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.

MisterHippity

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 . . .?

Natasha Vargas-Cooper

Your name is NED! EEEE!! That's delightful.

MisterHippity

I think "Natasha" is a more delightful name, myself. :-)

naugahydeandseek

Fantasmagoricle!

MisterHippity

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.

A decade since Cats closed, and you don't include "jellicle?" For shame.

Natasha Vargas-Cooper

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!

Cubicle belongs at minus 5 million. My .02$. Happy The Holidays!

MisterHippity

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 ...
