Word of the day besides "murmur".
Hijinx???

Nix that, my fingers were too fast, I think.

Is some form of "hijinx" a word? I can't find it in the dictionary.

O.K! Here's one. What six letter word is comrpised of just two letters which are next to each other in the alphabet (obviously the letters are used more than once.)

Rocky, that's it! You win! Hijinks, actually.
I think I heard Pixie and Dixie say it more than once...

Dandy, I know a guy who's not only prognathous but exophthalmic to boot!

Could it be hijinks? Is it slang??

Wow!!!! You beat me to the punch!!! Is it sunshine, or Butch. Way to go!!!

I didn't realize that you posted the above when I wrote that, that was a strange immediate feeling.

"...Is it unshine, or Butch..."

Sundance, actually, but I like "unshine" - reminds me of two Bradbury tales...

Hey there Pard!! "Bookkeeper" it is. Sure enough on a RB site "keeper of the books""

Right you are rocket. *See my " " from the earlier post. (Get it?)

biplane, do proper nouns count? King "Tut-tut"

I always find Mercutio's intention of going home to his "truckle bed" a bit humorous. Phew...these inquiries at times leave me flummoxed.

When they were all very young wannabees, were they the "Pixie Dixie Chicks"?

Biplane, is your mystery word "deeded" ?

Ah, yes, Pixie and Dixie...The early Hanna-Barbera cartoons were good. I liked the old stock background music - and where would we be without Daws Butler?

Wonderful! And the stock background! Remember how, as characters are walking, they constantly walk past the same scenes over and over? The Flintstones were particularly bad about it.
