Nothing says 'Christmas' like a listicle without commentary!
Testicle should be both 85 and 1, to capture the dual nature of the male of the species. Also, merry Christmas, Mr. H.
Ah yes … 'the circle of life.' From testicle to testicle, world without end, Amen.
Also, Happy the Holidays to you!
I assume you mean the cicle of life?
Also, of course, because there (usually) are two of them. But how to choose a favorite . . .?
Your name is NED! EEEE!! That's delightful.
I think "Natasha" is a more delightful name, myself. :-)
You have a name?!? I like it.
Very nicicle!
Fantasmagoricle!
Now I'm thinking maybe "cuticle" should be ranked higher…? But it's probably better not to second-guess these things.
This counts as commentary, no?
No fucking takebacks!!!
Such take charge manliness is why you are, indeed, editor of the decade.
I don't want a pickle just, wanna read my listicle.
Sorry Arlo
It's a Christmas miricle!
Hystericle!
Of biblicle proportions?

Ickle me misses "fudgsicle."

Misticle.
Magicle, even.
…and practicle.
A decade since Cats closed, and you don't include "jellicle?" For shame.
Hammer and Sicle? ;)

Wow. That's a lot faster than the search method I used: I leafed through the entire dictionary and marked every word that ended with "icle." Took me months.
Ah well. Live and learn, I guess.
*ddite. It's more fun with the OED online (more weirder wonderf'ller words), but since I’m no longer at university, no haz subscriptions. Merry XMas!
ticle
vodka and tonicle.
Bionicle!
Barnicle (ie: Bill the Sailor)
Lenticle @69?! Plz to cancel my subscription.
Cubicle belongs at minus 5 million. My .02$. Happy The Holidays!
True. It should probably be at the top of the list, instead of "listicle" (although I hate the latter too).
If I had known this would be be an x-mas listicle, I'd have put icicle first. Or maybe canticle …
