Hangman Words
Next time any of you are stuck in an airport on a Sunday night during a 4-hour flight delay, try this:
H-U-R-C-K-L-E
M-E-R-M-U-R-C-K-L-E
I'm telling you, it's a winning hangman phrase. LB didn't stand a chance. I won that round!

YOU CAN'T MAKE UP WORDS FOR HANGMAN.
I'm still bitter.
I have to side with LB on this one. You totally cheated.
That said, there is no question that "hurckle mermurckle" is indeed a winning phrase for hangman, so I don't question the truth of your assertion. You are, however, a cheaterpants.
Two interesting subpoints:
1. You chose the prefix "mer", which would suggest something having to do with the sea. Thus, I believe your term "mermurckle" would be translated - loosely - as "a murckle of the sea". Which totally makes sense.
2. If you Google "hurckle mermurckle", which I did, you will get this page. I don't know why, but that's funny to me. 48 bazillion web pages in the world, and this is the only one with "hurckle mermurckle" on it. So far.
Lastly: I am fully anticipating that someone will point out that "Hurckle Mermurckle" would be a great name for a band. Actually, it is not a great name for a band.
And where is Felicity these days?
Yeah, what he said.
You guys are a bunch of crybabies.
I think it is perfectly appropriate to have a sea murckle named hurckle as a hangman entry. You just can't stand the fact that *I* knew about the sea murckle named hurckle and you two didn't. Isn't that the point of hangman? To WIN?
I mean, I didn't get any sympathy votes for needing shoes and clothes and feet and fingers and eyeballs and ears to avoid hanging the dude when I was trying to guess...whatever it was that I was trying to guess. I got NO sympathy. I just had to sit there and struggle and watch my one-armed guy sway in the breeze as I guessed X's and O's and P's and Q's as the noose tightened.
So I came back with HURCKLE MERMURCKLE, clearly my favorite merckle of the sea named Hurckle.
Deal with it.
