A chum has issued me this challenge. Find the longest word (in English) that does not contain a vowel. She has got to nine letters. I'm stuck at symmetry. You can use plurals. Any suggestions gang?

No googles or shit like that. Either work it out in your head or not at all. Do not use a scrabble dictionary. I hate people with scrabble dictionaries. If you don't use words like xxxxzyllkydr in everyday language then you shouldn't be able to use them in scrabble. There should be a different game called scrabble for twats.

I read online the answer is "cwm", which is a Welsh valley and is entered in some unabridged dictionaries.

Don't ask me how to pronounce that one. Dafydd? Are you lurking? Hey what's with Welsh people and there dislike of peoper vowels?

Tommy, 'symmetry' has two vowels in it? Or am I high?

the first y is a vowel and so is the e. You are still high, though. but at least now we know why Tommy likes to critic writing and not do any of his own.

hey boys-- Stuart from Brighton- via Seattle- via Nicole-is in New York. I'll tell him you say Hi. or Hy.

Ha ha, good lord. Sure tell Stu I said hi, I mean...high?

I'm afraid I too lack the patience for such word challenges. But then I've never been into crossword puzzles either. I think Sloth is probably on the right track, though - surely it's a place name, something impossible to figure out like that.
