TONERS + H

Every once in a while I use a mental picture or association to help me remember sets of bingos. For example, when I was working on the ARSINE set and got to M, I came up with the morbid but memorable idea of MARINES attending a SEMINAR about human REMAINS.

Anyway, the latest bingo stem for me is TONERS, and when I get to H: HORNETS SHORTEN THRONES, I just picture the height challenged king from Shrek (Lord Farquaad, actually he technically isn't a king, but I digress) jumping around like and angry bee, and voile, I have my three words.

While I'm on the topic of TONERS, does anyone know why the mnemonic is 'HARD PECKS OF BIG TOUGHMAN'? Not getting it.

On the road...

First of all, good luck to anyone playing in nationals! Here's a word I learned today playing scrabble on my phone:

JAWBONER

I know, hard to say out loud without snorting, but means one who jawbones. I forget what jawbone means exactly as a verb, so if you want to, leave the definition in a comment. Maybe you'll even get to play it if you're in Daytona this weekend. Stranger things have happened.

MOBLED

In honor of my first mobile blog entry, I thought I'd find a word similar to MOBILE...

Definition: wrapped in or as if in a hood (adj)
