Hmm, this must be a compound word from slang, again with the slang, eh?

Let's see. It reminds me of "Sneezy", there's gotta' be a connection. The prefix of "st" is tough. Could it be from "steel"? or "start"? I think the latter.

Does it mean to start to sneeze but maybe unable to finish? Don't ya' hate that?

How about a "fig" from Germany? Nah, I didn't think so.

How 'bout a slang version of "vigorous"? Or a healthy pig?

L99SS · 07-23-2011, 04:23 PM

It's slang, and actually a shortened form of "vigorish".

Caveat, it's not related to the word "vigorous" or German figs.

Ivas · 07-23-2011, 07:57 PM

Does this mean not only that I'm outa' step with the degeneration of English, but also that it's my turn?

My non-slang word: "Belay".

L99SS · 07-23-2011, 08:43 PM

My word is a term used for the excessive interest / money paid to a gangster or bookie for placing a bet.

I am certainly not an English professor, but I will give your word a try.

Belay: To have happen to, or occur in a certain way

*The degeneration of English is happening much faster than we realize, Ivas -- and digital technology is certainly having its effect on hastening the demise. That's why I don't do Facebook, nor was I inculcated with MySpace.

Belay: Well, sort of, vaguely. It means to disregard a command in nautical parlance.

YOUR TURN. Please go easy on the recent slang, thanks.

New word to the wise: "Privateer"

Ivas · 07-25-2011, 07:07 PM

Okay, time's up; a privateer was a pirate given legal commission by the enemy nation of the victim of the pirate. Heck, I thought that was an easier one.

New word: "wharf".

Yep, you're correct there. Okay, your word has nothing to do with preparing a chicken for a casserole, does it?

That "pone" part reminds me of a chemical I've seen listed on containers of ant poison.

Am I close?
