I tried to only answer yes when I knew what the words meant rather than guessing. I also said "bubba", "bumf" and "nonsuccess" weren't words which it disagreed with. Most of the other things that I didn't get were from biology. "lymphoid" (guessed it might have been a word but hadn't heard it so entered no), "dabchick" etc. "bubba" and "bumf" are interesting ones as they ask the question of where the language ends and local dialects and slang begin (or are local dialects and slang within the language in which case an exhaustive list is impossible).

Interesting, for me, to see 'bumf', because even though I recognize the word from my English dialect (Southern UK, originally), I'd mark that form as a nonword because I feel it's spelled wrong: I would write it 'bumph'. I have no idea why I would feel so strongly about that, though, because I can't imagine it's a word I've written or seen written down particularly frequently...

  I don't think I've seen "bumf" written down but I've certainly heard it a few times.
