Asker's Comment: Well... you took 14 shots... but you got all 5. The key is 5 COMMON words, which is why -podous answers and the like were disqualified.
The 5 words were:
Horrendous,
Stupendous,
Tremendous,
Hazardous, and
Jeopardous. Okay, I've stuck my foot in my mouth with this one. Annelidous is indeed a word ending with DOUS, but it is not the word I was originally looking for.
So there are SIX common words that end in DOUS.
However....
Wiki answers , here and here reckons there's only 4!
There are four. The words are tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.
Another very ambiguous one, so will let you make your own decision...Worse things will have happened in the world today..."The only thing that really matters, it to love and to be loved."0 -
