Enquiring minds need to know – what does ‘roughit’ as a single word even mean?!
I do remember it somehow as “to roughit”, like to go camping, without the conveniences of everyday life. You prompted me to dig deeper. It’s not in Wiktionary with that connotation which really surprised me. MW and OED have that idea as two words, but OED does give an alternate definition for the single word: a field overgrown with bracken or bushes. Definitely an unusual LB acceptance.
Mark, your above definition of ROUGHIT can be found in the online Slang Dictionary. It is used colloquially in my neck of the woods certainly as often as Yiddish words.
And Mark, I wait daily for you to answer a question I believe Emily posed a few days ago: please give a few pointers to the non-tech-saavy amongst us on how to distinguish a witty human poster (I thought MVUA was one) from a bot.
gosh am i glad that i accidentally went here instead of the actual Letter Boxed page on my browser – there’s no way i would’ve found any of those solutions even if i had spent until 1 second before tomorrow’s LB
HIGHWATER – ROUBLE. In 8 minutes.
Excited to see the solutions of my besties Miss Irim and Kanishk-boy later. 😊
Probably around 25-30 minutes, but I’m startled at the solution:
WARBLER-ROUGHIT. I’d been struggling with OWE, UIL, no ABLE, no RT, and with words I got, not keen on the leftover letters.
Got to WARBLER, and was just so frustrated – REBOUGHT left out the I , etc. etc. Jokingly, I thought, sod it, let’s try ROUGHIT and then I’ll move on to another word. To my utter shock, *it took it* and here we are. Can’t find it in a dictionary except as a city name. What does it even mean?
Yay, RF, well done, and Kanishk, looking forward to seeing you soon!
Good luck, everybody – still cross words like WEATHERGIRL and OUTWHIRL weren’t options but here we are. Happy Thursday!
P.S. – dug even further and found it!
ROUGHIT n. A small wood. (see also Rough (1), Roughet, Ruffets, Ruffits) A Dictionary of the Kentish Dialect and Provincialisms (1888)
Thank you to the county of Kent for a word in dialect that saved my bacon today!
Consistent with the OED def, I think. 👍
