Inspired by a Katzilla post in Random Thoughts.

Use the site search engine to find a word that has only appeared in a single OT post.

Spell your word out with spaces: i_n_t_e_r_t_e_x_t or post a screen shot, so as not to spoil the one-post beauty of the search results by making your post in this thread itself a second instance of the word's use.

s_p_a_n_g_l_e_s is an example.
 
I got one! :D

K_N_U_C_K_L_E_D_U_S_T_E_R_S

The singular was ruined by a long-ago zoot suit post. :hmm:


Make sure to check the box "search this forum only" to keep the search limited to off-topic.
When you get a word that is a contender, try variations on the word.
I think that counts ya.

The one with the most entries wins!

*Words added after April 18th 2022 probably shouldn't count if people manufacture winning words.
 
c_o_r_r_u_g_a_t_i_o_n only turns up one post. The word was used in a quote. Don't know if that counts or if the word has to have been used by a poster.

Words added after April 18th don't count (cough detumescence cough), as Kat says, and words with a second use added after April 18th do count.
 
a_n_h_e_d_o_n_i_c. Four.

A_n_a_c_r_e_o_n_t_i_c. Five.
 
This is fun.

K_a_t_z_e_n_j_a_m_m_e_r

B_o_u_f_f_a_n_t

H_y_d_r_a_n_g_e_a

A_c_c_e_n_t_o_r (does it count if I was the one that used it?)

T_m_e_s_i_s (same question)

S_h_o_e_g_a_z_i_n_g

S_p_i_n_n_e_r_e_t

Okay I'm done now.

K_a_t_z_e_n_j_a_m_m_e_r

B_o_u_f_f_a_n_t

H_y_d_r_a_n_g_e_a

A_c_c_e_n_t_o_r (does it count if I was the one that used it?)

T_m_e_s_i_s (same question)

I think so as long as it is a real word.

We are unearthing the oddballs with 21st century technology!

Beat that Gori :ninja:
 
S_o_d_a_l_i_t_y

P_u_n_c_h_d_r_u_n_k

S_p_a_t_c_h_c_o_c_k

Y_o_u_t_h_q_u_a_k_e (kinda surprised by this one, it's still a pretty trendy word)

M_y_c_e_l_i_u_m

M_A_R_M_I_T_E_S

@Catharsis Wut, how so many?! :dubious:
My brain hurts.

**Edit**
Wait, this might not be a valid word, let me check.

Bah, the Off-Topic poster quoted Wikipedia wrongly as a humorous joke in response to a marmite/marmot joke. :cringe:

It is in fact not a word.
The plural of the animal would be M_A_R_M_O_T_S

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmot


I am back to 2 successes then.

C_O_M_P_L_E_T_I_S_T

I almost got a twofer with C_O_M_P_L_E_T_E_S_T which is a totally different word, but two posters have used it in the past. :sad:
 
It took me a while to find some words. We got a bunch of sesquipedalians here :smoke:

X_y_s_t - which is a covered portico. Although when it was used, I think the poster just misspelled Xyth, someone's username.
V_e_r_d_u_r_o_u_s - meaning very green especially in regards to plants and vegetation.
a_b_i_e_n_t - avoidance or withdrawal.
 
Caught my eye and here I am drifting off topic...

c_l_o_i_s_t_e_r_i_n_g
g_r_i_s_a_i_l_l_e
n_u_r_d_l_e
s_o_l_i_t_a_i_r_e_s
t_w_i_z_z_l_e_s
z_u_c_c_h_e_t_t_o


External quote:

a_n_t_i_c_o_n_v_u_l_s_a_n_t
a_n_t_i_c_o_n_v_u_l_s_a_n_t_s
e_l_e_c_t_r_o_p_l_a_t_e_d
p_a_r_v_o
s_a_m_o_v_a_r_s
