W is for wakeful - characterized by absence of sleep. There were many people on DS who spent many a wakeful night! [ghost_undecided]  [b071]

X is for xebec - a small three-masted pirate ship. Didn't Gerard Stiles have a xebec[ghost_undecided] I sure hope so, so we can go on to the next letter.  [ghost_wink]

If you're asking about the Java Queen, its model seen on the show was of a two-masted ship.  Sorry.  But please don't feel bad-- xebec was disallowed in an earlier round (replaced by xyst) after a poster attempted to tie it to the Collins ship fleet.

But perhaps the pirate who gave Naomi Collins the fabled jewels was captain of a xebec. ;)

Thank you, ProfStokes, for making xebec work! I knew it could be used somehow! [ghost_cheesy]

Y is for
yearly - Joan Bennett took a yearly vacation when she was on DS. [ghost_wink]

Z is for zetetic - asking; questioning. Many characters on DS made zetetic statements, particularly David Collins. [ghost_rolleyes] [ghost_undecided]

A is for Analphabetic: unable to read.  Ben Stokes was analphabetic when we first met him.

C is for contemptuous. In episode #628, Adam had contemptuous feelings for Nicholas. [ghost_mad]

[spoiler]This was after Adam killed Eve and discovered that Nicholas lied to him. [ghost_angry] [/spoiler]

D is for dishes - In episode #100, when Burke and Vicki were in the kitchen in his suite, there were dishes in the dish dryer on the counter by the sink. Does that mean he actually cooked there? [ghost_rolleyes]

E is for electricity.  Except for the basement, the Old House did not have electricity. [winkg] Also, there were many times when the electricity went out at Collinwood during a big storm. [shkdg]

F is for factotum - a person, as a handyman or servant, employed to do all kinds of work around the house. Willie Loomis was a factotum. [ghost_wink] Actually, so was Tom Jennings..... [spoiler]before he was a vampire! [ghost_shocked][/spoiler] Oh, and Matthew Morgan was a factotum, too!  [ghost_smiley]

Your on a roll Sally.  My brain is fried right now.
If you like DS and want to have a fun  on a Facebook page that is open to all forms of DS and doesn't allow childish behavior like some groups; come on over to DIAESD! You do have to ask to be invited and I will approve you.
