When you guess an answer to a trio, you should use you own judgment about going ahead and posting the next trio. If you are confident, go ahead. (Sometimes trios have more than one solution - any that results in 3 common phrases should be accepted) Sometimes though, you’ll be confident that your answer works for 2 of the words, but think the 3rd one is iffy - just post your answer and await clarification from the person who listed the trio before posting the next puzzle.

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.

off, poor, plate

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.
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.”

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?
[/QUOTE]
There might be, but Cathy’s identical cousin was indeed the character I was thinking of.
