Regular Run of the Mill NO LIST Codenames!
Post if you want in, ideally 8 people but the normal game - guess your stuff and ideally go fast bolding away a guess at a time(Snapguess + guess + etc). Spirit of the game is to just bold away at what you think, keep 0-1 max backup and go quick.

As in, as a brit, i might be missing a cultural connection
Alien is just a word for foreigner
So Canadians are alien to anybody but Zurvan here
I don’t love alien but it’s decent and IBD really likes it and it gets us 5 so I think we fire these 5 and go from there

Jackson - 3
Michael Jackson was the King of Pop, so I'd have to assume those are 2 of the 3.
Agreed. For the third, I literally just walked by a big statue of President Andrew Jackson on horseback in front of the White House. King/Pop/Washington?
How is king not a Canada word tho? I kinda like foot for the moonwalk, or even just dancing in general.
If King is ours, you don't clue this. You let them guess it, or make them clue around it. If King is theirs, do you hope we see that and skip it? It may be FPS but I think I'm off King.
Michael didn't play Guitar.
Foot for moonwalk, sure, on the table.
Halloween for Thriller?
Is there anything here for JANET Jackson? Sam Jackson?
Jesse Jackson could get you to Washington. He ran for President.
Is there any other Jackson we haven't mentioned yet? Jackson is such a common name.
It's not fps, it's codenames 101.
I think Washington might be our best 3rd guess. It has Canada equity, but I'm not sure it's enough for us to not guess it. Everything else just kinda sucks.
He didn't really break dance did he?
I don't think King is a sure thing for them at all, but I see your point.
I'll throw out some love for Alien. MJ was kinda weird looking.
I'm okay with bolding Pop and Foot.
Alien Ant Farm also covered Smooth Criminal. But once again, reds will be guessing that anyway.
Pop
Foot
Washington
Is where I'm at. He could've just clued MJ if he didn't want to bring other Jacksons into the mix.
Pop
Foot
Both blue
I dunno. Kinda feel like passing.
Seems like all of our options have various degrees of Canada equity. We're not forced to guess here.
I think it's Washington, but I'd believe Halloween.
I don't think either of those have high Canada equity.
I think Washington has a lot of Canada equity.
I understand the argument for not guessing King, but I think Washington is equal in that regard.
Meh on Halloween here. It's possible, but I don't want to guess something just to guess it.
A King is a Canadian thing. Washington is something next to Canada in some way.
Right now we're up 2-0. Even if they nail the 5 next round, we're probably doing okay.
I doubt this guess is make or break. I'd rather try, but I'm okay with passing.
And it's the capital of its big brother country.
The state angle has me more open to passing than I otherwise would be. 😀
