Nice! jinx, pharynx, syrinx coccyx, cervix, beaux, vortex, cowpox?

reesetee commented on the list x-marks-the-spot
Ooh, great words, trivet! I already have syrinx, but I'll add the rest--thanks!

trivet commented on the list x-marks-the-spot
Shoulda figured you'd have such a birdy word. Another: opoponax.
March 12, 2007
reesetee commented on the list x-marks-the-spot
The odd thing is that I came up with syrinx but not pharynx! ;-) Opoponax is a GREAT suggestion, but the spelling I found is opopanax.
March 12, 2007
trivet commented on the list x-marks-the-spot
Oh. Good then. I originally listed opopanax, but changed it cause wiki and other people here had opoponax. Now I feel better.
affix, oryx, and (not so sure about this one) archaeopteryx.

Got 'em. Love that fossil (Archaeopteryx)!

flux, lux, tux, sphinx,infix, prefix, suffix, pyx, radix, redox and fox. Not just a purveyor of dubious news, but also an animal famed for its cunning. cox
I love this list!
appendix: crucifix, haruspex, brux, flummox, perplex

reesetee commented on the list x-marks-the-spot
Oh, what fun! Thanks, sionnach! Every time I think I've exhausted the possibilities for this list, someone comes up with a zillion more. :-)

cicatrix,anticlimax,homeobox,lunchbox,influx,minx.
More questionable, there is a statistical concept called minimax (roughly speaking, an estimation strategy that minimizes the maximum possible risk). There is also a very common Irish word banjaxed, meaning broken, but I have never seen banjax used as an independent verb - I've only seen banjaxed.
March 13, 2007
reesetee commented on the list x-marks-the-spot
Hey, I'm not that picky. I'm having too much fun with this! Minimax and banjax are both on! Besides, I found banjax in an online dictionary, so I say it counts. Plus it's fun to say. :-)

Hi, Reesetee! How about matrix, executrix, and editrix?
October 31, 2010
reesetee commented on the list x-marks-the-spot
Hey, rolig! Good to see you here! :-)
Thanks, all, for the suggestions. I'm avoiding adding words with the -trix suffix (Ooh, suffix! Wait...it's already listed....) when it means "female _____" simply to make this a little more challenging. But all other suggestions added!
