I have used a BODKIN. However, a bunch of Irish and a bunny are named Bobkin, so I guess I'll let this pass, so that you can get at 2 Bs.

I realize I've brought this on myself with my choice of word, but I can't find "boopun", so I'm going to be (inconsistently) picky and skip it.

Guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Great guess! Acording to dictionnary.com Boojum may refer to: A particularly dangerous kind of Snark. Boojum (superfluidity), a phenomenon in physics, associated with superfluid Helium-3. The boojum tree( Fouquieria columnaris ) of Baja California, with an isolated population in Sonora, Mexico. A planned but never completed supersonic version of the SM-62 Snark A flying enemy whose shriek attack hurls your character back from it in the computer game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Funny. When I used chortle earlier today, it made me think of Lewis Carol and Jaberwocky. Irony and such... 7 letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandonb Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) the only possibilities are boo_u_ where either the 1st or 2nd blank is 'm' or 'p'... The only possible letters to fill in the other blank are fjqvwxz There is no word in dictionary.com for which any of those letters could be used to fill the blank in 'boo_um' There is no word in dictionary.com for which and of those letters could be used to fill the blank in 'boopu_' so I'm not sure where to go from here. Edit: well it looks like it was solved while I was typing that... Boojum comes up with zero results on dictionary.com "No results found for boojum: Did you mean BiJM (in dictionary) or Boojum (in reference)?" eh, whatever... who's up next?

Boojum is a made up word from the mind of Lewis Carol that has found its way into the vernacular. Much like chortle, which I mentioned before.
