joisted epitome of incomprehensibility You might think this means something like "having a v-shaped roof frame," but today it means "bragging about having gotten a Scrabble score of 108 on a single word, esp. if the braggart does this on the first day of her period while also running a sleep deficit." It was a lucky letter pull and a lucky guess that the Scrabble dictionary would make "joist" into a verb. I connected it with a sideways "how" to make "show" - the spaces above and below that "s" were luckily free - and with a triple word score and the 50-point bonus, that got me 108. Don't ask me to build a roof, though. That's over my head. 260906 what's it to you? who go blather from
