Words & Wordplay - August 2006

I need a list of the most commonly used English words. But a LONG lost, as long as possible -- 10,000, 20,000, even more. Can anyone send links to sites that have word list files available for downloading? Word frequency files for different domains would be helpful, too -- e.g. science, literature, etc.

google "anagrams". There is a generator. It will give you a long list but pick out one or two that are cute or make some sense. Or do what I do and use Scrabble tiles. Hours of fun!!

People use, "loan," as a verb, meaning, "lend." In past tense, one hears, "loaned," instead of, "lent." Whether loaning or lending, the meaning is the same.

My dictionary is very thick. It's full of words. Thousands of words. But nothing that rhymes with Orange. Why is this?

In the English language we have words that sound the same but are spelled differantly and are defined differantly. Example "See" and "Sea". Who can come up with the most words in the English Language that sound the same, but are differant in spelling and defined differantely. Have Fun

To all those who like write the way they talk - I mean really, like really talk like that. What does it mean in the way you like Use it? Puh-leease don't come the old 'it's the way people talk' ... tell me what it actually means ... what purpose does it serve?

I mean, there's all this stuff about reducing what you say to mere grunts and combinations of letters and numbers (u kno wat I meen - an u kno I h8 it) and then you have to throw in redundant words? It used to be the F word every f*ing third bl*dy f*ing syllable ... now its like ... arggggh!!

So, come on ... put your gum in your cheek and spit it out ... (Oh G*d ... I didn't mean THAT) ... I mean like tell me what it MEANS!

A man worked for a high-security institution, and one day he went in to work only to find that he could not log in to his computer terminal. His password wouldn't work. Then he remembered that the passwords are reset every month for security purposes. So he went to his boss and they had this conversation:
Man-"Hey boss, my password is out of date."
Boss-"Yes, that's right. The password is different, but if you listen carefully you should be able to figure out the new one: It has the same amount of letters as your old password, but only four of the letters are the same."
Man: "Thanks boss."
With that, he went and correctly logged into his station.
What was the new password?
BONUS: What was his old password?
