CENSUS UNION AGO

Consanguineous -- Kissing cousins?

SERENE GOO HUT -- That's why they call it the meditation room

SERENE GOO HUT

If you add another E you get

HETEROGENEOUS ?

(and just in case that's correct I offer I FOR MUTINY ! Otherwise ignore me until maybe later.)

Hab, w/o the extra E, you get

HETEROGENOUS

Read your dictionary... there is also Heterogeneous...

I FOR MUTINY

Captain Bligh would of course like UNIFORMITY

DIVAN IDS ILIUM

(Couch potatoes with large egos...)

I am abashed. Heterogenous it is, certainly. (Although I must confess I have never heard of calling it "heterogenized" when we let the cream separate from the milk...)

DIVAN IDS ILIUM

INDIVIDUALISM

AMPHIPEDUMY - would that be "without a preference for one foot over the other"?
(two words)

PS - Just for fun - Google gives 10,300,000 hits for "heterogeneous" and 554,000 for "heterogenous". Is that a valid indicator of anything?

It indicates that Jo, like the minority, spells it phonetically when she can't remember.

Haberdash is abashed...

AMPHIPEDUMY

Happy Medium ( I see your future in Dictionaries!)

MERCY, IDIOT!

IRIDECTOMY

The eyes have it! No, I guess they don't have it any more! At least, they shouldn't.

GUACAMOL - a short avocado salad (maybe I should just call it an "avocad" salad?)

Well, Hab... I was going for MEDIOCRITY.. ... but you still get a good grade!

You know I'm not familiar with those medical terms..

GUACAMOL

Glaucoma... eezy peezy

NAZI CAM GAGER 2 words... but now I see.

NAZI CAM GAGER

Amazing Grace or Camera Gazing -- Saved or merely astonished?

and now for something amazingly perfect...

ATTEND HELLION - two words

Hmm.

ENDOTHELIAL NT has appeal but doesn't exist.

THE DENTAL LION has three words rather than two. So does
ONE LITTLE HAND.

TOILET HANDLE lacks an N. (Good thing it wasn't a P that was missing!)

Back to the drawing board.

Perhaps Doad can help you...

DENTAL HOTLINE?
NONLETHAL DIET?
INDOLENT LATHE?
DENOTE ANTHILL?

Maybe not...

As I said, Doad should be able to help. Or at least these students of his. They spend so much time there.

DETENTION HALL!

I got one! Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

Now I need to give you one to solve, right? Hmmmm

DIME WEVEL YELL

Catw,

I need a hint... I'm flummoxed!

I'm stumped, too, CW.

How many words (we need a hint if there's more than one)?

Best I can make is WEEVILY MELLED.

Dewey Melville - He tried to get the whale elected

Weedy Melville - He consigned the whale to a neglected octopuses' garden

Jo got it, if a bit backwards. Orderly guy, famous in library circles. Melville Dewey.

Sorry I didn't give a hint! You all seem so fabulous at this, I thought you could just look at them and get them. :-\

TANKED CIRCUS OIL - Got to keep those elephants lubricated! (two words)

TANKED CIRCUS OIL

If we're into libraries for the nonce, this must be
CIRCULATION DESK

HABLA PLECITA? ("Do you speak a little Plec?")

HABLA PLECITA

COON FIT INN A cozy place for raccoons and family.. 599

COON FIT INN

TALLYMEN

Physically I haven't solved it yet, because mentally I feel sure you must have had something subtler in mind...

That's what I'm thinking, too.

TALLYMEN

Man Telly (phone with testosterone)
Tally Men (let's count all the boys)
Manly Tel (phone company comprised of Arnold types)

MENTALLY.. of sound mind and body??? Reading the nonfiction shelves...

Now then, hab got it first, but didn't have the courage of his convictions. CW felt the same. KHC at least felt prepared to put it forward as a solution.

So, who posts the next jumble?

I'll let you fight it out among yourselves.

Possession is nine-tenths, and all that.

PIRATE BUMBLER

The Pirate Bumbler was imperturbable..

and I have no new word to jumble. Help!

Not at a loss for words, I hope, or speechless, or TOE-DUET IN G (that would be a pas-de-deux from Anna Magdalena's Notebook)
PS: hyphen-
ated

Thank you, Hab.

Well, if you add or change a few letters you can get TAMBORINIST - a band player
or BAROMETRIST - a weatherman

but if you keep at it long enough you may have a BRAINSTORM and solve it as is!

I NO SPRAIN IT !

So many intriguing alternatives -
A PRISON, INIT? - That's a gaol, right?
I PINION STAR - said Joshua, making the sun stand still
ANION SPIRIT - battery alcohol
SPIRO IN A TIN - Why not? If you can have Prince Albert in the can...

Don't sprain your brain! ... getting inspiration

ENEMY IS HONK... those mean, tricky geese!

I can't see any other words . . . blinded by the monkey shine.

Mo'over, both of you are skinny monkeys... yes, it is monkeyshine

Hab or CW... who gives the next word?

WOW! I got one? Amazing!

STAIL SHOI (One word)

make one of the Is into a P and get HOSPITALS

Sometimes we can get a clue from the association with the previous word. That's "solving by induction." Then again, of course, sometimes we can't.

(PS I don't propose "hospitals" as a solution. If I thought I had it, it would be in BOLD.)

Your answer stinks! Or is it just your breath?

OK, then, a question --

if "halo-"comes from the Greek "hals" meaning "salt,"

and therefore the "halogens" are the salt formers, chemically: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine (and weakly astatine, as I recall)

and there is really a mineral called "halite" with the formula NaCl (= sodium chloride, AKA table salt),

then why should the word that etymologically should mean "the condition characterized by the presence of sodium chloride" have come to mean "bad breath"?

HALITOSIS!

As to your question, Hab... I have no answer! Perhaps, Ask Jeeves.

Isn't CW fun on this game??

New word: PRIOR PANTIES....
