I PMed D1iab to clue again just to be on the safe side

Which site do you use to rand words Nich?

Dunno; I’d just remove any obviously weird word like those 3…like I can’t come up with any trio of words that gets to any of those 3 even if I was the only cluer giving all 3 words

Good one. You had no way of knowing for sure, but if you went "revisions" I would have got it as well, and would have known for sure that "revisions" was yours...lol

PS. Still not sure why you folks call studying and/or doing homework "revisions" though ...lol

Intentionally trying to dupe to result in a pass is next level.

I think there was a scene in airplane about "over and out" - I considered cluing out but figured that could go in so many directions.

Would be amazing if one team had clued “you” “should” “pass” without duping on of of those words

The captain's name in Airplane! is Clarence Oveur

Such an awesome film

Great job nich, especially on sabotage. Beastie was one of those clues that was so obvious that I thought everyone might avoid it. But you also need somebody to clue it or else it's gonna be really tough otherwise.

I looked up Galloping Gourmet and it's a cooking show from the 60s with 100 votes on imdb! That is one helluva shadowfax lol.

Are hyphenated clues allowed?

Newlywed: marriage, Game, Eubanks

Other two might be legit impossible.

wow; wonder how he thought that clue would hit, then

I guess it's good in that it didn't clue for other culinary words that could throw me off

like Michelin could get more to chef or star; and Thermador or Subzero to appliances

gourmet is a hard word; culinary refined is a good duo of words to get me to think of gourmet and then Galloping at least being capitalized and the alliteration made it sound like it could be a thing, so it worked

yeah hyphenated should be fine

we allow symbols and emojis, after all

and yeah, marriage, game, eubanks is a great clue for Newlyweds so that one was doable

Hyphenated is problematic imo. Basically let's people clue two words. It would need to be a hyphenated word that is listed in dictionary.com (or other source) imo.

Yeah, it has to be a real word as hyphenated, not to get around the “just one” idea

Well there goes my penguin-seagull clue. :(

Agree with this. If you can google it, and it has a hyphen most of the time, I think it should be allowed.

"Spider-Man" is legit. "Wonder-Woman" is not.

That was me. My mom used to watch that show back in the day, which probably made me think it's more well-known than it really is. I figured if Nich actually knows it, it's a lock, and if he doesn't, well...I didn't have a better idea anyway.

And yeah, great job guessing, Nich. Clues were solid, but words were not a gimme by any stretch.

Galloping Gourmet had a pretty big following in Canada back in the day. I actually thought it was Canadian because it was on CBC, Canada's BBC.

Team C words for POGCrazy:

1. diced, satire, Bloomin'
2. Condoleeza, Jerry, sushi
3. pocketbook, billfold, leather
4. Steinway, keyboard, instrument
5. mantel, floating, flat

1. Has to be onion for diced+satire, no idea what a Bloomin' onion is though

2. 3 great clues for rice

3. lol USA for calling a wallet a billfold

4. Steinway a great clue to get me to piano

5. All types of shelf

5/5

You deserve a

I don't think most people in the US call it a billfold.

Here's where the LOL USA is much more appropriate:

Looks delicious

yeah it was called a billfold back when people actually held cash in their wallets (we call them dollar bills)

but you never hear that the past few decades

I guess I wouldn't expect someone from the UK to know what good food is.

:p

Lol good point, I just had a roll on haggis for my lunch :p
