That's two words!

The Ol' Guy:
..so I can't use the senility excuse? :-)

Jay Temple:
[quote name=\'GS Warehouse\' date=\'Nov 18 2003, 10:18 PM\'] And Ol' Guy, don't forget the ultimate evil category:

WORDS THAT RHYME WITH "ORANGE"! [/quote]
 Lunge
Grunge

Matt Ottinger:
Regional dialects (or just lazy pronunciation) notwithstanding, "lange" and "grange" would theoretically rhyme with "orange", not "lunge" and "grunge".

[quote name=\'The Ol' Guy\' date=\'Nov 18 2003, 11:00 PM\']If you're still working on the idea - here are six evil categories you would hate to have to guess or give clues to - starting from bottom left box-

1) Odd numbers between 1 and 307
2) Things not found in a bucket
3) Hit Tim Conway TV Shows -or- names of Seinfeld episodes
4) Words that can be spelled two ways (hire, higher)
5) Names of Miss America Runner-Ups
and the biggie at the top:
6) Middle Initials


and for the crude laugh, you could always go with - Things A Person with Tourette's Syndrome might say.[/quote]
Not to mention a ridiculous category that Dick once threw out on the show--Things That Taste Like Lima Beans.

Back when GS-L was more active, when I tried to use Variety headline-ese in a post and caled a "Pyramid" variant "$100G Pyramid" (as in 100 grand), somebody pointed out that in actual numberical abbreviations (like "K," "M," "B") "G" would be an obscenely huge number.  Someone else then came up with a possible Winner's Circle for that mega-heavy coin (to use more Variety-ese)--one of them I remember being Extras in the Chariot Scene in "Ben Hur."
