More Acros, or, my ascention to Hall of Fame

Pokemon-related acronyms:


POKENYMS: Pokemon Original Kreations.  Even Nicer, You Might Say.  (in reference to the fact that some pokemon acros will be more interesting than the subject matter)

PICHU:  Pikachu Infant.  Cries Horribly, Unpeacefully.  (Pichu, Pokemon #172, is a baby Pikachu)



General Acronyms:

ACRONYMS: Abuncha Crazy Ramblings, Openly Nice, Yipee!  My Stars!

[Angela Brett]

PICHU:  Pikachu Infant.  Cries Horribly, Unpeacefully.  (Pichu, Pokemon #172, is a baby Pikachu)

I didn't know there was a Pichu - I don't know a whole lot about the new Pokemon after #151, although I'm sure my nephew could tell me all about them. How many are there now? I was intending to make a tour of the first 151 once they're finished, and then do the others later. However, perhaps it would be a better idea to make the tour now and fill in the gaps as more pokenyms are created.


ACRONYMS: Abuncha Crazy Ramblings, Openly Nice, Yipee!  My Stars!


This one will automatically become one of the random ACRONYMS expansions on the top of each page, so there's some extra prestige for you.

IOMEGA:
Input/ Output, My Electronic Gargantuan Accesses.  (in reference to Iomega, the company responsible for Zip disks)

And don't forget Jaz drives/cartridges! (I Own Marvelous External Gigabyte Accessory, though I'm trying to sell it because I don't need and can't use it as it is with my iBook)

PC: Poorman's Computer

It's not an honour attempt so it's not too important, but we prefer acronyms like that to have more than one original word. See if you can think of an alternative C word.

Zzzzzzzzzra : Zoinking Zees (Zeds) Zoink Zizzing Zombies.  Zippily Zombifying.  Real?  Actual!

I can't say I've ever seen a zoinking zed zoink a zizzing zombie, though it'd be difficult to get anything better from those letters... I'll have to see what Tony says about this one.

Your dictionary's definition of "Zoink" is as follows.....

[Jeff]

Zoink is basically zonk...see webster.com for that.

Okay,  Poorman's Calculator perhaps?  Not too anti-PC, but even a W98 user like me's gotta admit...Mac is more stable, and (guess what?) has a hypercard player.

I don't think you really have grounds to reject it, considering your COULDS (Completely Off-the-wall, Utopian, Loads-a-money-for Development Suggestions)

What's ABUNYMS all about, anyway? Were you going for ABUNCHA?

[Angela Brett]

Well, I was thinking that myself, but it isn't really a poorman's calculator... a poorman's calculator is a calculator, and one which can actually do arithmetic accurately.

I wasn't really asking for a definition of Zoink... what I meant was, the expansion doesn't really make sense anyway - I've never seen a Zonking Zed, myself, although Zizzing Zombie is alright since I guess they're kind of sleeping. But what do they have to do with Zachery Zzzzzzzzzra?

"Loads-a-money" became a catchphrase in England in the time of Mrs Thatcher, from a character developed by Harry Enfield, _and_ it tied in with Eric's series of words. See the description of "Must".

Yes. It appears I got sidetracked.

A Big Unitary Number - Covers Hundreds, Apparently.

Angela Believes Unusual Novelties Can Have Acceptance?

You can be zonked by so many zees in a row and be made into a zizzing zombie.

>But what do they have to do with Zachery >Zzzzzzzzzra?

His name has a bunch of zees.  But who is ZZ Tops and what does his last album have to do with anything?

LOL.   -  Jeff, I think it's time you told us a little about yourself.

BUT WHO IS ZZ TOPS
Basically Unkempt Trio Whose Hairiness, Obviously, Is Super-Zapatan. Zitherlike Tools Offered Popular Success.

Angela,
I don't know them bery well but I think this is a reasonable description. Would you agree?

[Angela Brett]

Still, if Off-the-wall can be counted as one, perhaps Abuncha can be. However, I suggest avoiding the whole issue but using 'Abundant' instead. Do you like that idea, Jeff?

ZZ Tops is a singer, or band, or something... before my time. I'll let Tony defend his own acronym.

Can a Zee Zonk? It's all a bit iffy, but I don't know if it could be much better considering the letters you had to play with. Let's see what Tony thinks...

Abundent would be better, yes...

Before my time, too...

Zees can zonk you if there's a bunch of them all together.

I was surprised to realised that we never included, in this thread, an expansion for
