Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for June 15, 2023

English major. Joan has a unfair advantage.

See today’s “Rabbits Against Magic”.

n.1.A jade; an old horse or mare.

Now you’ve got us all looking it up!

He obviously hasn’t seen “Dead Poet’s Society.” The only scene I remember is all the boys getting up on their desks and shouting “yawp!”

I see Val is thoroughly engaged in the game.

Didn’t stick to his guns. He was just yawping when he said he wouldn’t play against her.

My mom

Some friends and I used to play Boggle a lot, and one time we used an unabridged dictionary, but it ruined all the fun because practically anything that looked pronounceable was a legal word.

It is a word ……..

yawpintr.v. yawped, yawp·ing, yawps ……v. …..

1. To utter a sharp cry; yelp.2. To talk loudly, raucously, or coarsely.

n. ……..

1. A bark; a yelp.

2. Loud or coarse talk or utterance: ………

“I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world” (Walt Whitman). …….. …….

[Middle English yolpen, possibly variant of yelpen; see yelp.]

Phil is painfully learning.

But is it in the dictionary you 4 elected to use for challenges, in this game?…
