All Words containing PORT

[Roy Hersh]

Johannes brought up a fun topic which I will tweak in this thread so everybody can participate in building this.

Let's come up with a list of all words that contain the word Port. I will keep a running list in this first post of the thread to make it easy to keep track of for everyone.

I will also start off with 3 that I use most frequently on this site and in the newsletter.

1. opPORTunity
2. PORTraits
3. PORTfolio
4. PORTugal
5. rePORT
6. imPORT
7. exPORT
8. PORTable
9. imPORTant
10. transPORT
11. supPORT
12. sPORT
13. dePORT
14. proPORTion
15. PORTal
16. passPORT
17. PORTend
18. disproPORTionate
19. PORTly
20. purPORTedly
21. rapPORT
22. imPORTance
23.
24.
25.


OK, now it is your turn. Only rule: ... it must be one word not a phrase or conjunction.

[Johannes Stadler]

- rePORT
- ex/imPORT
- PORTable --> goes well for PORTable knowledge (if the book would be in small size :))
- PORTugal :)

now i'll try and leave some over for someone else... :)

[David Spriggs]

- imPORTant
- transPORT
- supPORT
- sPORT (!)
- dePORT
- disproPORTionate / proPORTion (not a good one)
- transPORT
- imPORTant
- imPORTune
- supPORT (always a favorite)
- PORTal
- passPORT
- PORTable
- PORTend
- PORTly
- purPORTedly
- rapPORT


OK... I know..... I'm no fun.

[Eric Menchen]

PORTmanteau
PORTrayal
PORTion
PORTraiture

O.k., those last two are just variations on things already listed. I'll see if I can come up with something more original.

[Eric Menchen]

airPORT, seaPORT, spacePORT, PORThole, PORTcullis, prêt-à-PORTer

O.k., that last one is French, but makes it into the English M-W here.

Roy, you obviously had WAY to much time on your hands last night :help:

[Eric Menchen]

Hey, I can run a dictionary file through a grep. I thought this was a mental exercise, not a programming exercise.

[Roy Hersh]

Well as this thread had already fallen into the junk pile, I thought ... no harm, no foul.

It would have taken 9 more years to compile a list that comprehensive and at least it is now complete.

Andy, I was seeking other Port information and happened upon that list by chance. When I am in newletter mode ... the ONLY break I take is for a work out in the a.m. and posts here, besides lunch/dinner. Sleep comes once it is in Stewart's hands.

Imagine if I drank coffee? I think I am the only living being here in the Seattle area that doesn't. Who needs a latte or capuccino? Nothing like a great glass of late night Port or Madeira to stir the creativity.

[Stewart T.]

I think the bigger question is "Can you use all of those words in a complete sentence...? :devil:

[Roy Hersh]

Depends on what bottle of Port you wanna open!

[Michael M.]

What about "Porta Potti" ?

[Eric Menchen]

What about "Porta Potti" ?

For illustration purposes:

Perhaps that should be Porto-Potti. I suspect some of you will recognize where these are. -Eric

[Andy Velebil]

So are the orange ones for wimpy wine drinkers and the green for us hearty Port drinkers :devil:
