Any 4?
Lynx.....Meow
Sythe........which I can still use
Type.............what I'm doing now
Steak and Kidney….whoops;
Sydney where we have both vowel and constonant
Count
Not my question but, lynx seems ok. The "e" in sythe, type and Sydney seem to make them null and void.
I came up with
1. why
2, fry
3. sky
4. supercallifragilisticexpeallidocious (not sure of the spellin)
hhmm, seems a bit mabiguous the way I wrote it.
OK, lets change it to:
Name three words where y is the ONLY vowel
So Lynx is a goer, but not the others
yes, was a bit easy
I had rhythm, crypt, tryst and the lynx
Obviously I was lulled in to a false sense of intelligence because Homer couldn't get any
OOOOOH OOOOHHH Mr Kotter, Mr Kotter I got another one
fly :D
Then theres sty, dry, cry, spy
Permission to spit the Dummy
where's the judge/adjudicator?
I read the Q as words with "Y" as a vowel.
Nothing about NOT having other vowels..........
Who's a laywer...........hey, there's a "Y"
Dummy spit over; time to sulk ;)
Count
Ok, assuming its my turn, if not please ignore my question.
Wev'e all heard of murphys law, that is, anyhting that can go wrong, will go wrong.
BUT.
Was there a mr murphy?
AND
who was he what did he do and why did his law or laws come around?
I think I can manage the first one:
Yes there was a Mr Murphy ;)
Yes there was a Murphy, but the law wasn't named after him. It was named after another bloke of the same name. :confused:
That's my contribution. A 'hot toddy' and an early night to try to shake off this cold.
'night all. :D
Doesn't count (pun), misspeltQuote:

Maybe a bit late, but how about syzygy - the conjunction or opposition of two heavenly bodies (Marilyn Monroe & Jayne Mansfield?)
