[QUOTE="RC, post: 233880"] Ok, so i like my words and i'm a nerd when it comes to philology, so if scrabble is your idea of a fun board game, then don't play against me...i don't have fun when i play that game. Anyway, this helps bring up my point. I just lost a game of scrabble becuase of the word 'Vulgo'. Now i've looked in my 2,152 page New Oxford English Dictionary and it shows nothing. I went to Dictionary.com and it's never heard of the word. I visited thefreedictionary.com and no luck. Webster's online dictionary have no english definitions but know what the word is in Latin, Portugese and Spanish! I ventured to Cambridge's online dictionary (in both UK and US English) and no, nothing pertaining to the word VULGO showed up. I asked jeeves (which is just ask.com now!) and they could only give me links to sites that have swedish and spanish definitions, French-vietnamese definition and a make of a tv. I google the word and German sites come up or the urban dictionary comes up. Now, I'm sorry, but are words from the "urban dictionary" allowed in scrabble these days? Because, if that's the case then i could have easily thrown in 'roflcopter' for a 52 point word or '****a' for 23 points! This is bullshit. I'm ****** off that i lost this game all because Facebook Scrabble says it exists. So I'm turning to my fellow TRFers to help me out: Can you find me any links to any sites that'll prove this word exists? More than anything I want to prove that this word is real because: - 1) I'm intrigued to find out what it means 2) I'll be happy using it in Scrabble in the future 3) I can finally put my mind to rest and accept that i was beaten - not duped out of a game. I'll be so much happier finding out that i lost fair and square, rather than losing because of some fatuous bint who wanted to spell "vulgar" but didn't have the 'a' and the 'r' so took her chance with an 'o'! She didn't answer me either! I asked, "What's 'Vulgo' supposed to mean?" to which she replied with, 'Hehe.' I'm not such a happy bunny today! [/QUOTE]
