Wordfeud

I’m about to complete my first game of Wordfeud with my friend Emilie. It’s one of those phone Scrabble games that are very popular at the moment. I don’t remember Scrabble ever being as addictive as this.

Anyway, Emilie is winning, which is bad because English isn’t her first language.

What’s even worse is she keeps coming out with words I’ve never heard of. Like ‘ronne’, ‘mas’ and ‘balu’. Actually, I just looked up ‘ronne’ and ‘balu’ and Dictionary.com doesn’t recognise them as words, so THANKS FOR TAKING SIDES, WORDFEUD.

One of the words Emilie played was ‘gu’. I know that there’s a brand of desserts named ‘Gü’, but that’s just a fancy play on the word ‘goo’, right?

Dictionary.com told me that ‘gu’ was an abbreviation for ‘genitourinary’, which means ‘of or pertaining to the genital and urinary organs’.

Think about that the next time you’re enjoying your posh cheesecake.
