0 Guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Spoiler for I like tiger lilies answer but could it be...: While I guess your answer fits the riddle, it wasn't what I was looking for. There's something subtle in the riddle that will give you my answer. Obviously I didn't spend much time on this one, so I apologize for leaving it so wide open.

0 Guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 tether Good guess. And it fits right in with hugemonkey's as being totally legitimate, but it isn't the answer I was looking for. I should have spent a little more time thinking about how many things are nouns and verbs that can perform the same task. a Hole?

Guest
The truth is, I’m both verb and noun
And have uses, like help hold down
