I should have said Don Adams. Missed it by that much.

:smack:

I can’t *believe *I didn’t think of Denzel Washington.

And I can’t believe that here, of all places, Cecil Adams isn’t the conch. For shame! :smiley:

5 - The Rock
8 - I’m showing my age

I suspect, if I’m even in time, I shall be in the bottom 10

It goes back to a feud that involved different sea creatures - for mollusk, every player typed “conch” - so that’s now what we call an answer that is all but assured to be given by every player

Once upon a time, in the beginning of [del]time[/del] The Feud, there was a Question. The Question was, “Name a type of shell.”

The most popular answer was “conch.” It wasn’t quite a complete match of 50, but it was close.

Thereafter, an answer that has an inordinate amount of matches is called a “conch.”

ETA: **anyrose **beat me to it!

Huh, and here I was thinking it was short for “CONsensus CHoice”.

Ooh, we have our very first Feud Backronym! :smiley:

Huh…and I thought it was some sort of Lord Of The Flies reference.

I thought it was a typo for ‘cinch’ - on querty, the i and the o are right side by each. Sorta like when the kids say ‘teh’…

Ha! I found it.

The conch feud.

…and now I’ll get to scoring this one.
