Question

Similar to "Bought, Won, Caught, and Eaten"

I am served, and a server. I am a proportion.

I am attractive, and yet I am not quite your thing.

I am a receptacle and a receiver.

A pass, a painful indentation, and a shape.

I am who you run to, and what you talk about.

I can share or inflict, produce or present.

What am I?

A cup? You can serve a cup of something, or someone can pour a cup. A cup is a measurement of liquid. Not sure how it's attractive. But it recieves and you can put things in it. Not sure how it would be a pass, but you can cup someones ears, or you can make someones bone cup by crushing it or you can make your hand into a cup. You run for the cup when you're in a race. You talk about cups, like the world cup, etc. You can use a cup to put things in and share it by passing it around, you can cup your hand to cause pain, you can present things in a cup. How's that? It seems to fit best.

I agree. Also

"Not quite your thing" - not your cup of tea

I agree. Also

Yes, cup is very close, but, as jsahni pointed out, it doesn't quite fit with some of the lines.

Yoruichi-san had a good idea about "cup of tea," so here's my hint:

what other phrase(s) mean the same thing?

Well now that the Sans pointed out breasts as cups and not your cup of tea, I think it fits with everything. Inflicting is like the cup of your hand because it hurts to get slapped! But I'll try to think of an alternative answer.

I am served, and a server. I am a proportion. (A shot is all these things)

I am attractive, and yet I am not quite your thing. (It\'s fun sometimes, but it\'s not for everyone)

I am a receptacle and a receiver. (you pour the alc into it)

A pass, a painful indentation, and a shape. (a pass, like taking the shot? a painful taste, and the shot is usually the same shape)

I am who you run to, and what you talk about. (if you\'re an alki...)

I can share or inflict, produce or present. (alc can inflict pain, produce or present things that you wouldn\'t normally do)

shot is very creative, but cup was still closest.

think of something similar (akaslickster was on the right track) which would fit the otr lines (think of multiple definitions for 1 word).
