Playing apterous in real life

Re: Playing apterous in real life
Making words from GCSE grades. (As brought up by my cousin last night explaining his mate got FUDGE.) Cue him asking me the best words (he knows I've recorded) , I said DUDE and CABBAGE. Wouldn't that be an awesome thing to say at an interview, "Look, I know I didn't get the grades, but my results spell GAGGED, come on!"
Also making words from people in your school's name. Liam Brady = ADMIRABLY, Pat O'Neill = POLLINATE.

Re: Playing apterous in real life
At work recently someone (probably me) wondered aloud what was the longest word that's also a valid hexadecimal number (i.e. uses only the letters A-F).
I thought it was DEFACED, then a coworker came up with Fabaceae.
I thought that might be a word worth remembering, but it turns out that it's invalid - presumably due to capitalisation.

The NICE DAY pads and the IMPEGA pads you get always make me smile.

Re: Playing apterous in real life
Similarly, words that consist entirely of the letters A through G (so that they can be spelled with musical notes). The best I've ever come up with is CABBAGE. Or if you use the German system and add H…then you can have the old Unlimited favourite DEADHEADED, but that would be a pretty boring tune.Graeme Cole wrote:At work recently someone (probably me) wondered aloud what was the longest word that's also a valid hexadecimal number (i.e. uses only the letters A-F).

Maybe so, but it makes me want to write one about a deadheaded cabbage that carries too much baggage.Miriam Nussbaum wrote:that would be a pretty boring tune.

One time I tried to start a conversation but everyone ignored me because they were busy climbing a mountain. That was a lot like playing apterous in real life.

On film trailers they usually say THIS YEAR which is HYSTERIA.
Re: Playing apterous in real life
On some film trailers, the person responsible for typing THIS YEAR into Microsoft movie maker accidentally typed THILS YEAR, and im just like "HAIRSTYLE Mate, innit. BRAP!".

Re: Playing apterous in real life
School inspired:
Irish: Doirteal - IDOLATER/TAILORED.
Leithrean - HERNIATE is the best I can manage.
Science: I came across CELL SAP in my book, minutes later my teacher mentioned SCALPEL.
Irish: For some reason my teacher was talking about INTERRAILing, and I was like, no, TRILINEAR.

I came up with the idea when at a train station, only just got round to doing it. Original image is here. Now all I have to do is wait for the copyright lawsuits to roll in
