"frisible" is SO TOTALLY a real word!!

Well, shit. Google says no, although it does turn up as a name.

I was probably thinking of "fusible".
(But the American Heritage Dictionary, version from 1987, did list friser as a French root word meaning curly, and thus frisible, a perfectly possible French-derived English word, would mean "curlable".)

Notwithstanding, Z accepted it as a word in our House Rules game of Scrabble (which also featured such gems as "dang", "Eliza", "shiv" (which is in the dictionary), and "linux"), and as such, I got 50 bonus points for using up all my letters, and eventually was able to win the game.

Man, do I know how to party or what?
I am also nearly invincible at Pictionary, and am awful good at Trivial Pursuit despite knowing nothing about trivia or, in fact, pursuit. How can you all live without me in your social calendars???!!!

as is risible--maybe that's what you thought of?

I try to make my writing risible...

Risible was indeed the word I first tried to make, and then I noticed that all I had left was an F, and I was sure I'd heard "frisible" somewhere before. I looked it up in the dictionary we had on the table, and there were related words there, although not quite that construction. So I went for it, and the important thing is that Z accepted it as legitimate. I told him he didn't have to.

Otherwise it would've been a close game the whole way through, with me never quite able to catch him up. The scores throughout were always slightly in his favor, by less than ten points for the most part. It was maddening.


But yes, risible is indeed a word.
As is shiv-- it is in the dictionary.
