    • RE: Recommend addition/removal of words

      @mistertoad Since "pay dirt" is two words, and since you can't put two words down in one Lexulous move, we are stuck with either "paydirt" or nothing at all. Now it is true that it originally was dirt that paid , i.e. had gold in it. But once it got used as a synonym for a touchdown in football, it lost its connection to both dirt and gold. In the gold panning community here in Northern California and as used as a synonym for a touchdown in football, I always read "paydirt" as one word. It also doesn't make sense to say "he hit pay dirt," when there is no dirt. (Are you hitting pay that is dirt or dirt that is pay?) I should think that if a purist wanted two words, it would more properly be "pay-dirt."
