I got that list from the Scrabble website.

My best Q in recent memory was Quinine. First word of the game, too, so I got the bonus for using all my letters. I also got challenged on it, so my opponent had to eat a turn. This opponent thought I was bluffing when I said, "quinine is an ingredient in tonic water and also a treatment for malaria." Imagine the disappointment when the dictionary said exactly the same thing.

My most recent Scrabble game was not my best. Although I won by a large margin, I never quite got over the disappointment of not being able to use "slut, " with which I would have opened had I drawn the low letter.
Oh, next time we are in your neighborhood, it is SO ON.

Silly people saying those things were not words have obviously not spent the kind of quality time with the Scrabble Dictionary most members of the Diva household have.
