WhistleHappy Posted October 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 The word in the song & film is more often than not hyphenated with a four letter one preceding it... Hyphenation for the word itself is not necessary though. Clue... Song has been recorded and covered by numerous artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, beginning to merde myself already tbh mate... what have I got myself into now.. ? PS.. it's only trivial I know, but I am genuinely interested now in finding out where else, if at al,l the mystery word has been used, it just seems odd, and having thought about it, I wanna know..

WhistleHappy Posted October 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 So we have a word clue... S * * E * * O * E * The word fits into a well known six word sentence. It has award winning links to the music and film industries. A number of artistes have recorded the music related element. A 1950's book inspired the whole thing.

But yes, @WhistleHappy, ive never heard it used in any form other than the song. Andy Williams also did a version too. I'm sure it's been copied by many artists over the years. Not a word i've ever used in every day conversation bar the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPLENDORED Love is a many splendored thing Holy Sherlocks Batman! Maybe a bit generous with the clues, thought people might be getting bored with it to be honest, didn't realise I'd made it that easy though... Nevermind, it did take a Super Hero to crack it, I'm happy with that.. Right then, everyone's on the same page was on last week when I first thought to myself (God knows why) that I can't recall ever seeing the word ... S P L E N D O R E D … used anywhere else except in connection with the book title, film, song, and US soap opera... It is in the dictionary as a genuine word but is it used ANYWHERE ELSE in everyday language? …. Most words obviously crop up in many many situations... SPLENDORED despite it fame appears virtually unique in it's usage.. Or Am I Wrong? (anyway well done Batman … I'm off to change my OTIB signature now!)

WhistleHappy Posted October 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 PSST... Anyone know how to change OTIB signatures? … it's been a while since I last done it and I b*gger*d if I can remember how. I wanted to find another use for the word SPLENDORED so plan on THE GAP - a Many Splendored Thing! for my sig (or a pretty unique tag line for BS? ) Bristol Sport - a Many Splendored Thing!

To me just looking at the word it just looks wrong. I also think it should be spelt with a 'u' … but imagine, as it is such a sparsely used word which we don't see elsewhere, that the spelling predominantly stems from the film and song titles which I presume was dictated by the yanks, (similar to UK colour and US color) .. I think both spellings would be correct, but it seems to appear only in the ** 'Love Is A Many Splendored Thing' film/song context... ** (until now... I'm reviving and re-utilising it in it's well known minus a 'u' version and want to make it City related, it's a rarely used word so it can become unique to us... Hence my OTIB signature ) Come On You Reds.... Spread the word.. make 'BCFC a many SplendoRED thing. ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
