I know, but it's not exactly a phrase that gets bandied about in everyday conversation.

The more I think about it the more I like note for the third, but I'd be comfortable passing after Tag/Ring.

Why not? Nothing wrong with getting a clue on the +1 after they've eliminated some choices for us.

Its the same concept behind early no lynches. It shouldnt happen.

The only exception to the always guess rule is if we dont have any options. If we have things it could be we guess until we run out or guess wrong.

I 100% disagree; if we aren't confident on an answer, especially this early, all guessing does is risk giving the other team a point or eliminating a word as a possibility for them, making sure that 1) they are more likely to get their own words, and 2) the opposing Cluemaster no longer has to work around that word when drawing up clues.

Thats the thing though, price club jumped out at me, and you are aware of it being a thing too. So why would you think it was outside the realm of possibility enough where youd want to pass and not guess the word that 2 of the 3 of us saw as a connection.

I think note it too far removed because you have note becomes bank note which is something you use to buy something with a price.

Crash talks about a market crash where you saw the price of stocks dropping.

Price club is a thing that has the clue word in the name of it.

Price tags are obvious.

The first question about any ring is what the price was.

It costs us nothing to get it on the rebound after we sweep the next clue. In the meantime it makes it harder for them to give clues by leaving more options on the board.

I'd say pass because I don't really think there's anything that obvious

We can always come back to this one next round when the PoE is a bit smaller

Plane, Bat, Honey.
The first 2 should be obvious, and I'm pretty sure there's some bug called a honey fly.

Agreed, let's also consider "shoe," as "shoo fly" is a common saying, and Charles may be playing with homophones.

TW if you're comfortable with Plane and Bat, pull the trigger.
