What is the name for a word that has the numeral of the word contained in it (can't really explain it!) like the film
Se7en for example?
 
Halo:

Halo, good friend, you've achieved your ultimate goal - you've got me stumped.

NEXT!!

Cheers, Martin :cool:
 
Will you start a new thread now? 'Don't ask me anything?' Maybe we could provide you with answers to which you have to find the questions.
 
I just thought it would be a nice gesture on your part. At least an "I stumped the chump" tee-shirt.

I'm sure Halo will be back for your Tournament of Champions though. I for one look forward to it.

Don't pay any attention to the Vanna White wannabe Martin. This is your thread and you can play with it any way you like.....the thread that is.

Sorry I mentioned her. She's a co-host of some stupid American game show.There's no reason you should know who she is.

I'll bet Ashlea knows though since one of V.W.'s claim to fame was a spread(it's your turn for the gag) that she did in Playboy years ago.

(sorry Martin, did you want to answer that?)
 
Woo hoo! I've stumped Martin! 'Ray for me! :D :D
Did someone mention a prize? :) Anyway, this doesn't have to mean the end of the thread, does it? (unless Martin's had enough!)

I really wanted to know the answer though, because it's been bugging me. :( Y'know, maybe there isn't a term for those "numerals in words" thingies. Maybe we should invent one?
 
I think I would call it a misuse of the English language.

Very good point, I was thinking the exact same thing when I was browsing the web for an answer.

Absolutely not!!

Why are toilet cubicles raised above floor level? Everyone who's watched any film ever knows how dangerous it can be to have your feet visible to others when you're on the lavvy.
 
Anything?

Ok, where did I get the inspiration for my user name? + Facts.

There is actually two but one will do.

I think it's for improving the circulation of the air - for airconditional purposes.

Electra:

Anything?

Anything reasonable, yes - no sense in asking for next week's lotto numbers or your neighbour's shoesize, or anything like that.

Or what inspired you to pick a particular on-screen name.

Ok, where did I get the inspiration for my user name?

But I'll give it a go, none the less. The one thing that popped to mind was the Electra-character in the Daredevil film. It's either that or you're a huge fan of Carmen Electra, but then again, who isn't?

Chewie:

I'm not.

Liar.

Electra:

Afraid not but good try though, never though of Carman it’s from Greek mythology.

That would've been my third guess.

In Greek Mythology, several persons were named Electra (also spelled Elektra).
  1. Daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, mother of Dardanus, Iasion and Harmonia, by Zeus.
  2. A Pleiade or Oceanid, mother of Iris and the Harpies by Thaumas.
  3. (Most famous "Electra") Daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra.

Make that 2 of us.


Martin, how much metal does it take in your body to set off a metal detector at an airport?

It's been awhile since I've flown and I will be soon.
