Word Up, YO!, Edition 10

14 comments

in General

This week led to a lot of *malarky*.

At the end of the day, Funky Mama Bird battled with a sentient MalarkOMeter and Sherri tried to get her younger self to stop selling herself a bunch of *malarky*.

Funky Mama Bird, Sherri, in the eyes of the Nerd Mafia, you are now Made Men.

Please contact one of the Dons to get the code for your button.

Associates of the Nerd Mafia, take heed: there is a new plot a foot.

This week, to celebrate our tenth week of Word Up, Yo! we’re trying something new.

There will be no WOW!

We’ll wait for you to stop shuddering in horror at the prospect of a week without a WOW!

This week, you’ll need to act like scavengers. Because the Nerd Mafia is hosting a Scavenger Hunt.

The Made Men will be using past WOWs in their posts this week. They can use as many of the words they like, in as many posts from Sunday – Wednesday as they choose. The challenge is for you to find as many of these words as possible. When you find one, note it in the comments of the post. If you find multiple words in one post, please list all that you find.

Whichever Associate (read: someone who has not yet been Made) finds the most words used this week will join the ranks of Made Men.

To help, a list of the Made Men‘s blogs. You may find WOWs at any of these blogs, on any day from Sunday – Wednesday. You must be vigilant to win.

Made Men:

Past WOWs!, in no particular order:
malark(e)y
plethora
hot mess
effervescent
rambunctious
snarky
fumble
foible
gullet

Go forth and prosper. And no shanking one another.

I can’t believe this! I was saving up all the words and was going to unleash them all in a post this week and take the mafia by storm. You dons were wise to me.
I will have to get on my thinking cap and come up with another idea.
