Make it five who'd never heard that meaning of "peach", except perhaps for the first time I saw this episode.
I'm smart and I want respect.

No guess on FJ! I've only heard that term a couple times, and thus never knew it was hyphenated.

"Twinkle, Twinkle" is also an excellent song by Margo Price.
Cathy hasn't gotten in once...
And right as I type that she finally does
I probably would have said "What is the DRC?" just out of habit, and then felt like an idiot
I'm giving myself credit for tableau, I don't care that they didn't
The camera angle makes it easy enough to read the gravemarker, even if you didn't know it, even if you didn't recall the end of the film, etc.
Density is way overvalued at $2000
Coryat: $33,600
J: 27R3P. Got DD. 5/5 on States, Presidents, Sounds, and Star. 4/5 on SNL.
DJ: 17R (including "tableau") 13P. Absolutely atrocious. 1/2 on DDs. 5/5 on Vowels (again, with "tableau"). 1/5 on Hitmakers and Fruit.
FJ: Got it about halfway through, finally got it from Pooh
LT: purred, peach

I have literally never seen "Grand Poobah" hyphenated before, and some quick Googling suggests that it's not supposed to be.

It's hyphenated in the libretto to the Gilbert & Sullivan operetta, but I agree the clue can seem slightly misleading--kind of like asking for a hyphenated book title when you're looking for Moby-Dick. I think the clue would be cleaner without the word "hyphenated."TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 9:47 pm I have literally never seen "Grand Poobah" hyphenated before, and some quick Googling suggests that it's not supposed to be.
On the other hand, Milne mapped so strongly to Pooh that this was an easy solve for me.

Which is, of course, exactly how the clue works.opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 10:37 pm

Both Merriam-Webster and the OED list Pooh-Bah with a hyphen. (For whatever reason, M-W doesn't capitalize it.) The OED secondarily lists it both with an open space and as one word. Its most recent citation, from 1994, has the hyphen.

Ben's interview story brought to mind some research I had done before a European trip a few years back. One commentator called the Czech diet a cardiologist's nightmare. Two favored items were fried cheese and fried cheese on a stick.
I did order the fried cheese sans stick just once for lunch.

I didn't process "Milne" at all, and even if I did, it wouldn't have been enough given how seldom "grand poobah" comes across my radar.opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 10:37 pm On the other hand, Milne mapped so strongly to Pooh that this was an easy solve for me.

Re: Monday, November 23, 2009 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Sounds like there wasn't a path to victory for you on this one, hyphen or no hyphen. Might be worth polling this week. Something like "The word 'hyphenated' in Monday's FJ (may have) steered me away from the right response". It may turn out that those of us who took the Milne route weren't going to be deterred by "hyphenated" and those who tried to take another route were pretty much up a creek anyway.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 5:10 pmI didn't process "Milne" at all, and even if I did, it wouldn't have been enough given how seldom "grand poobah" comes across my radar.opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 10:37 pm On the other hand, Milne mapped so strongly to Pooh that this was an easy solve for me.

Othello shout out from a couple weeks ago! The Welles version does have the green-eyed monster line, but he cut beast with two backs.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

I got Winnie the Pooh but didn’t make the leap to Pooh-bah.
Botswana seemed way undervalued at $200 compared to the other clues.
