Not sure if I\'ve got something wrong, but I can\'t find a suitable word to fit in here!

D - O - R - E

Hi there,
I fancy the word you are looking for is DOOBRIE,
military slang!
Best wishes,
Jerry

Thanks very much, never heard of it, and it's not in the dictionary!

Hello again Jessie,
I don't know which dictionary you have there,
but it is given in Chambers dictionary.
All the best for Christmas,
Jerry

Don't dismay answers so bluntly until you research them. Jerry is correct and deserves a thankyou.

Dear Seaview
I think the word you were struggling for was dismiss not 'dismay' besides which I can see a very clearly stated thankyou.
The phrase 'mind your own business' springs to mind!

Hi,
My Chambers is 1997 edition, perhaps I should ask for a new one for Christmas!
Happy Christmas everyone, happy solving! and helping.
thanks, I'll say again!

Hi, I knew the word but just looked it up in my OSED and low and behold it wasn't there can you believe!

Doobie does not appear in older editions of Chambers but is included in the new ninth edition. So everyone is right -and happy again I
trust.

Whoops ! I meant to type doobrie. Before someone tells me !
