Unlikely definition from urban dictionary: A douchebag who has little or no integrity and mainly like to hang with the opposite sex at a much younger age (mostly because they are naive). Best places to fine somebody like this would be Oklahoma or Southeast Alaska.

Holy Poopsicle! ROFL!

In my case, it's a character name from a Jack Vance novel.

BTW, if Lisa doesn't start a topic, I will. Except, now it can't be a Traz :(

I believe the first question is allowed to be "animal, vegetable, or mineral?" so, which?

Edit: if any.

Definitely not an animal or vegetable. A combination of minerals.

You're not asking Enigman, so I'll do.

I think Lisa knows that we're not ready to start guessing specifics. She was a questioner last game.

Further, a TV IS typically used daily.

I am interested in this thread, allow me to ask a question.

Is it found in water?
 
First game: Someone asked, "is it a tv?"

No. But this is not how you play. You need to keep narrowing the field, not make wild guesses.

I kinda thought it was a joke, like, a recurring question asked way to early?

In case it's not, optimal strategy for this game seems to me to be to wait until you can't think of anything else to offer a specific item. Or, if you're on q20, pick your best guess of what's left.

Of course, that's just how I'd play. Don't want to be a bully here, lol.

It's not typically found in water, but I guess there are circumstances where it could end up there.

TV :-p
 
Gad said:
Is it found in the kitchen?

It's not typically found in kitchens, but there could be circumstances where it would be found there.
 
I_am_learning said:
Is it an electrical or electronics device?

No it's not, and it has no electrical or electronic components.
