Use the p then

  • trump - A suit in card games that outranks all other suits for the duration of a hand.

  • pi - A transcendental number, approximately 3.14159, represented by the symbol π, that expresses the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle and appears as a constant in many mathematical expressions

  • is - The third person singular of the substantive verb be, in the indicative mood, present tense

  • sap - The watery fluid that circulates through a plant, carrying food and other substances to the various tissues

  • Rapist - One who commits the crime of rape (e.g. Donald Trump)


Edit - even with the c

  • Sac - A pouch or pouchlike structure in an organism, sometimes filled with fluid.

A person who believes a particular race is superior to others (e.g. Donald Trump)

For a person to be in the position depicted the word would have had to be "sa" which I don't believe is a word. But you can play words that aren't words in Scrabble as long as no one challenges you. But it's also an incredibly bad choice of a word, setting up an opponent for a triple like that.

That is generally not how sentences work even if one word is on top of the next.

scrabble board

expects me to play by the rules of not scrabble

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I don’t know what version of Scrabble you play, but I’ve never seen a directive for how to read out sentences that happen to show up on a Scrabble board. Feel free to point them out to me.

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 48 points 3 months ago

i’m not making a sentence i listed all the words on the board dawg :( thanks for taking all the fun out of commenting

[-] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

It seems squid just misinterpreted the intent of the first comment. I doubt they were just trying to shit on your joke.

It happens sometimes.

lol they're just reading the individual words the way scrabble would read them

pi and sac are scoring words

squid had a bad day maybe?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

I don't know, looks like I pissed a bunch of people off and probably gained another few people who hate me when I didn't think what I said was anything but just playing along, so it sounds like a pretty typical day.

[-] STUPIDVIPGUY@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

ok well, so you know, you came off as pretty sassy and oddly defensive

i relate to having my attitude misunderstood though

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It's a good day when only one or two people tell me what a horrible, worthless person I am (I guess three if you include myself), so I guess this is one of the occasional good ones.

Edit: Come to think of it, there are no good ones and if I didn't have real world responsibilities, I don't know that I would want to keep existing.

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Hey, for what it’s worth (which is up to you to decide), I enjoy your being here. I get that you’re beyond frustrated about your personal life stuff. From what little I do know, it sounds horrible. So no shade there at all. It’s tough.

But, despite that, you come here and have helped build communities where people can go and let off steam and forget their personal shit for a few moments, and for some of us, that’s tremendous. You could shrug it off; you’ve not met these people in real life. I don’t know, maybe you have. But to some of us, it’s a little something we can look forward to because it helps us cope when we have little else. So thank you for that.

Anyway, carry on and fuck the haters. You can’t please everyone.

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

You’re neither horrible nor worthless. I think they got the joke and were just listing all of the words made. They read it like a “don’t dead open inside.”

Regardless, it’s brilliant work. I’ve already sent it to several friends. Great post!

You have fallen to one of the classic blunders. The most well known of which is never discuss a land war in Asia on lemmy.ml. But only slightly less well known is to never assume some random geeky thing is not a passionate fandom.

You've upset the Scrabblers by slightly misrepresenting the rules of Scrabble in order to make a pithy joke. For this, they will never forgive you.

[-] MediumGray@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago

My dude, you haven't pissed anyone off here that I can see, you've just gotten overly defensive and are seeing slights where there aren't any. People are disagreeing with you and some may be critical of your responses but that doesn't mean anything is heated. Maybe take a short break from Lemmy and get a glass of water or something? I mean that with 100% sincerity. If you're interpreting these comments as hateful you're probably in a bad headspace and I'm doubtful the internet is going to help.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

You mean other than the guy telling me that they agree with my assessment of being below contempt?

And sentences are not how Scrabble works. This meme sucks.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

If you accept that 'rapist' and 'racist' both apply to Trump, I'd say it's a pretty good meme.

[-] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

It's not bad in theme, it's bad in the way most of the Spiderman glasses memes are bad because they put the no-glasses Spider-Man on top when it should be glasses spiderman on top.

Tighten from Megamind as well where he's like "There is no Easter Bunny, there is no Tooth Fairy, there is no X" since X in the original scene is "there is no Queen of England" showing him as dumb for thinking a real thing is mythical, but most people use it for a thing they say doesn't exist too

"Crapist"

Has to be p because sap is a word and sac isn't

[-] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 39 points 3 months ago

They're both words but it's irrelevant because "sa" is not a word, so this could never happen in a real game.

[-] indepndnt@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

"Sa" is an Egyptian hieroglyph meaning "protection", an Arabic measure of volume, a type of Mandaean sacramental bread that is rolled up, and a character in the Javanese script.

If you were a player with known good two-letter word knowledge, playing someone without, you might try it as a bluff knowing you may go unchallenged

"Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point." —Joe Biden, 1977

This quote is accurate and has been verified. Biden was expressing concerns about busing as a means of desegregation.

Do you think he may have possibly changed his views on such things in the intervening half-century?

Robert Byrd started in the KKK and died a champion of civil rights, endorsed by the NAACP.
