I actually knew one. For sure. Without guessing.
Boy do I feel smart. 
I also knew that common sense was se chel not seckel. (The phlegm in the pronunciation makes a big difference.)
Too bad it took exactly zero sechel to have known seckel.

How does anyone know these words?
Congrats, Sara.
Yes - I was going for the Jewish vote, and I actually got 2 points! Too bad everyone is away and more folks didn't play - I might have actually scored big on this one. Doubt that will happen again any time soon. |
