Yesterday's challenge allowed 'rogered' ....if the meaning is the same worldwide as it is here ...well, we know what that is!!
Anyway..is the person doing the rogering a 'roger', and if they were asking prior to the deed would they not ask if it was ok to 'roger' the person they were going to 'roger'...??
Seems 'roger' was not allowed....

As an ex air traffic controller, I know what roger and rogered mean to me: transmission received.
I wasn't bothered by rogered........ but, in the same puzzle, ordure is a common word ? ? ? ? ?

I feel a tumbleweed moment for you there, T!! >:D

The only reason roger wasn't allowed, of course, was that it didn't have a d in it, since d was the required letter. Roger is certainly on the common list.
I'm with TR when it comes to ordure. It is not a common word in these parts, although we're familiar with the concept ;)

Well, I have never heard of it; but that's me!

OH Yeah.....silly me....... :-R

Ordure is one of those words that is in just about every dictionary, even quite small ones, but is not actually used very much. Perhaps it was used more often in Victorian times, when it was probably considered indelicate to use coarse words like dung.
Anyhow, I take your point, TRex. I'll list the word for re-grading to rare.
