Ok….this is a weird one?

So I am eating lunch with a few friends when we here a guy next to us asking his friend a weird question….well….until it started irritating me!

“What words have the word “CITY” embedded or inside the main word?” That was his question….well, now I cannot stop thinking about it!

Well, I thought of one word, Tenacity. Well, according to this guy, there are 47 words….WHAT?!?!?! Can anyone else figure this out or is it just a bunch of hogwash?

I thought “cityfied” was spelled wrong, that it should be “citified” (Rule: change the y to i and add ed when a word ends in y – like in cried, simplified and petrified), but apparently this is an accepted spelling also, according to:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cityfied

Great question!

Take the 1st 3, then add felicity, electricity,eccentricity, ferocity, histrocity, paucity, atroticity, veracity, capacity, audacity, ………….

That’s all I have for now. Will edit if someone doesn’t beat me to it while I’m thinking.

……………………Well, she beat me. But when I check out her list, I see at least 20 more I would have gotten eventually, but who has that much time?

Pretty stupid, huh? Never thought to google it, just tried to set my mind to thinking when all it wanted to do was to turn off the computer, turn off the lights, and rest a while. Oh, well, tomorrow’s another day.
