Hi. My name is Jay and I'm addicted to captchas.
I don't know what it is about these things but they fascinate me; apparently to no end. I realize I've only posted one before but believe me, I've wanted to post many, many more (and thank me for not).
I guess I like to pronounce them and wonder, "If that were a word, what would it mean and what would be the clue for it in a crossword puzzle?"
Clearly, this one is no ordinary captcha. Enjay. Mmmm. Your first thought might be that this word is like a combination of enjoy and jay but does the word "banana" mean you want to get rid of your grandmother?
I imagine it is a word of French origin, so it is pronounced on-zhay'. It means "full of life, gusto, expectation". It's kind of like an antonym of ennui. For example: I am feeling enjay at the prospect of coining a new word.
If you're looking for the funniest stuff, I suggest starting with the Steve, Don't Eat It Homage and then the travel category. You're on your own with the older posts that have yet to be categorized.
