We seem to have skipped over Helen's last word, which was MUSCLES (changed from MUSSELS) and gone straight to Caroline's equally legitimate TUSSLES. That's okay, but then we got two non-words, which led to SUNSET / UNRESTS and now I'm not sure how to proceed.
Should we revert to MUSCLES or just go with UNRESTS?
Cheers, Terry
Oops, sorry, Helen. It seems as if Caroline changed mussels to tussels, and she should have gone on from muscles, not from mussles. You are quite right, Terry. (Sharp as usual!)
I got so distracted with Mark's SLUTIES, that I didn't even notice.
(Yes you win that one, Mark. Happy now?)
I vote we go on from MUSCLES, I don't mind at all about the unrests, I hope Brian doesn't mind about sunsets. Sorry!

Right, you're not getting away with it again, Mark! [smiley=nono.gif] I saw what you did! (You changed 2 letters, you cheater...)
However, I give up with MUSCLES, I can't seem to find a legit word to replace it.. :-/ :-[
(...except for Muscled..)

Sorry Mark - I shouldn't play this for a while until I've caught up on lost sleep.

Of course, SUCKLES easily becomes SUCKLED, and now I'll go away. :-/

You're catching on, Helen!
Sorry, I can't stay away...
Anyway, Bobo was slick all right, but Mark was even slicker...
SLICKER
PS. id I mention that the rules allow for recognizable slang? Not made-up words, obviously, but as long as the word has become part of modern English usage, and nobody objects..
No, Mark, that still does not mean that 'slutie' is a word... > :-* you must be able to find it in some dictionaries at least, such as :
slicked
1. To make smooth, glossy, or oily.
2. Informal To make neat, trim, or tidy: slicked themselves up for the camera.

He slicked back his hair. So there!

Sluties has a short u? I have always pronounced it "sloo'tees". Well, what do you know?
Slutties wouldn't have 7 letters, but 8, so you see, it ain't acceptable. :-*
Classy Helen's TACKLER becomes a fullback.
Her STALKER was revealed to be that sleazy Mr Mumbles that sometimes hangs out with Bobo the monkey. My, what company you keep, Mark!
...and then, under close police scrutiny, the stalker became a bunch of TALKERS

Having quickly reverted to SLACKER, it becomes:
SLICKER
Optionally, TALKERS can become:
WALKERS

Status : Offline | Hmm, since we've already had slacker and blacker, let's try CLACKER [[ch712]klæk[ch601]]
n
1. an object that makes a clacking sound
2. Northern English dialect the mouth
Clackers is a term that refers to a vintage toy which was briefly popular in the early 1970s. Its name refers to the fact that its point was to have the two balls of which the toy consisted of clicking against each other. It was similar in appearance to the Argentine weapon known as bolas.
CLACKER
EDIT:
Yes, Terry, I also think since SLACKER and SLICKER were both already used recently, (just a bit higher up on this page) we should continue with WALKERS rather.
Otherwise we may end up going in circles.
