    Well yeah. When we play Scrabble, the house rule is ‘English Wiktionary’

      We used to play “if you can convince me it’s a word, it counts”. I got a triple word score on zaxticuous and that shit got shut down. It means: Having the property or appearance of Zach Morris from Saved by the Bell.

        The best Scrabble move I ever saw:

        My brother: “Can you put down swear words?”

        My mother: “No.”

        My brother: (Puts down SHIT) “Not a swear, just what I have to do.” (Leaves to go to the bathroom.)

      Ours was the unabridged OED when I was a kid.

      And my father with his English PhD didn’t even play.
