The Discworld Word Game

[=Tamar]

Aside from the fact that they did find it...

Trapdoor Not Found ==> De Vere

 

[RathDarkblade]

Who's De Vere in the Discworld canon? I can only remember Edward De Vere.

De Vere => Edward d'Eath

 

[=Tamar]

De Vere was Captain of the palace guard in Genua.

Edward d'Eath ==> Hamadryad

 

[RathDarkblade]

Oh! No wonder I forgot, he has such a small part. (All right, less of the "head in the gutter"-type sniggering...)

Hamadryad => Devant-Molei, Rosie

 

[=Tamar]

Devant-Molei, Rosie ==> Eightfold Seal of Stasis

 

[RathDarkblade]

Eightfold Seal of Stasis => Stamp, Nellie

(Am I the only one who thinks that Nellie Stamp is a great name for a music-hall performer? Or any music performer of music, really. Or don't people who go to concerts stamp their feet any more?)

 

[=Tamar]

I'm only aware of foot-stamping as a complaint, such as
when the movie doesn't start on time or is out of focus
(yes, youngster, in my day sometimes the person running
the projector had to adjust the focus).

Stamp, Nellie ==> Pished

 

[RathDarkblade]

I was thinking more of stamping your feet to the music. A-one, two, three, four etc. Doesn't anyone do that any more?

Pished => Dangerous Beans

 

[=Tamar]

I think it's considered rude unless overtly encouraged by the performers.

Dangerous Beans ==> Size 15

 

[RathDarkblade]

Hmm ... which is why I thought Nellie Stamp is a great name for a music-hall performer. Music-hall is -- as I understand it -- a rowdier place than, say, an opera house or a concert hall. I'd expect people to stamp their feet there, or do other rude things (e.g. shout encouragement, throw orange peels or peanuts etc).

IIRC, people did that when Shakespeare's plays were first performed. The Globe used to be a much earthier place.

Size 15 ==> N'choate, Azhurul

 

[=Tamar]

N'choate, Azhurul ==> Lancrastian Army Knife

 

[RathDarkblade]

Lancrastian Army Knife ==> Evil Harry Dread

 

[=Tamar]

Evil Harry Dread ==> Dictionary of Eye-Watering Words

 

[RathDarkblade]

Dictionary of Eye-Watering Words ==> Soup II

 

[=Tamar]

Soup II ==> Illuminated Mages of the Unbroken Circle

 

[RathDarkblade]

Illuminated Mages of the Unbroken Circle => Exclusive Possession

 

[=Tamar]

Exclusive Possession ==> Nobby Nobbs

 

[RathDarkblade]

Nobby Nobbs ==> Snakes and Ladders (with greased rungs)

 

[=Tamar]

Snakes and Ladders (with greased rungs) ==> Spolwhittle

 

[RathDarkblade]

Spolwhittle ==> Eric Thursley
