User:Dweller/Challenge Dweller

This is your chance to Challenge Dweller, a game played for fun, but which will only enhance Wikipedia articles. If anyone actually sees this page and is daft enough to challenge me.

Background
Chris the Dude congratulated me on including the word "opprobrium" in the article England national football team managers. It's probably been edited to smithereens by the time you read this, but believe me, it was there once. It may even have been spelled correctly.

Anyway, it reminded me of a game I used to play as a youth leader, where we would challenge each other to work various unlikely words (blancmange was a favourite) or short phrases in a casual, unforced and apparently natural manner into otherwise serious unrelated debates/speeches.

So, challenge me to do likewise, in article space.

Rules

 * Stipulate a word or short phrase you would like utilised, and a challenging Category for the target article, e.g. use "aerodynamics" in Category:Wine
 * Despite the silliness of this Challenge, I will only work to enhance articles. Therefore, the word you challenge me to use must be one that the average reader would comprehend.
 * Drop me a line at my talk page to let me know there's a new challenge

Prizes
Exciting and valuable prizes are available for tough and amusing challenges. You'll have to work out what they are and where to find them though. Or they might have current owners who are surprised to find you're claiming "their property". But that's their own fault for not listening enough to Imagine, isn't it. Aren't some people narrow-minded?

Hall of Fame
If anyone's daft enough to Challenge me, I'll archive any good ones here, with a diff to where I managed to include the word. If I did. Probably.

Current challenges

 * Use "sfumato (the technique of allowing tones and colors to shade gradually into one another, producing softened outlines or hazy forms) in Category:Statistics -- Slacker13 (talk) 17:52, 27 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Use "nepheligenous" (adj., producing clouds of tobacco smoke) in Category:National anthems. You asked for it.  --   Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  10:16, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Lol! I think I'll give it a bash, in article space within that category. --Dweller (talk) 10:22, 2 April 2015 (UTC)


 * User:Dweller Use "borborygmus" (Noun, a rumbling or gurgling noise in the intestines) in Category:Galaxies. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 15:15, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Whoah. Challenging. Thanks, . Nice username, too. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 09:50, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Former challenges

 * use "indisposition" in Category:Footballers, simply because this challenge reminded me of an old joke using a similar theme which would end something like "He proved surprisingly adept playing as a striker, even though he had never previously played indisposition." Bonus points for interesting juxtaposition, or indeed using the word "juxtaposition" itself. Oldelpaso (talk) 21:50, 28 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I recently noticed that World Happiness Day and World Poetry Day were on precisely the same day, which I deemed "a judicious juxtaposition of jubilees". True story. -- Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  10:09, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Gosh, I appear to have missed this for seven years. It sounds doable though, in article space within that category. --Dweller (talk) 10:22, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
