It's my understanding that "scherzo" is a noun indicating the music itself. The corresponding musical direction would be "scherzando." Yeah, I don't care for the clue either.A Wray wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 1:41 amThat was a bad clue. Here's the exact wording:
The clue sort of seems to pin the response to the marking of "Flight of the Bumblebee" -- except it doesn't, because that piece is marked "vivace," which is not 7 letters. So we're looking for any 7-letter word on a score that "means to play lively & fast." Your response of "scherzo" works, as does mine of "animato." I'm sure there are other possible responses.This 7-letter word on a musical score like "Flight Of The Bumblebee" means to play lively & fast

This is a false equivalence. Of course this clue would have to accept "baseball players", "bosox", and etc.. But, if "Jesus said the people of Boston.... X", then the answer is only "X".
I didn't realize the term "missionaries" was in the Bible, and this may be a point of contention amongst the Bible scholars.
And, I think the Bostonians have moved on . Now, if you want to say the people of Chicago are still living in 1985 because of this group...

I always find there’s very little correlation between what I think I know vs what I actually do know when it comes o FJ! categories (and even categories I general). I’ll see a category I’m traditionally weak in (ie geography), and BOOM, easy clue. Conversely, I’ll see a category that I should be good in (say, Broadway musicals), and whiff.mas3cf wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 7:53 amFor me, it would depend on the category...yclept wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 3:41 am Bruce played a strong overall game. He likely misunderstood the first DD clue, which is unfortunate but didn’t cost him a runaway.
I don’t care what players wager in runaway games. MacKenzie just took her money and ran to the next game. Bruce tried to add to his total. I would probably be more like MacKenzie while wishing I had the guts to be more like Bruce.
AFRICAN CAPITALS = time to max out my payday
STAGE TO SCREEN = wager zero, survive and advance
The one exception, of course, being OSCARS. In a regular round, movie categories are good for me - but in FJ, I’m toast. And I know this well in advance.

Re: Monday, March 2, 2020 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Your hypothetical clue isn't a direct quote from someone nor is there a TOM for the type of people...so, yes, I have problems with that clue but they're independent of the FJ.
If the quote comes from Jesus, it's not going to be referring to any specific Christian order either; that should rule out any proper noun. I just can't grok where the overthinking is coming from.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

I think by "familiar" they meant "informal", and not "commonly known". I had two years of college Spanish under my belt, and never made the connection between anda-le as being from andar, but it makes sense now.John Boy wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 1:12 pmOK, then.

It's not a word that would be in a Spanish dictionary; certain forms of Spanish verbs (infinitives, positive imperatives, and present participles) can have pronouns attached to them as direct and indirect objects, and that's just part of their grammar rather than a vocabulary thing.John Boy wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 1:12 pmOK, then.

When I was taking Spanish, those were referred to as separable verbs, where the pronoun was appended to the parent verb. I can't think of many other instances where the parent verb isn't a dictionary entry on its own, but that may just be my ignorance.seaborgium wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 3:25 pmIt's not a word that would be in a Spanish dictionary; certain forms of Spanish verbs (infinitives, positive imperatives, and present participles) can have pronouns attached to them as direct and indirect objects, and that's just part of their grammar rather than a vocabulary thing.John Boy wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 1:12 pmOK, then.

My Spanish memory is a little hazy, but I imagine it comes from the imperative form of "andar" (to walk), which would be anda-, plus the usted/formal "you" pronoun -le. So, the dictionary form of the verb would be "andar".Woof wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 5:53 pmWhen I was taking Spanish, those were referred to as separable verbs, where the pronoun was appended to the parent verb.

What the hell happened? Aaron was so strong on Thursday and Friday and today he and Mandy just got completely pummeled in the first half of the double jeopardy round and didn't do anything about it. By the time they came to life, if it wasn't already too late, they were competing against each other and no one was able to get to 50%. Shades of the innominate situation. Not that it would have mattered.
I think Mandy got robbed on no contest. That is what the plea is called in some states and it does have no in it.
Final Jeopardy just seemed too easy. I came up with missionaries and then thought can it really be that simple?

I'd rather cuddle then have sex. If you're into grammar, you'll understand.
