Enter the six hexadecimal letters into an

solver with a large scrabble-like
href="http://www.puzzlers.org/pub/wordlists/unixdict.txt">dictionary
and you can generate a list of sixteen 'English' words that are also
hex numbers. Good for sprinkling around your assembler listings to
spice up the usual DEADBEEF. CAFÉABBÉ anyone? (confess over a coffee).

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/dade says "To hold up by leading strings or by the hand, as a child while he toddles." Never knew that one. I grew up in Dade county, Florida, named after a major who fought the Seminole Indians.
