week 8: syt

before you get all all hot and bothered over the fact that i picked sythe over the hilarious-looking assything, you should know that it isn’t actually pronounced assy-thing (it’s assyth + ing). sythe on the other hand, has not one but two great definitions. besides the one that i went with, there is also, “fortune on a journey.”

assything · the giving of satisfaction for an offence
busyty · fussiness
epassyterotically · one after another
sythyche · an oath meaning “may i prosper!”

if you still think that i made the wrong choice, i will thumb wrestle you all epassyterotically. sythyche!

this is a post in the ragbag word summer series. for this series, i search for words in the oh ee dee that contain a randomly generated string of 3 letters and report my findings. it is a thrill ride.

previous entries have been: acyrological (incorrect in use of words), lobcock (a blundering fool), crwth (an ancient celtic violin), pfuiteufel (an exclamation of contempt or disgust), tenebrio (one who lurks in the dark), agathokakological (composed of good and evil), and ville lumière (an exciting modern city).
