david.atwell Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Rhythm - revel in its vowellessness! Vowellessness - I just made it up. Ghoti - maybe not officially English, but if you pronounce "gh" as in "tough," "o" as in "women," and "ti" as in "action," it sounds more recognizable. :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please try not to repost words, if yours has already been said either think of a different one or just don't bother posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
