Personally, I hope that Peoples' Representative Eagerly Spirals Into Debt Ensuring New Term and President Romney Exists Solely In Democrats' Evil Nightmares, Thankfully both tie, because that way we can offend all political parties equally. Politics is no fun when only the party I don't support is offended. Felicitous

I really shouldn't play this game. On the rare occasion that I win a round, I just try to find a word to screw everyone up.

New word is DYSLEXIA.

Disorder Yields Swapped Letters. Example: Xenial Instead of Alexin.

I know it's not really what dyslexia is, but this is what it is commonly misunderstood to mean.

Think you may have missed the point there, novice. (Although technically, you have spelled it correctly as well I think. Unless I have misunderstood something badly!)

I probably have, now I'm confused... Revenge most foul! Yours was supposed to be an anagram I gather, it was still a misspelling though? Or did Thok mean that nobody misspelled the "DYSLEXIA:" part, not that nobody made backronyms that misspelled dyslexia?

I'd say we can safely call this one - and everyone got at least one vote:

What is the best backronym for DYSLEXIA?

Do You See Letters Erroneously ("Xmas" Is "Axioms")? - 27% [ 3 ]

Does Your Spelling Lack EXactitude? Mine Too. - 18% [ 2 ]

Diversify Your Signatures! Legally, Even X Is Admissible. - 18% [ 2 ]

Don't You Literally Spell Everything In X-word Anagrams? - 18% [ 2 ]

Despite Young Struggles Learning, Xyloprographer Inspires Awe. - 9% [ 1 ]

Disorder Yields Swapped Letters. Example: Xenial Instead of Alexin. - 9% [ 1 ]


The honor goes to mathgrant.

The heck? I didn't deserve to win that one. Elethiomel pulled out something much more beautiful than what I did. On the other hand, I would like to choose the next word, so screw humility.

The word is SUDOKU.

This one was over before it started.

Scurra, I think we can safely say that the next word choice is yours.

Whoah, that was actually a surprise, although I was quite pleased with it. (Obviously I voted before I saw the standings but apparently after the result was "called"...)

Anyway, the next word is, duh, CHRISTMAS.

As noted, the current word is CHRISTMAS.

After we complete the CHRISTMAS poll, we'll run another best-of, as this will give us a total of 10 new backronym winners.
