Hey. Squares & Crayons rule ! And the whiteboards & markers. Blackboards with chalk too. Plus pen(cil) and paper. Back of the envelope. Sandbox + pointy stick. Ink and parchment. Quill and velum. Spraycan and railway siding. Blood and the cave wall. Scalpel and unsuspecting patient ..... it's all good.
Yep, hit that flamepit. Other than that beware the difference b/w "invite for dinner" and "invite to dinner", or the notoriously ambiguous "dinner invitation".
Cheers, Mike.

I do need to send myself a PM so I remember what it is, though.
No need. It'll be one of these.
AptAstonish - to appropriately surprise someone. Can backfire on the surprisor if the sirprisee does not in fact become astonished - thus rendering the surprisee the aptastonisher
Toss-a-hatpin - except it isn't :(((((((((( no letter match with jumble
PathosStain – the mess adorning one's face after a bout of the weeps encourages one's mascara to depart from whence it was originally put *blink panda eyes at everyone*
HopSatanist – one who has elevated the hop to being above the devil when it comes to bowing down to stuff
PishtSonata – another one of those English words with more than one meaning. Can either refer to the sound made by bush-lurking [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitchers'_vocabulary]twitchers[/url] to encourage birds to leap out at them, or the accidentally sporadic tunefulness of a wandering, perpendicularly-challenged reveller on his/her way home from the pub or a party (can include hopsatanists)
SaintPotash - Patron saint of that weird potassium stuff we like to throw around a plant's anchoring system (sometimes called roots) to terrify them into staying where they are.
HostPatinas - anything that takes it upon itself to turn a bit green on the surface ... oh *SCOWL* AGAIN no letters matching the jumble ... grrr
There :) If I haven't won with one of those that isn't the two that I can't possibly have won with, I will be very very surpised, but I will have the good grace to leave the floor open for others to untwist David's twisting... for a bit :)
Although I doubt that will be necessary... No :) *go off and find new word to baffle einsteinians with...*
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
ONAPTHAPISS : an early form of .... errr ... Greek Fire. As used against the Persians in the Battle of Salamis, the origin and formulation of which is now not quite so obscure thanks to me. :-)
Cheers, Mike.
( edit ) Hmmmm ... line ball there. You may have to moderate yourself Mike. See if anyone hits the red 'X' shall we ?
( edit ) Actually it looks like he is holding the other guy by the legs, but with his feet chopped off, and it is his blood being sprayed at the other ship. That other guy is looking at him and saying "Must you ? Really ? That's my feet you've just hacked off."

RE: Aren't people
Nope, it's just a shorter word than we've been doing.

Needs to go between a p and an i.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter.

RE: r it went

Somehow, one of yours managed to change itself to an i.
Oh, btw, no, none of those is correct.
New hint: no double vowels and no triple (or more) consonants.
