I believe the only time I've seen "phial" was in the Lord of the Rings (phial of Galadriel).
In context, I thought "Bronte" would not have been enough, "clerk" was enough, and "Hepburn" should have been BMSed.
I knew exactly what FJ! was going for, but my brain wouldn't produce it. "Frederick the Great of..."

"Phial" seems to the British spelling. I remember it being used in several Sherlock Holmes tales, and there's a Lord Darcy short story where it's part of the title in "The Ipswitch Phial" (even though author Randall Garrett is American).Linear Gnome wrote: ↑Tue Jun 02, 2020 1:17 pm I believe the only time I've seen "phial" was in the Lord of the Rings (phial of Galadriel).
I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.

I sat in the gallery for an evening of the impeachment trial, so I certainly wasn't going to miss the 'managers' question.

Prussia in history map place in today territory Poland (Warmia-Mazuria and next time in Pomerania, Great Poland and Silesia) and Kaliningrad Oblast - part of Russia.Volante wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 10:45 pmAnd I pronounced it right this time!MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 11:25 am The contestants were not ready to name the Confederate sub and a 2016 FJ! clue about it polled at 24%.

Hepburn should have, but I disagree on clerk since you were spotted 'Justice' in the clue. If you clerk for a justice in the US, you're a SCOTUS clerk (or too obscure to be asked about on J!

The largest bit had me thinking Prussia really hard but it didn't seem to click until I realized what when they meant by eliminating it, it's now where Poland is.
