Ok I accept that, in the main, this is a fun feature of Yahoo, however some of the questions posed and the corresponding answers are so poorly worded, it appears that a majority of the participants have the literary abilities of a chimp!

You are diving in the middle of no where in the rain. Its cold, wet and dark when you stumble upon 3 people that are stuck. The first person is your best friend whom you owe a favor to. The second person is a woman who is hurt badly. If you don't take her to the hospital now, she will die. The thrid person is the love of your life. if you leave, you may never see him/her again. They are all stuck in the middle of no where. You only have enough space to fit one peron in your car and if you leave, you can't come back? What do you do?

i am trying to think of a phrase we would use in the restaurant business to describe doing more than 2 things at once. Basically this phrase is restaurant jargon, like anticipating guests needs, but this phrase describes multitasking.

for example.. when someone tells you a price of something is a thousand dollars, you retort back with disbelief, accentuating each word, "A thousand dollars???"

I am serious. it can take as many twists and turns as you wish. it can be a myster/love/sci-fi/horror/historical memoir if we make it that way.
Or whatever comes ocross our collective minds.
I would like to stress the fact that this should be at least semi serious and that you should read ALL OF THE PRIOR POSTS!
That way you will be able to contribute. secondary to this I would ask that you not modify your post, except for grammar and spelling.
One final plea:
Please do not do it all by yourself. 6 paragraphs max.

I will start:

Lighting cracked the mirror of night.
It was a shadowless world filled with terrible wonders.
"Could anything good have happened?
On a night like this?
After a day like today?", Jordan said to himself as he examined his torn shirt.
Soon he would have his answer.

When you are irate, and can't just call somebody 'stupid' for instance, you might stick the word 'stupid' in the sentence as an adjective for something else? Like telling Yahoo to "Have a Stupid Day."

I am curious to know how far we can go with this. I will start with one word. The next person continues the sentence with one word and if it continues for long enough, could we write a short story.
Just associate your word with the previous one. I will try to piece a draft together if enough people join in.


Can you please put the number next to the word.
Example: Third box said "to" so you put the number as a continuation.
Many thanks.

The word is.........what.

Okay, so I was doing some surfing on a completely different subject and ran across this page on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuk.

What really caught my eye was the final paragraph:
"An interesting, though perhaps unrelated fact is that on the Portuguese islands of the Azores, "kuk" is a verb meaning "to unintentionally spray ketchup". It is popularily used to point out and ridicule people who spill the red sauce. A phrase commonly uttered at dinner tables on the islands is – "O haha, ele kuk.""

Now my first thought was... they have such severe ketchup-spillage issues over there that they had to create a word just to describe it? That's hilarious!

My question to you is: what weird words do we have like that in English - a word that is completely pointless and used for unusual circumstances, but one that we just HAD to have?
