who made you the boss of what is a word.
According to Eric P. Hamp in the journal "American Speech" the etymology of the word SUPERCALIFRAGELISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS is the concatenation of supercalifragilistic and expialidocious, you can go search a library and find the journal and look it up.

on the other hand my example works just as good with SUPERCALIFRAGELISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS

on the other hand it is easy to see that SUPERCALIFRAGELISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS is a compound because normally icex does not make the sound ic+ex

Anthony, When we start using journals to verify a word in Scrabble then I will accept your original combo. According to WEBSTER's Unabridged (a.k.a. really,really big) Dictionary of the English lanquage, Supercalifragelistic is not listed.
Supercalifragelistic expialidocious is.
I rest my case.

Supercalifragelistic expialidocious is.
I rest my case.

so basically you are disallowing many scientific words just because you don't know them and can't find them in the dic? Don't forget that any book is written in time and a the job of a dic is to give words that are or were common. For any word that is in there there countless words that are not. Also if Websters does have the entry the way you posted it "Supercalifragelistic expialidocious" then by definition those are two words and not one, and "Supercalifragelistic expialidocious" is an idiom (expression) like bull sh!t made up of two words.


on the other hand, if it is because you think there is some honour in this game
You could become famous just like me

then it is trivial to put two words together this way

like blissful hemeroid that I am sure no one has put together.

The real game Googlewhacking is to enter two words in the google search that bring up one and only one result

Yes, I am, disallowing words that aren't in an unabridged English dictionary. We have to have some rules Anthony otherwise we will have total word anarchy where I can say things like, "Anthony, you are being stipplenificated, which by the way means stubborn, but don't bother looking it up in a dictionary because you won't find it there, it's a word I heard an Alien use in Star Wars, but my friends and I use it all the time, it's widely accepted and readily understood where I live.

The dictionary, although limited to a mere 300,000 English words, is a fairly good collection of words any of which you are free to choose.

300,000 words.

like blissful hemeroid that I am sure no one has
put together.

Now your talking Anthony. Except for the spelling of "hemorrhoid" that was an excellent combination.

you are in the wrong place :-)

stipplenificated, which by the way means stubborn, but don't bother looking it up in a dictionary because you won't find it there, it's a word I heard an Alien use in Star Wars, but my friends and I use it all the time, it's widely accepted and readily understood where I live.

I am sure all of Chicago uses it. Even at that, like you said "I heard an Alien use in Star Wars" which means that it is not an English word even if accepted as a word. The problem is you are only accepting words that are found in your dictionary at home. Does it have e-mail? Internet? Pentium?

though internet

Anthony, I really hope I don't ever have to play a real game with you. You are nuts!

And above all, stipplenificated.
