... and it isn't the name of a stylish G4 pony from MLP: FiM. Just sayin'...

And I hope I do this right and am able to guess what you all ask! This is my first time, and I am definitely going to be working out my brain and search engine.

Well, you did act with _________ to accommodate my request in the previous thread! And I'm all the richer from your largesse :-)

You're welcome! The word is not "charity."

Hmm, I'm just not equal to this.

Louminus - The word is not "sincerity." I think that's what you're asking - probably not, but please bear with a newbie!

Tid - I think you're saying "irregularity." Ergh, I hope I'm doing this right.

Not: rarity, sincerity, irregularity

Not irregularity .. I only put the "not" in to make it relevant and witty (or so I dreamed!)

Let's say instead ... I AM equal to this.

I think I have it now (maybe...) - the word is not "parity."

See, I'm NOT equal to this! (Yes, it was "parity").

Could I address you as "tu" en Francais? Or would you regard that as way too much __________?

There seems to be a great deal of difference between these words.

I'm so sorry for getting back so late! I'm forgetful as it is, and schoolwork has been keeping me busy. Hopefully I'm able to guess the words correctly. ^_^

#9 - Oh, dear, I'm not sure. Could you rephrase it a different way? My mind is sometimes very faulty.

#10 - The word is not "hilarity."

#11 - The word is not "familiarity."

#12 - Hmmmmmmm... The word is not "disparity." I think that's it, but I'm probably wrong.

#4, 5, 9: After consultations with Messrs Funk, Wagnalls, and Google, I've concluded that the word is of my own invention.

I will try to exercise more __________ henceforth.

As an act of grace, will you please update the "Naught" list? (No guess here)

I will definitely do that! And I think the word you're guessing is "austerity," but I am probably wrong. Oh, well, that does knock another word out, at least!

Not: rarity, sincerity, irregularity, parity, hilarity, disparity, austerity

I expect I am giving away my ignorance but can anyone start a new crambo even if the last one is not finished? This isn't an answer, just a question.

#16 - The word is not"verity." Oh, I am not sure. I'll probably have to guess again soon. :)

#17 - The word is not "barbarity."

#18 - I see no reason not to. Everyone should have a shot at hosting Crambo!

Not: rarity, sincerity, irregularity, parity, hilarity, disparity, austerity, verity, barbarity

I think it must be because guesses have dropped out of favour and use.

On the chance that only the last two
Syllables have to rhyme, I think that you
Could consider __ __ __ __ to be the guess.
(Unlikely as it is, I confess.)
It's a noun that has a conde-
scending aura; one usually will want the
less superior-acting person to console
One, and not the type who can only dole
Out __ __ __ __.
End of ditty.

Sorry for the late response, everyone! My computer is dead, so right now I am borrowing my brother's computer for a bit in order to make a comment. Added to that it's finals time (yay!), so I've been busy with schoolwork.

Yikes, now I have to figure out the words, and my brother is getting antsy, reminding me that he has to get work done. I'm probably going to get these all wrong, and there are a few which I have no guesses for. I feel terrible about this, but I am pressed for time - my brother really wants to kick me off his computer!

#20 - Not "solidarity."

#21 - Oh, bugger, I can't think of anything! :(

#22 - I can't think of anything here, too. Gah, my brain is horrible!

#23 - Not "scarcity."

#24 - Not "polarity."

#26 - Very nice ditty, Roland! :) I can't think of anything to go with it, though - maybe "unfamiliarity"? My word isn't that, though.

#27 - Not "vulgarity."

I'm going to throw out a clue - my word ends in "erity" And I hope to come back soon and hazard some better guesses as to what the words are. Thank you for your patience!

On 26>29

The main thing wrong with
"unfamiliarity" as the guess of 25 is that it's about 9 letters too long.
(I was trying to reveal that
the guess was a 4-letter word; See Line 3)
But thanks for the "ends in "-erity" clue.

GOP hardliners used to say." __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
is just around the corner." The verity
Or mendacity of that (ca. 1931)
Is proved by History: it was no fun
Looking for work, or standing in a bread-line.
Only 1937 proved to be the time
Of Recovery (but Conservs say "not THEN, either!: it took a world war to shake
Us out of the Depression. ") Make no mistake:
Such doubtful (or specious?) arguments are still
With us, elect as President whom we will.
