I shall keep an eye out for her.

Ok chaps. There are 3 words (that I can think of) which have a double -uu- in the word. VACUUM is the obvious one, can you think of the other 2?

CONTINUUM and hmm

I can think of one to do with 'Time & Space'...

Continuum

I'm sure there's more than three, but any others are currently eluding me...

and i have a bigger penis than you

would MUU-MUU count? the hawaiian frock thing.

Yes continuum is correct. But I'm going to give the prize for whoever gets the one that is left

EDIT: No it bloody wouldn't count UP. Nor would your Hungarian word for burnt goulash or your Inuit word for yellow snow.

ah RESIDUUM then?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 10:06 am

Yes, well done UP. Should really have left it a little longer before giving the clue, but there you are.

Over to you UP.

righto.
sticking with English:
there are a few English words which both begin and end with the letter I.
ignorami, impeti, isthmi, illuminati etc.
which is the shortest such word?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 10:14 am

Idi is latin I think, but it might be an English word so you never know.

Matt Vinyl · Post by **Matt Vinyl** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 10:22 am

Ini?

What's the betting it's ii (captain!)

LOL...

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 10:30 am

if it's not that, then I'm going for impi.

(just realised I haven't been told my first guess was wrong

ops: )

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 10:31 am

sorry chaps: idi, ini and ii aren't words the answer is a common word though. impi is a word but not a winner.

Matt Vinyl · Post by **Matt Vinyl** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 10:42 am

I'm going to be cheeky here and go for 'I', being a 'word' I guess?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 10:45 am

correct. it is also the most commonly said word but journalists are trained to avoid writing it. anyway I wins over to Matt
