  • Playing scrabble with my boys

    Playing scrabble with my boys, 8 and 11. On the board we have pee, fart, pukes, fatty, gosh, and dang. I had to take away buggar for spelling. I'm not sure if this means I'm succeeding or failing, as a parent.

    Wow, from the thread title, I thought this was going to be about something completely different.

      Winning!
      "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

          Buggar is a word. I'm sure they were going for booger but "buggar off" is a common Britishism.

          Edit: It's more commonly spelled "bugger" but "buggar" is legit.

            This is why it's imperative to have a copy of the official Scrabble dictionary nearby at all times.

              Maybe AV just didn't want to explain the etymology of it.
