Bomb is Red

Ok, if it were me I think I'd do trip next. But I'm easy.

I like Dress more than Trip specifically because it was not Ruin(s).

You can ruin your Figure.

Also a possibility, but I would put it behind Dress. I would be a coin flip between it and Trip if Dress were incorrect.

jotheonah · « **Reply #1054 on:** February 10, 2022, 12:10:08 pm »

I guess I just don't associate dress with ruin, like at all. Like sure you can ruin a dress, but you can also ruin a shed, a parachute, or a candle.

I suppose if we are going the ruin(s) route we could also consider Cross, like a Cross to mark a grave.

Shed, parachute & candle aren’t everyday items. Yeah, you *could* ruin them (although in most of those cases “destroy” or “break” would be words I would associate before “Ruin”), but a Dress, like Pants or a Shirt, can be ruined by spilling coffee or tea, or by ripping, or by getting muddy etc. “My [article of clothing] is ruined!” is a pretty common thing to hear. “My shed/candle/parachute is ruined!” isn’t really.

Jimm, I think you're the tie-breaker here. Dress or Trip.

WestCoastDidds · « **Reply #1057 on:** February 12, 2022, 08:11:16 pm »

Should I give Jim a nudge?

Swowl · « **Reply #1058 on:** February 12, 2022, 09:22:26 pm »

yeah probably

Jimmmmm · « **Reply #1059 on:** February 12, 2022, 10:35:52 pm »

I don't love either option, or any other.

I'll take Galz' point that Ruin without an s is typically a verb, and it's not uncommon to talk about ruining clothing, particularly nice clothing. I also feel like Bomb and Dress are more difficult to connect than Bomb and Trip. Dress

Dress is red

Oh, yes! Definitely! 3/13 chance of randomly guessing correctly! 4/13 of guessing one of theirs, and 1/13 of hitting Assassin… and even if we follow logic that suggests there’s no association to “Meat” or “Ruin” in our remaining words, and balance that against the Assassin likely having no connection to any of their words… we’re still not looking at great odds … with very little upside!

Pass

Skating: 2

scolapasta · « **Reply #1067 on:** February 13, 2022, 10:18:31 pm »

Well FIGURE, for sure.

Not sure after that.

Eevee · « **Reply #1068 on:** February 14, 2022, 06:52:58 am »

Could the other be roll, like roller skates?

scolapasta · « **Reply #1069 on:** February 14, 2022, 09:39:11 am »

That's not bad, probably better than the two i was considering (cross and Alps).

Swowl · « **Reply #1070 on:** February 14, 2022, 02:56:46 pm »

Again could be tripping
Figure seems solid
Roll also seems pretty good

Figure like for sure though

scolapasta · « **Reply #1071 on:** February 14, 2022, 03:02:22 pm »

FIGURE

scolapasta · « **Reply #1072 on:** February 14, 2022, 03:05:35 pm »

Unlikely but FINGER could also be for skating. I don't know if it's just from a movie (I can't recall which right now) or if it was a real fad - those little skateboards that you would "skate" with your fingers. Man, what was the movie? I want to say Napoleon Dynamite, but I don't think that's it. But it was a movie like that. I'll google it once we finish this round, for sure.

Thinking of skateboards too, I now like ROLL even more.

silverspawn · « **Reply #1073 on:** February 14, 2022, 03:09:41 pm »

Figure is blue

Eevee · « **Reply #1074 on:** February 14, 2022, 03:28:33 pm »

I had one of those finger skateboards as a kid, haha. But I think it's such a fringe thing it's an unlikely clue.

Roll seems to be our consensus
