Greetings, folks.  I was sort of stumped for a topic this week and was about to once again lean heavily on RTD or Scotchy, neither of whom gets enough credit for keeping this thing afloat every offseason.

Then I was watching an episode of Letterkenny where the women keep getting upset about words like ‘moist’ and it hit me:  draft the best words we can come up with!  Also don’t take ‘moist’; apparently that’s universally hated by the female gender, which is one of only (holds hand to earpiece)…ah, yes, I understand.

Apparently we’re not touching that subject with a 39 1/2 pole.

So, to the topic at hand, today you are drafting words.  You are not limited to English; if’n there’s one of them funny foreign words that tickles your fancy, you go right ahead and take it.  You do, however, need to know what that word means.  Once you have drafted that word you own it in all of its forms:  noun, verb, adjective, adverb, contraction, whatever.  Once the base word is drafted all variations from that base word are out.

You can use slang, so long as the slang use is generally recognized.  ‘Ain’t’ would qualify, for instance.

No proper names, unless drafted for a different meaning the name might also reflect.  For no reason whatever, for instance, ‘Kelly’ is both a proper name and a word used to reflect a shade of green.  So if someone wanted to draft the word Kelly for any reason that would be allowed.

With the first pick, and to no one’s surprise, I will take that most versatile of all words:

Fuck.

The rest of you are on the clock.
