(In reply to
Is this a word? by grumbuskin)
Yes, "this" is a perfectly good word. But "duckskin" is a fowl word that brings me down. It is a word used only by the crackskulled, as in the common saying "I am so thickskinned that insults fall off me like water off a duckskin." (Why did my program find thickskin but miss thickskinned ? The latter must not be in my massive word list). Also, there would be "ducksins" and "duckskinned". There is also "hackskiing", a term for competitive slaloms by New York taxi company moguls. My program would have found all these words if it had run for two seconds rather than one.
