So, I thought I might explain it, and then, you get to play it, with passages from your now completed novels :) So, wank word bingo originated from those catchy phrases you hear managment use, which mean nothing- 'going forward' ""Provide maximum availability of departmental user data" - Making sure people can get their stuff." :) I submit the word 'benevolent': "But, benevolently, rather than be consumed by Six Ten, it was allowed to become a member state. So, it was independent, just well behaved. It was common practice at state dinners to remind the Haven Star representative of history." DING The words 'plethora' and 'detritus' are like, excellent examples of WWB words. So, what submissions do you have from your books to add? ----------

I think I've used each once so far. The proof: Quote: Images raced through his head, images of the fallout from the previous scandal, the headlines and Davey, bound and being escorted from the national court, a whole procession of covered faces and turned cheeks, his own inauguration ceremony, and his hand held high as he swore his oath, of Vincent staring straight through him, of Morton quaking in his shoes as he stood before him as a peon before a stern deity, and the bird he stood before, that benevolent deity with the hooked beak and talons that could crush him with a single twitch, and those beady eyes that would just blink and stare, blink and stare, at him, past him, into him and all the while he’d just ruffle his feathers and he swore he could see the beak kink in a smile though it shouldn’t be doing that for he was a damn bird- Damn, that was one hell of a long sentence. Quote: Not that Orlestat could particularly tell the difference in the details, for the plethora of buttons, levers and consoles all lining the triangular viewfinders, arranged in geometrical shapes around a central walkway was still something that he could not decipher. and... Quote: But it wasn’t enough: with a singular focus, he wrenched them out, spraying green detritus into the air and lashing out at the rabbit’s torso. My turn! I submit the word conflagration: Quote: It seemed pretty safe to assume that if he stayed in the pod, he would certainly perish in a spectacular conflagration of fire and electrics. DING!

Quote: She continued staring at the fiery blaze in horror, memories tickling at her, the shattering of the glass prickling into her mind, the entire conflagration feeding into her mind, reminding it somehow that she’d just done something unspeakable. Alarm bells began to ring in response to the fire, and then the sprinklers activated, drenching the silver laboratory and all of the stunned people standing in the room. So there really are computer rooms with sprinkler systems, Sasha found herself thinking. Idiocy. Thus I submit the word 'desperately,' because I've just used it twice and I'm sick of typing it.
