Great game! Thanks **Rebo**! And zucchini makes for a delicious weed. Fried, sauteed, grilled, breaded or a bread. ---

I just lumped all green type growing things together. It’s hard to know where to divide the line. Take the dumb question I asked about where teens often go in scary movies! What was I thinking? Too many diverse answers make the Feudmaster sad. ---

Or for another example, one might argue that “washing the car” and “cleaning the house” should clearly be considered two different answers… but “cleaning” was also one of the answers, which clearly matches at least one of those two. Which one? Which @Rebo resolved by lumping both together under “Chores/cleaning”. ---

I said “cleaning” to be more general than “wash the dishes,” “clean up your room,” or “vacuum.” Not that it helped… ---

At least I finished in the top half, albeit barely. Thanks for this “blast from the past”, **Rebo**! ---

The one about the dog really threw me. Because how can you decide what is most commonly unexpected? Its an oxymoron in question form. (note that I’m not complaining, I thought it was a brilliant twist). ---

Not my best showing. I missed erection and leash. I honestly thought people might be prudish around erection. My predictive text is! ---

And I didn’t even think of “erection”. My thought process was “Well, obviously there’s “selection”, and… um… What else? Can’t think of anything, guess that’ll be the conch”. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > And I didn’t even think of “erection”. Whereas, the word “election” always reminds me of one of Gilda Radner’s “Emily Litella” sketches on the original SNL: “What’s all this I keep hearing about flea erections in China??” ---

We have two international soccer tournaments going on right now, and the word “selection” is often used in the context of soccer rosters to talk about players being “available for selection”, i.e. in the set of players that can play in a given match. In fact, Brazil’s national team is called “La Selecao” (modulo a couple of accent marks), although a nonliteral translation from Portugese woud be more like “Squad” or “Team”. So when I saw that first question, I was primed, as it were, for “Selection” to be my answer. Thanks UEFA and CONMEBOL! ---

My second second place. Another set of steak knives! ---

> [@Larry\_Borgia](#): > > I honestly thought people might be prudish around erection. I thought a lot of people would hesitate and think of something else. But I figured the other choices would be split up and the people who went with erection might put it ahead. I didn’t anticipate it would be a conch. As the bishop said “You motherfuckers are my kind of people.” ---

Just to clarify the scoring … two points for each match, so anyone who said “erection” for question #1 scored 60 points (30 matches times two), whoever said “selection” scored 18 points (9 times 2) … but anyone who had a unique answer scored zero, since they didn’t match anyone, correct? _ **-“BB”-** _ ---

That’s correct. Another good game, thanks @Rebo! Interestingly, I got one more top answer than the winner, but missing “janitor” really hurt my final score. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lets-play-a-feud-its-complete/1003370.md?page=4)
