Play Equals Five With Boogey!

Temperament sounds like temperature. When you have a fever, you have "a temperature." When you have a fever, you are sick. When you get sick, you might get a headache. A headache is a type of ache. Aches hurt. If you got hit by five garbage trucks, you would get hurt too. Temperament equals five.

Your word is flourishing

Flourishing is flour if you take away the little extra stuff at the end. Flour comes in 5 lb. bags. Flourishing equals five.

Your word is self-referential.

If one makes a self-referential comment on this forum, one will probably get one's comment removed. If one makes a self-referential comment five times, one will get one's comment removed five times. Self- referential equals five.

Your word is epicurean.

An epicurean knows that more of a good thing is better. A cookie is good. Five cookies are better, according to the epicurean principle just cited. Therefore epicurean equals five. Q.E.D.

Your word is illogical.

Your word is epicurean.

This seems to be incorrect. Jennie_C, please do not do this again.

Please carry on with the game.

If something is illogical, it might not make sense. You have five senses. Therefore, illogical equals five. (I know, I didn't do that much).

Your word is hiccup

Removed by moderator. MrC, please check your PM. I will give you until the next time you log in to edit this post with a new response for "hiccup." Thanks

Your word is Machiavellian.

Machiavellian rulers are ruthless and do whatever it takes to achieve their objective. One might predict that Donald Trump will be a Machiavellian president. Donald Trump likes putting his name in big letters on his buildings. T-R-U-M-P are 5 big letters. Machiavellian equals five.

Your word is domicile.

Just a gentle reminder to stay away from political discussion. Carry on.
