charged - 4

I'm reading this as avoiding cover and going for battery/lawyer, possibly capital

Could see horseshoe also and still need at least one sports word

Not sure what you saw with hangover

Could also see the interpretation of hitting cover and avoiding lawyer 😆

Battery should be fine at least!

Buck was what I saw for Hangover (for buck's party), which also works for charged. Could it be a sports word too?

Buck
Battery
Lawyer
...something

I think he's avoiding cover.

Is buck's party the british/aussie version of bachelor party?

i guess buck could be a sports word. there is an nba team called the bucks

or could be money related

i was discounting it since xander is british. was also discounting other american sports connections like band and didn't want a nich-like list of 15 words

Oh have you not heard that term before? I never really thought about it, but maybe it is just an Aussie thing. I feel less good about it now, but not sure what else it could be.

Band - probably not
Battery - yes
Beach - no
Buck - sure
Capital - maybe
Cover - no
Helicopter - no
Horseshoe - maybe
Lawyer - sure
Life - no
Missile - no
Washer - uses electricity
Worm - no

Well we don't have that here, but we are all familiar with the term.

nope, never

kinda like horn for chubby or whatever (but i think it could have been xander who popped in after the game saying he knew horn)

I guess capital hits charged the hardest of the words remaining, and it does kinda work in a couple of ways.

Yeah, British/Aussie slang does overlap a bit, though pretty sure they call them stag parties now that I think of it.

i also have no idea what the hangover word could be, so we prob just have to go with it. life was our backup so it's not that

i was trying to think of drinking words, but all i see is cover/beach

In any case, I think buck/battery/lawyer are all unavoidable, so maybe we start with them and can discuss final word if still alive?

Maybe leave a list of capital/horseshoe in case we bust.

yup

Battery
Buck
Lawyer

Capital
Horseshoe

Red x3

nice

i feel like i never guess the last word correctly in these situations where there is so much ambiguity, but i'm leaning capital

Capital is where I'm leaning too. It certainly hits charged better, just a matter of if we think buck was a sports word or not.

Though you could prolly clue charger to hit those 3 + horseshoe better, so yeah I'm good to roll with capital I think.

i don't think sports should be much of a factor anyway. capital hits just as hard as buck

or he could have been going for sports betting and it's those two + casino (and not film)

we were clearly not on his wavelength there, so that could be another point against horseshoe, lol

you should bold it tho

Gl us

capital
