tuesday word of the day winner
 

Sorry  about the confusion I created on this thread yesterday!!


Noun1.haecceity - the essence that makes something the kind of thing it is and makes it different from any other

And here is the result ! You witty creatures made my job very difficult :!

Lindax associated it with my having hiccups and being  in need

of a tip for hiccups?

Next Adrienne who explained it was : so, haecceity is the state

 of being an eccentric person with uncontrollable laughter

Greek professor nearly calling the firemen bcause:

A!...hec..the city is on fire.

Ida bere taking us to the world of genetics and science fiction:

HAEC standing for: Human Artificial Episomal Chromosome

     Ceity: city misspelled

    so I guess haecceity means: a new city of artificial chromosomes!

Pelletrine explaining she had lost a needle in a haystack and

was bleeding to death and could not see a thing!! ( sorry pelletrine!)

And last but not least: Les who discovered the code behind it all

( clever one!)

The code is the ï¿½First Word Normal; Second Word In Descending Order; Third Word In Ascending       Order; Code� --- or �FWN-SWIDO-TWIAO-CODE�, for short.

�He� remains the same word.  �Ace� becomes �King�, (�Queen�, �Jack�, �Ten�, etc).  �City� becomes �World�, (�Earth�, �Universe�, �Space�, etc).  The code is childishly easy when you know it!

And so, our message becomes: �He (is) king (of the) world!�

Sorry Sylvie!I forgot yours ! 

She wrote it after I had messed the whole game up and as she wanted to play

she invented her own game!

The word was : MARIETHE.

Not fair, as it is French :o((( Mari = Husband / Th� = tea )

All that fuss to tell us her husband drinks tea! Baa!Thumbs Down

So the winner is : Les !!! because it took me a long time to understand

his definition and it is good to get my brain working at my age!LOL

Thank you LES and
