Welcome to the Guess My Word blog. This is a place to discuss the words of the day chosen by Joon and Mike. This paragraph is here mostly as spoiler space. Here are today's words:
nobody's forcing you to play, but it might help to keep an open mind about dictionaries. "mud pie" is typically two words. if it's not in my word list, that means that at least 3 out of 5 major collegiate dictionaries didn't include it as a single-word entry. mirriam-webster 11C, for instance, does not have it (in fact, they do not even have an entry for "mud pie" as two words).
Easy, big fella. I usually give up when I pass 20 tries, and 'mudpie' was my final stab. The 'toys' bit was a wry joke that fit with the concept of a mud pie (or so I thought.)
What? this dictionary did not accept MUDPIE.
ReplyDeleteSo I picked up my toys and went home.
