My gamemates, the amateur lexicographers

Was gleefully digesting the Collins Initiation Kit (courtesy of SA, membership that is rewarding, now for life) with my gaming-mates on Friday at our usual hangout.

I was gleefully pointing out Malay words like KUEH, ROJAK, MEE, (and slang like MOFO, ALF, BOI, BOYF etc) and they start heckling the book, arguing over the words and the language. So much for winning them over with the new dictionary. If people quibble over the dictionary, they will never pick up Scrabble in my opinion.
Wonder what Rob Street will think when he sees the Collins Initiation Kit.

PS: am typing out the 1856 game log for last Friday.
Will put it up soon (as in sometime next week)
