Want to hustle my mate

[RioRodent]

Thing is I see it as a lesson in life to my mates, so its like I am providing a service.

But no seriously, its banter and competition between mates. Our way of being matey is to out do eachother and there are always bets being made! With the words thing it is not a hustle is it really, its just them not being knowledgeable enough, I am not doing slight of hand tricks here!.

I only really wanted peculier words to ruffle their feathers and they are now privy to my ways. They couldn't believe inhaust was a word.

'Peculier' is quite a peculiar word... what does it mean?

But planning this in advance goes against the spirit of this kind of bet. Banter is cool and there is no reason not to take a bet with one of your mates when you know you are right and taking their money and the situation just sort of popped up, I  am sure we all do this. But I don't think it is cool to plan doing this in advance. You seem to be looking up the words and then looking for opportunities to take advantage of people. Perhaps I am wrong but does not sound like fun to me.

That's the only modern usage of the word that I know of.  Great beer.

Yeh it's fine if it's spur-of-the-moment, using knowledge you already have, but planning it in advance, specifically researching privately to gain extra-knowledge is ool imo.

I guess it all comes down to how he'd feel if he saw this thread?

I don't know him or your relationship of course, but I can't imagine he'd be very happy if he saw this thread.

Spur of the moment was the winningest bet.

This wouldn't be and even though i haven't explained this i wouldn't have taken anymore money from my mates after planning to try and get them using this thread. I would however get them to the point where we are about to shake hands and say no, i know i am right lets stop this.

Previous with mate is he thinks i am a dopey person, so i have taken it upon myself to outwit him wherever i can and this is one way.

But yeh the nature of this thread is a little suspicious but the fundamental thing is i am taking no money from my mates in a planned way i am now just trying to catch them off guard for the japes.

I do realise i am going against my op, but in my heart of hearts i was never going to take anymore money from mates in this planned way.

Tal is the epitome of the word "punctilious"

Some might say the verbiage from the Chess playing poster is preposterous, in fact its hard to challenge the verisimilitude of this statement

A veritable smorgasbord of circumlocution, sir!

sumptuously sesquipedalian

Tell your mate that SUGAR is the only word in the English language which starts with an S that is pronounced like SH.



If he accepts that, as him if he's sure.
