: Uh, no. It's "jackalope": Google is your friend. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.130.153|172.70.130.153]] 09:51, 5 April 2022 (UTC) | : Uh, no. It's "jackalope": Google is your friend. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.130.153|172.70.130.153]] 09:51, 5 April 2022 (UTC) | ||
::Yes, I saw the wiki article. Either the person who coined the word was an idiot who thought it was spelled “antalope” or didn’t know how to make a portmanteau. Either way, it is NOT a portmanteau of jackrabbit and antelope, because that would be jackralope or jackelope. At best, you can call it a portmanteau of jackrabbit and a _misspelling_ of antelope.[[Special:Contributions/172.70.126.87|172.70.126.87]] 17:44, 5 April 2022 (UTC) | ::Yes, I saw the wiki article.

My immediate reaction to this was to see where ///bassoon.jackalope.slurp (What3words) took me. Nowhere - but suggested ///passion.jackpot.slurps is near Chausserais, 100 km ESE of Nantes in central France.[[User:Jmbryant|Jmbryant]] ([[User talk:Jmbryant|talk]]) 10:22, 5 April 2022 (UTC) | My immediate reaction to this was to see where ///bassoon.jackalope.slurp (What3words) took me.

:That's nearer {{w|Dahu}}-country, though! [[Special:Contributions/172.70.86.64|172.70.86.64]] 10:38, 5 April 2022 (UTC) (P.S. Not that this is even a valid example why, but I rather think What3words is a bad development that will do more harm than good in serious navigation/geolocating purposes. Just sayin' in passing.) | :That's nearer {{w|Dahu}}-country, though! [[Special:Contributions/172.70.86.64|172.70.86.64]] 10:38, 5 April 2022 (UTC) (P.S.

Cueball's objection to "slurp" is not explained; what's wrong with "slurp"? I think it's great word! (I wonder if trades are allowed...)

I wonder if those who graduated with honors are entrusted with more difficult words, like irregular verbs or ones with tricky homophones.
