Yeah, I couldn't work out what word he was getting at... All the bad four-letter-words I can think of have different first and last letters!!

I could only think it was a female hen and his spelling was atrochus attrowcious crap.
None of those in my list make sense (although, to be fair, if his clues are as "good" as DD's then there's little hope!
|

Do you mean to say the word is not in any dictionary?
Let us hope DD solves it. Or the dedicated followers of CCC. Then you guys can tell me what I should do.

Is it English?
I can't think of any rude four-letter words starting and ending with the same letter, save one trivial example, which titillates 10 year olds when they enter "9009" on a calculator and turn it upside down...and I've not heard of a Plan "9009" before.

This seems like the best guess so far, but I fail to see how it fits into Vivic's description of the word.

Check.

Check.

I've never heard of going to plan twat. CCC regulars, please tell me how to stretch my imagination to make it fit.

So the usual plan of action is "aw"? Again, I beseech the CCC regulars to unravel this mystery for me.

It is a rude four letter word with the first and last letter the the same. That's all I need to hear. I now for the the third time, get to say...

Eh, what's that? I can't hear too well. Please repeat that a bit louder.

Did I say rude 4-letter word?
The word is the name for something that goes "boom". You got most of the letters right there.

I assume the word is 'bomb'.
Except .. so what? It's a bomb tournament? And?
Methinks there is something missing in the translation

Nothing is missing in the translation.
Should I go bragging that I won first place in this tournament, only to find myself in the databases of certain Federal agencies who are seeming answerable to none, was the question.

It's posts like these that remind me that I haven't missed anything by never having played Angry Birds or created a Facebook account.

Gmail was up and down all day today. There was a link on the error page that said: 'Show Detailed Technical Info'. I clicked it. Here is the 'detailed' technical info that I saw: 'Numeric Code: 5'.
Wow, that's detailed! Thanks Google!

Quote: 'Numeric Code: 5'.
But you misunderstand. Google is so good at writing code there are only 10 possible errors that could ever happen so the number 5 is plenty detailed enough. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

But wait...Microsoft System error codes go from 0 - 15999, so...ah yes, makes sense!

No, no - they have Extended Error codes as well, they ran out of space in just two bytes...
