Scrabble Challenge

During our Mexican Cruise, some rousing games of scrabble took place. However, no dictionary was to be found on the Vision of the Seas, so we improvised by asking strangers to verify the words were in fact part of the English language. We had a few disagreements, so upon arrival home today, I pulled out the Websters.

NIX - valid word. Sorry Karen - no "10 scrabble points IOU" will be coming your way.
ZERK - no entry in Dictionary.com or Websters. Why did we let the boys snow us with this one?
CAM - darn it, this is a valid word. Imagine that, Tim was right!
JIFF - it does have two "FF's". See, Timmy, we were right!
ZITS - it might be slang, but its a valid word in Websters!
EDAM - well what do you know, this IS cheese! Whoops! Sorry Karen!

Thank you Christophers and Apppletons for some wonderful memories on our vacation! We'll have to do it again so we can play more scrabble. Tim has a strong desire to win!

What about "onfu"?? It sounds French, therefore, I think I should have gotten at least a few points for trying!! :) (hee hee)
