Words For Arrow
May 15th, 2007
Day 2 of WFME’s Week ‘o Searches brings us alternative words for “arrow” — another common search term that brings people to WFME.
Stingies
Tip-pain-yas
Straight-n-Arrows
Stucklers
Woundlooderos
Injun-airees
Pointfuls
Ouchies
Taikwon-dohs
Sharpleries
Pokertriglycerinetires
Are these all exact synonyms, or are they generally members of the word-class “arrows”? I mean, is a woundloodero exactly the same as a sharplerie (or is it sharplery in the singular)? I’d hate to be in the middle of an archery battle and use the wrong term. Like “ouch, I’ve been struck by a Taikwon-doh,” and meanwhile the other guy is laughing his ass off because it was really a Stuckler that he’d impaled me with.

What? What are the stats on that search? How many people are really searching for an alternative word for arrow? Doesn’t anyone use a thesaurus anymore???
