– I don’t dare ask how we got from Liquid to Dypeptic in case it makes me look stoopid.
Storminess.
Woo! 10 letters! (Yes, I recognise the irony in that comment.) Why don’t why add kudos points for having words at least 10 letters long?
Sultriness.
Got ten exactly. 
Sweltering.
Another “perfect ten”!
“Sweating”
DOH! So perfect, and I forgot to refresh first. 
Still, if someone carries on from ‘g’ it probably doesn’t matter.
grimy
– so 10 letter word gets you Golden Kudos, whilst a 10 letter word starting and ending with the same letter is worth Platinum Kudos.
– New twist: you can post alist of words that each associate with the one before in the list if every word in the post starts and ends in the same letter to score Mega Titanium Kudos[sup]TM[/sup].
e.g. if the previous word was pongs, you could play smells, senses, sees, spectacles, sunglasses, sunbathes all in one post for ultra cool Mega Titanium Kudos[sup]TM[/sup] points.
yuck
(I really just want to see a word associated that starts with k)
knock
ya get a knock that’s pretty yuck. I get a kudos!
kick
kink (you get a kick out of your kink)
kook (if you have a kink then you’re a kook)
kick (push physically)
kink (ditto)
kook (strange personal traits)
kulak (disliked person)
kopec (russian)
kolkhoznik (russian)
kayak (both outdoorsy things)
kiosk (both designed to hold one person)
So sue me. Do you know how hard it is to get that many kk words? And I didn’t get knickknack, for which I think I should have got multiple points, since it’s TWO kk words concatenated.
knickknack. Hah! you can buy knickknacks at a kiosk.
– and knickknack is ten letters long, we need all to bow down to swampbear for five seconds reverence.
kleptomaniac (steels knickknacks)
cat-burgular
rapscallion
kudos + 1?
robber (synonym of cat burglar)
revolver (the robber is armed)
reconnoiter (emboldened by his weapon, he scoped out the home of a…)
roomer (the victim has a landlord, and is thus also a…)
renter (who calls the police and becomes the crime’s…)
reporter (whose call is taken by a dispatcher, who’s heard a…)
rumor (that the victim’s neighborhood is being hit by a former NFL wide…)
receiver (who takes the loot to his “fence”, a sort of…)
retailer (of goods that the police don’t manage to…)
recover (well, that’s ten words, so I’ll accept the new Iridium Kudos!)
All that writing in my previous post caused me to be nudged out, I see. So I’ll respond to rapscallion with ne’er-do-well. Ten letters, plus three punctuation marks!
lackadaisical
