AIRRAID AIRSHIP ARIA ARID DRIP HAIR HARASS HARD HARDSHIP HARISSA HARP HARSH IRIS IRISH PAIR PARAPHRASIS PARIAH PARISH PARR PIRAI RADAR RADISH RAID RAPID RASH RASP RIPRAP SARI SHARD SHARIAH SHARP SHARPISH SPAR
Pangrams: HARDSHIP
Missed: SHARIA, an alternate spelling of SHARIAH.
PARAPHRASIS (n) paraphrase. Sounds like a medical condition in the OCD spectrum, and I've known at least one person who actually paraphrased what others said in near-real-time!
OK, I have to tell you this story from when I was a young lad, living with my then girlfriend in an apartment in Hoboken NJ. There was some issue with plumbing, and the landlady called in a plumber, who entirely looked the part - a big fat Italian guy with the crack showing, you know, talked like dis. His assistant was a wiggly skinny dude who obviously suffered from paraphrasis: every time the plumber would say 'da pipe is rusty, you know', the assistant would chime in: 'yea, the pipe, the pipe', both hands in the air. At some point the plumber uttered something kind of complicated about check valves, and the assistant uttered 'yeah, what he say, what he say'. Paraphrasis. Not a real thing.
True story, and no, I am not a racist because of experiencing racial stereotypes and talking openly. Maybe you are? Maybe I will become a PARIAH (one who is despised and rejected) by writing this, but that's on you.
RIPRAP: (n) rubble foundation; rubble used for that, (v) constructing or erecting one. (Not the first time I can't remember the definition of this one, probably because of the damned 3d-printer)
Another day.
