It's a chestnut that FDR was the first president to appear on television, so I figured he must be the trap response and went one president later. I unfortunately reasoned the reverse way, thinking that Truman was probably the negbait since TV was pretty well established in households by the late fo...

WHAT AN IDIOM! for $200: "It doesn't affect me adversely, so it's "No skin" from here". Accepted response: "off my nose". My response: "off my back". I assume this is just a regional difference? I'd think so. I'd also imagine that "commissioning" would be an acceptable alternative response for "pro...

My darn emotional support chicken cost me a perfecto for the week. At least I know what's on the dinner table tomorrow night.

It took me a beat to come up with the literal translation of “cul-de-sac” and I needed another minute to come up with “Bag End” The pangolin is one of my favorite animals! And it may not be well known, but pangolins can be found on Cul de Sac.... https://www.gocomics.com/culdesac/2010/09/13 https:/...

Your "intermittent ghost the twelvefootboy" routine is working perfectly :lol:. You may want to tweak the sensitivity as several of my posts are getting through. It may be managed by the same software company that supports the Kevin Detector on our local traffic light system. There were two or thre...

I've always understood the rule on Jeopardy to be that you are not penalized if you fix a grammatical error for example by changing Singin to singing but you are in trouble if you drop a g, such as changing Waiting for Godot to Waitin' for Godot. Heaven Help me if I ever get on the show and Final J...

:( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: Went with Egypt as one of the two countries; knew India had a small percentage but didn't calculate that the small percentage of a huge population would be that big. Blanked on Mary Poppins and went down the My Fair Lady path. No clue on the...

BEFORE & AFTER $1200: Current slang term for a scornful glance at the optometrist’s test for visual acuity Waseem: Slant eye exam. What is slant eye exam? :o Dewi then had to rebound with the correct side eye exam. I had evil eye test which is probably acceptable. FWIW, I have heard "evil eye" and ...

BEFORE & AFTER $1200: Current slang term for a scornful glance at the optometrist’s test for visual acuity The FJ! clue had me swing a miss as I did 1964 to My Fair Lady and wrote Rex Harrison. Fortunately, that was only one strike and as soon as I finished writing I knew who to switch to for a sur...

Dang. Guess when I walk "this way," I gotta stop doing it like an Egyptian.....

Have not seen Moana, and even though it occurred to me I dismissed it thinking it was an older movie.

I joined the group associating the cherry tree legend with Washington Irving.

Mick Mulvaney is out as White House Acting Chief of Staff, after serving as "acting" for just over a year. Mark Meadows, a North Carolina congressman, will become the 4th Chief of Staff in the Trump tenure.

The director of the 2017 film Thor: Ragnarok , Taika Waititi, is half Maori, not Tahitian. New Zealand is one-third the width of the Pacific away from Tahiti (seven and a half hours by air), but since it's still probably the closest major land mass, and Maori and Tahitians had common Polynesian anc...

OK, judges: granting that "fallacious" was the desired response, I came up with "specious". Close enough?

Had the same answer, so I'm on your side.

Contestants can hear the airdate when Johnny reads the slate. I think they are given the air dates when they get the call because I know Wheel does that. When I got the call, Lauri said the episodes taped on my day would air "the week of XXX". Since the exact show is a random draw on taping day, th...

Had no idea Angkor Wat was associated with Vishnu, but "large religious complex abandoned six hundred years ago" was prett...

I can understand the hesitancy with the DD3 bet - I don't know how much time they give you to think up DD wagers, but I can't imagine they give you a full minute and give you a piece of paper and a Sharpie to come up with your wager for a DD bet, even if it is the last clue of the game. (I've heard...

... and stupidly said TikTok for Twitch. I said the same thing, so I can't call it a stupid response. I don't do social media and am completely unfamiliar with Twitch (notice I resisted the temptation to say NHO Twitch - though I don't think I have). But a twitch can equal a tic, and social media i...

In line with alietr's recommendation for responding to TPH, this is not directed at him, but simply may be helpful for future references to the same topics for someone who missed the same questions without whining about it. Cognac = brandy seemed very YEKIOYD for the top box. I hate alcohol categori...

The night visitors will have something to say about Amal’s negs as well as her DJ and FJ wagers. :roll: I see what you did there, but it’s Amahl for Menotti No shit. But considering Jeopardy doesn’t penalize for spelling so long as it’s phonetically correct...... ;) You might have missed some wordp...
