Saturday night. We have game nights once a month at my place. This weekend we decided to play Super Scrabble, which I love. I'm doing fairly well. Not exceptional, but respectable. I keep getting the letter O. I was getting aggravated. Then I get a D, and then a K. I had to do SOMETHING. I put down D-O-O-K. My boyfriend stares at me, surprised for a moment, and starts laughing. Our friend who was there looks at me puzzled. "Use it in a sentence," they say. I said I couldn't use it in a sentence but if they wanted to hear the ferrets play, that was the noise they made. They both laughed and said it wasn't a word, and proceeded to argue with me about it for a good long time. I finally got my boyfriend to challenge it. I held my breath, as I wasn't at all certain that it would be listed on dictionary.com at all, let alone in the context I was using it in. As long as it was a word, I was ok. The boyfriend finally challenged me. And there, but for the grace of the gods, was DOOK in the dictionary. Not any mention of a ferret, or anything to do WITH ferrets for that matter, but it was there. Turns out it was a loosely used translation for a plug. Whodathunkit? I chuckled to myself the entire rest of the night. Thanks, kids... you helped me beat the boyfriend with a 4 letter word on a quadruple word...it was priceless, indeed.
