Fine by me, "wat" is in. Thanks for the help on that one.seaborgium wrote: ↑Mon Aug 10, 2020 9:55 pmI would render Bart's neg on WORD ORIGINS $400 as "wat," if only because that's what I said. For what it's worth, the Lao cognate starts with a letter that's sometimes transliterated as V.MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Mon Aug 10, 2020 8:03 pm I added 7/22/94: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=6797
Also, I'm excited to see J! Archive get its first lock-tie tournament! I think Bart handled it in an appropriate fashion.

Good FJ! clue although perhaps not the fairest thing for a QF round when compared to what was served up for QF1.
Another chat story sounding unusual in 2020 was Diane having the opportunity to look over a term paper by Bill Cosby when he was a student at Temple U. Diane made some suggestions that she thought would make it an A paper. Bill's response was, "Just type it the way it is! Type it the way it is!"
Diane said it was shortly after that he left Temple and became, Bill Cosby. Alex followed with, "The big comedy star." Diane then said that if he had listened to her he might now be teaching high school. Alex got the last word with, "I'm sure Bill has many regrets about that..." and ending with a remark about Bill Cosby being generous to Temple University.
