Do you have a favourite word? After the success [we had to do two F.L.O.P. lists] of last year’s #AWordICantStandIs, we knew we had to flip it on its head and see what the positive versions were. And you did not disappoint. #DoYouEver

[The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6am EDT] an inspired and growing number of brilliant, creative and absolutely fun people from all around the world take part in what is called a Hashtag game. @AFrikkinHashtag [say it out loud] is South Africa’s #1 Hashtag game and is always a lot of fun. The F.L.O.P. [or Fish List Of Prizeworthyness] is the collection of some of the best tweets from each week’s game and is what all seriously comedic Hashtaggers aspire to…]

Because it was the first game of the year i invited my ever faithful background crew of former co-hosts who stuck around, also known as The UnNamed Ones, to co-host with me and so it was everyone in as we started the year on a super positive note.

And i started off with a few examples of my own:

Plus of course any opportunity to have a go at my “Nemesis”

We did our usual USA trend:

And this week Tal got almost all of our favourite bots involved:

As well as the newly discovered Trending Tunes which finds a song for your tag:

But of course, as always, we know the only reason you came in here was to see if you made the list… and so here are some of the words that grabbed our attention for a variety of reasons and made it on to this week’s:

FISH LIST OF PRIZEWORTHYNESS [F.L.O.P.]

Starting off with Tammy who was super stoked for this game:

Jayme started us off on a super positive note:

Whereas Roe brought an absolute classic. Seriously, just say it out loud:

John also had a good one. i suspect everyone is going to be sitting at their screens mouthing out these fun-to-say words:

Dreamweasel did have a point about the repetition of his not-too-surprising word:

Khareena also had a super fun one. Go on – look at the person next to you and say it out loud:

While Marie was in Grandma Police territory:

Who was clearly trawling for internet points:

While Rishabh won the ‘Awwwwww’ crowd vote:

Metal had a bunch of us secretly sneaking off to our dictionaries:

While Rae issued us a challenge. Come on. Out loud. And go:

The Princess shared a popular word:

Which W. Ryne. Hall found the English accompaniment to:

While Sonu kept it real:

Noiseboxer brought a really fun one:

And Fudge also had a goodie:

Ali kept hers healthy:

Orctioneer also sent us scurrying with this classic as we saw what he did there:

Richard brought one of my favourite Moss moments:

Bradley brought us a double feature:

Ms. Baker had another absolute brilliant one on so many levels:

Rebel had a good explanation:

While Jason took his in a different direction:

i am a big fan of Kelly’s word:

JD left us over…

We think K Dawg was maybe only talking about herself here:

While Nia came up with an absolute cracker of a new word:

Wikineer added some class:

Orpheus had a word and a picture:

i found myself repeating this word out loud all day… so romantic, ha!

V had a great one:

And W G R had a plan:

While David kept his both family AND edgy at the same time:

And Amanda was completely 100% right on this one – Try it!!

So many super amazing words and i’m sure we missed a whole bunch… but there were even some that blew our minds just that little bit extra and these words and people made it into this week’s:

F.L.O.P NINE

[9] Satubellsworld brought the Hawaian and i’m sure we will need classes to learn how to say this

[8] Quoth brought a simple word but one with such immense power:

[7] Silent had this offering and i TOTALLY CONFIRM IT AS A WORD [now]:

AFH endorsed. Tell your wife she knows nothing. No, don’t.

[6] Noel scores huge on the Misdrection-ometer:

[5] You may have to go to the google to discover the Irony behind Natalie’s choice of word:

[4] A word and a definition from Daryl:

[3] Sambo had one of my favourites, but mostly because of the randomness of the attached picture which was kind of a Where’s Wally of donkey pics:

[2] Agatha wins Misdirection Points for this absolute classic:

[1] But this week’s hands down winner [as someone who has personally seen both the up and the down of fights against this dreaded disease] was Kevin with this absolute gem and we celebrate with you:

So thanks for playing everyone and especially well done to our F.L.O.P. 9. Remember that AFH happens every Wed at 1pm South African time which is 6am EST and we always have a lot of fun. Special thanks to The UnNamed Ones for their help and community week in and week out and for everyone who specifically kept theirs FAMILY for this game – we do appreciate the extra effort.

HUGE REMINDER that today [25 Jan] is #BellLetsTalk day which means every single tweet you send with the #BellLetsTalk Hashtag will see Bell donating 5c towards Mental Health Initatives and the @AfrikkinHashtag Game today is joining forces with the majority of the Hashtagging Game people on the Twitterer to have a double tag game which will be themed and working towards getting as many tweets happening for that as possible. So see you later and BRING ALL YOUR FRIENDS…

Much love and see you on the Twitterer, keeping the WIT firmly in there, while trying to eke out the TWIT.
love brett fish and No_bob [the world’s most famous stuffed dolphin]
