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)
