That's 8 words and we need 7. So we just leave off hole and ship it?
wonder why suspender and not suspenders; not usually singular
but yeah, 2 suspender words (isn't cluing for just one word with that clue) and then our list in order
The singular makes me think he is maybe avoiding pants and we're supposed to guess puppet instead?
Marionettes?
Using the singular form has to be deliberate since nobody ever uses it that way, so I don't see this being the clue for belt+pants.
But marionettes have many points of contact don't they, not just one? Going singular wouldn't go there?
If it's suspender, not suspenders, to avoid pants, then it has to avoid belt as well, right?
If he clues suspenders, then we guess pants/belt 100% of the time. Pants is plural, so I would guess he's just trying to avoid us guessing that while still keeping belt in play with this clue. Could be wrong of course, but that's how I'm reading it.
Suspender is something that suspends
Over a hole or puppet makes sense
Hole is last one on our list so if it was for hole he woulda just done buckle - unlimited for just belt
With it being singular rather than plural, it’s likely not for pants; you’d never have just one suspender to hold up pants and suspenders is literally right there, so choosing to not plural means pants isn’t ours
I think this whole thing is really weird and feels FPSy to me. But if you're both dead sure do it.
I have a hard time imagining a spymaster thinking for sure they see I said suspender, not suspenders, so they don't go belt/pants.
That's too much of a fine line.
And then going straight to puppet?
Maybe suspension for belt/puppet. There are no car words on the board?
Well if you wanna bold up to belt we can debate the last word if still alive. I think we all agree on those?
There is a lot of nuance in this game, and I feel quite sure that insanity would not be so careless as to leave the s off the end by accident. It's not a fine line...it completely changes the clue. Would be like cluing "pant" for jeans + belt or something.
There are also other ways to hit pants+belt, whereas I can't really think of a better way to hit belt+puppet?
I think it'd be a really risky clue to do what you're saying. Maybe I'm all wet, but if I'm insanity I don't touch suspender with belt/pants on the board unless I'm really really desperate.
A suspender is a thing you clip to your pants in place of a belt. The fact that they're usually worn in pairs doesn't change that when you think of a suspender that's USUALLY what you think of.
What would you clue tho? It's clear he had some hard combos to clue for this game. Just before we got fungus for for microscope+shower even though he had to know that cheese would be guessed first.

When has anybody ever referred to suspenders in the singular?
