Wow, my worst performance yet. I knew I should have passed. Oh well, better next time. ---

No fur coat from Decker & Decker of Beverly Hills? Congratulations! Thanks everybody, and especially Dolores. Through these Feuds I am beginning to realize that I am really, really weird. Also, in an informal poll of EVERYONE I KNOW AND MEET, they all say “conch” too. Except the guy I have been dating recently. He said, “abalone.” He was suitably rewarded. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=brujaja] 😃 What? No fur coat from Decker & Decker of Beverly Hills? Congratulations! [/QUOTE] I’m a nitpicker – it’s [Dicker and Dicker.](http://www.dickeranddickerfurs.com/) (Porn film title idea: _Dick her & Dick her in Beverly Hills_, in which a game show contestant gets some _exceedingly_ lovely parting gifts!) **Eleanor** and **Freudian** : The whole point of the seashell question was that the person ( **brujaja** , I believe) who included it in a previous game thought that it would produce a variety of answers. Instead, _conch_ dominated, much to many **Feud** veterans’ continued amusement. ---

Thanks, **Sternvogel**. Even so. You know, I did think it might be Dicker & Dicker; I decided to opt for the possible risk of being wrong over the certain risk of penis ensues! 😃 (excellent idea, by the way.) **Freudian Slit:** No, hon, don’t worry. It’s not **you** – it’s **me.** I am **the only one** who didn’t say, “conch”, I believe. And I was debating whether I should say “cowrie”, or “scallop” because of Shell Oil. Conch never even crossed my mind. They’re _not from here_, and you only ever see them in movies with loincloth guys on desert islands. I guess they’re the most impressive. (they must be, since apparently they get blown a whole lot.) 🆒 ---

I’m probably still bottom anyway, but “Sterling” is of course the proper name for “British Pound”, and should have been counted with those. There’s also a (weaker) case for grouping my “flares” with “bell-bottoms”. I know, I’m desperate :). ---

[/QUOTE] Actually, here in the States, “flares” and “bell bottoms” have become separate styles, bells being close to what they were in the 70s, and flares being mostly straight, but flared enough at the bottom to be comfortably worn over boots [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-jumbular-grab-bag-melange-feud-closed/451762.md?page=4)
