(2814) What's this?this is a real puzzler...I am
usually pretty good at word games
...but this has got me beat.... I
have gone through every combination
I could think of..... then checked
my dictionaries, still gropping in
the dark.
I'll try a 'W'

(537) What's this?Sorry Georgia. No W. Speaking of
that, soon we won't have a "W" here
in the states. Less then 100 days
until the election!!!! Yay.
This word is a word from another
culture that came into popular
English use after the 70s. I do
believe.
I'm stumped on this one... So how about a B... No reason, but it has not been asked about yet...

am going to have to talk a little

It's kind of interesting.

(537) What's this?Hahaha... yes Harry that is
correct. It is a Philipino weapon
that Americans really first saw
during WW II. It was popularized in
martial arts circles in the 70s and
is now commonly for sale all over
the US. I do not know if they are
as popular in the UK, but they are
pretty wide spread here.
Someone else please take up the
torch!
