0 plainglazed Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 One-upmanship? Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. Been here but that work thing just keeps getting in the way of my riddling. Care to write a note to my boss? Your answer is not what you will need for the finale.

0 plainglazed Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Dower/dour? Tocher/Touch? Or maybe something as simple as invitation? Meet? Not any of those, sorry. I tried a little google/wiki magic myself. The reference in the first line may be more obscure than I thought. If you know the kind of brothers I'm refering to, you may find it by search engine. The second line could be enough to get the word (oops). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 DudleyDude Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Pin I know that there are fraternity pins and I've recently (thank you google) read that when a brother would give his fraternity pin to a girl it is often a precursor to an engagement ring. I don't know much about grappling, but they people involved are trying to pin each other and I can imagine "shouldering" being a method to achieve that.

Again, you'll need to fix the tense to make it work for you when combining for the final answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to head home. Will be back in a little while. This may go quickly, just cant tell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I can think of as to why it wouldn't work is PG's remarks about tenses. Swear, Skill and Spin would work as well as Sworn, Skilled and Spinning. But that's a lot better than anything I've come up with so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome catch, Darth. The only thing I can think of as to why it wouldn't work is PG's remarks about tenses. Swear, Skill and Spin would work as well as Sworn, Skilled and Spinning. But that's a lot better than anything I've come up with so far. DN's catch is correct but still work to be done to get the final answer. The intended tense should (hopefully) make the final answer more apparent is what I was trying to say before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Sire is an old word, and when you pair it up with sworn and story, I start thinking old knight's tales, or fairy tales. Spinning makes me think... Sleeping Beauty? She's the one that pricked her finger sewing, right? Or maybe something simpler, like apprentice? Oh, right. I keep forgetting about the importance of tenses. Sworn, skilled (adjective), spinning... and scorn (verb or noun) This is a story about a skilled sire sworn to keep spinning, out of scorn. Riiiiight. Random guesses: storm? Sordid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
