Errrr…Beware of Doug? It’s been 23 hours, so I’m going to go ahead & post a new one, because I think “out” probably qualifies even if it isn’t as clever as the intended answer.
New one:
Hill, club, pound.
Good try all. The word I was thinking of was built.
Overbuilt = stronger than it needs to be; stickbuilt = a wood-frame structure that is not prefab; scratchbuilt = anything made from raw materials.
Yes, wheel was correct.
Foot.
Bear, Jet, Globe.
Well, that was quick…
I’ll try harder next time.
(Mwahahahahaa!)
I wouldn’t have gotten it had pound not been last. “Footpound?” I asked myself. “What the hell is a footpound?”
Stupid Imperial units…
Only thing I can think of for globe is “master” - Globemaster cargo plane…
Not to give things away, but:
Golden Bear – Jack Nicklaus
Golden Jet – Bobby Hull
Golden Globe – Award
Penny, Fast, Patty
never mind
Penny Lane
Fast Lane
Patty Lane (I googled this and it was Patty Duke’s character’s name on The Patty Duke Show.) Is there another Patty Lane?
an easy one:
hawk
corner
hello
Lane?
Cat, Bowling, Oop.
ETA: Sorry, didn’t see you added one Dolores, and replied. :o
Kitty.
How about:
off, poor, plate
Alley.
And I won’t post another since we’ve already got one.
Got a good one here…lots of 2-out-of-3s (piss off/piss poor; off book/bookplate)…probably only one 3-out-of-3 and I ain’t hit on it yet.
work off, plate work … working poor?
So as not to scuttle the thread, I’m going to give the answer here, because I’ve come to think my submission was a little unfair. The answer is “face,” but I now realize that the the phrase “poor face” is a bit iffy. It’s not nearly as common as its derivative, “po-face.”
I’ll give another one that I hope is better:
cats, pink, ball
Eye.
Treasure, Hope, Pain
There might be, but Cathy’s identical cousin was indeed the character I was thinking of.
Treasure chest, hope chest, chest pain.
Brakes, dead, pocket
Chest.
light, jam, heavy.
