Last night at our weekly Scrabble matchup, I suffered one inglorious defeat to Peter by about 100% (149 to 303, or something), but then rallied to win the seond game by a few points -- by playing, wait for it..."poo." Now, this wasn't my finest Scrabble vocabulary moment, of course; let the record reflect that I've played "serif," "argyle," stinted," "guilder" and my trademark "bezels" in the last few months too. But even worse -- we never looked it up, but apparently "poo" is NOT in the Scrabble Dictionary! Quadruple embarassment! I'll blame Peter for playing "pee" in the first game (which *is* acceptable) and setting the scatological tone. Sigh...sometimes those pesky three-letter words come in handy, so study up!
