This year our Ten Things each month are words with particular endings. Clearly this won’t be all the words with the nominated ending, but a selection of the more interesting and/or unusual.
Ten Words ending with -bus
- circumbendibus
- omnibus
- cumulonimbus
- trolleybus
- harquebus
- syllabus
- rhombus
- rebus
- nimbus
- incubus
Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to write a story in at most three sentences using all these words correctly. Post your attempt in the comments before the end of the month and there’s an e-drink for anyone who I consider succeeds.

Yes, it did ought to refer to bendy buses, didn’t it. Such a shame it doesn’t. Just how deceiving words can be!
