Ohhh
Sorry =S
I thought I was doing something wrong.

(We are now scraping the bottom of the barrel for words that start with 'x'. :))

[yabbadabbadont]

sardonyx

(Perhaps, but I've still got plenty that end in 'x'. ;))

[RedSquirrel]

xenophobia

(I know, so we're headed for trouble... :grin:)

[yabbadabbadont]

(I've still got another word that both starts and ends with 'x' held in reserve, in case I need it. ;))

[RedSquirrel]

(It's a good thing that I've read Chaucer...)

[RedSquirrel]

xerographic

(~$ man yex
No manual entry for yex

For some reason, yex sounds to me like it should be a UNIX program. :grin:

By the way, I'm running out of words.)

[yabbadabbadont]

(Just because I don't want the game to end... ;))

[RedSquirrel]

[RedSquirrel]

redolent

(This probably sounds silly, but I'm still sort of amused by your 5000+ beans. That's a significant jump. :lol:)

[yabbadabbadont]

trifling

(More than half are in the support forums though, so I'm doing ok. ;))

Edit: I have over 3400 on the Gentoo forums. I'm in the top fifty posters there. (In the support forums. They don't count the Off the Wall forum posts and such.)

Edit2: The extra beans will probably disappear when they finally get around to changing the settings on this forum.

[RedSquirrel]

grievous

(Quite right. I meant no offense. Sorry if it came across that way. :( :oops:)

[yabbadabbadont]

silly

(No offense at all. I was trying to be silly, and apparently failed. It takes quite a bit to offend me as I frequent Gentoo's Off The Wall forum on a regular basis. :lol:)

[RedSquirrel]

yarn

(OK. I just wanted to be sure. I kind of figured a veteran of the Gentoo forums would have a reasonably thick skin. ;))
