, sorry

scrabble-checks really long word

:( not valid

If you Scrabble check you can't get any longer than 15 letters anyway

10:24 AM

Is there enough for a round of codenames?

Wait, are scrabble dictionaries limited to 15 letters?

why would they be any longer? you can't go off the board

That's the width of the board

yeah, but still...

that's why when we say "scrabble-legal" we mean "in the spirit of the scrabble rules", even if it is not in the actual dictionary

has antidisestablishmentarianism ever been defended?

10:27 AM

This should be a quick one lol

May 25 at 18:45, by Gareth McCaughan

Gareth defending: ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM

ASCII-only defending: F

Did you just change words?

1: 100 days

Apr 5 at 15:08, by user275302

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. That was my word.

10:29 AM

oh

it was antidisestablishmentarianism, I think

-.-.-.-.-.-

@as4s4hetic 10/10 nice guess why did you think it was periwinkle

@ffao (And clearly I must live in Brisbane too)

Clearly

10:30 AM

@ASCII-only periwinkle is my favourite word

wait, favourite english word

Your favourite Chinese phrase (?) must be uses Google Translate 长春花 then

Also: no clues ;_;

3 mins ago, by Wen1now

1: 100 days

oh right clues

10:32 AM

@Wen1now Already starred that one

I'm not in a state to come up with clues right now

@as4 @wen more clues pls

prepares for Sp to write a clue

2: /that/

(kinda rhythm gaming right now, so unless you want periods of waiting ~1.5 min for confirmation, I'm just kinda spectating)

I don't mind

Also: how many rhythm games do you have

10:36 AM

can i has star

I can't think of any words beginning with f

"Have" is a bit of a weird way of putting it - depending on different points in my life I've gotten into different rhythm games (and not all of which you can "own")

I don't think anyone here is going to get 2 except maybe sp ._.

If this is what /f/ is on 4chan, I have no idea :P

3: longest bone

10:38 AM

contact 3

@Sp3000 nah :P

@Sp3000 *impractical to own

3 FEMUR?

22: Adding in- retains the meaning

contact 22

Yeah 60, 61 is Freaky Friday (Kokoro Connect needs a second season, although it got a bit of backlash from some stuff that happened behind the scenes :/)

7. Add a 5-lettered word to get an audio effect one might apply to a song

I didn't know about the behind the scenes stuff, and from what I can see I don't think I want to know

let's just leave it at it being a really good anime

<- thinks it sounds like one of those join-the-tile games

VTC 22 too broad (unless it's a definition)

Is that a pass?

10:54 AM

I guess so

pauses time

prepares for serious headbanging

resumes time

pass 22

22: flammable

22 was FLAMMABLE

wait a second 2 died a long time ago

Oh :/

2 was fricative

10:55 AM

@as4s4hetic I had a suspicion it meant IPA/phonetics lol

(I don't actually know IPA, been meaning to learn one day though :P)

@ASCII-only your suspicion was correct

Oh yeah, 1 died as well

1 was FANATIC
