TREASON

(This kind of rearrangement is sometimes called an "antigram." Let us sincerely hope so.)

I do see that it is a word, but I am not sure how frequently it is used.

FERETS

I know, I know. I am missing an "r." BTW, ours just died, having led a long and productive life!

There's a better anagram of TREASON. Free-associate a little; it followed your "filibuster," remember?

"A pestering sister's a festering blister, it's best to resist her, say I..." - Tom Lehrer

Once again, Hab has me confused.

Senator??? But, how is that related to Tom Lehrer's song?

Kalleh,

I think Hab was obliquely answering your FERETS anagram -- FESTER.

Unless the word you were thinking of was FREEST, of course.

FESTER indeed. I should have put that above the body of my post for clarity.

The person who invented this anagram hid his identity:
COGNITION

Good one, Kalleh.. now try this one:

Once upon a time there was an understanding that capitalized words were verboten - or at least identified as such...

Not to worry, KHC, I was just putting on my Ostentatiously Grouchy hat for mock-seriosity purposes.

I'm a supposer, but could it be purposes?

Is there a conversationalism ? That would be a word used in vernacular speech ...

I don't know about conversationalism.. you'll have to wait on jerry to finish surfing.

Try this:

haberdasher asks, "Is there a conversationalism ? That would be a word used in vernacular speech."

That's what I speak ==> Vernacular speech.

This word is driving me crazy!! I've tried so many time to unscramble and get nowhere... Give me a hint..

Because he was a hobo
And the oboe, it is clearly understood,
Is an ill wind

Blows good..."

I do wish these posts were in technicolor!

Now for Hab's ademocrat

We don't have anybody named Joseph on the board, do we? That would be amazing.

Hab,
I've messed around with ademocrat too long.. there is Life! Either it is Kalleh, A Democrat or it's coat dream or arcade tom... take your pick. I'm flubbergusted..

You win..

You're really, really close, actually.

Google "technicolor and joseph and amazing" and see what you get! ;-)

Well, I, too, had been working on it. Thanks for the tip, Hab. I got it finally, but I will let KHC post it since she has been so frustrated....and she was so close! Frankly, I would have never gotten it without a hint.

dreamcoat

Thanks, Hab for the hint... coat dream? Oh, well, it was late.
