NOT AN OFFICIAL QUESTION:
I think it’s something that’s typically used in more than one location inside the home but not at a workplace, like slippers, pjs, condoms.
It’s an object though… not a category of objects.
A condom does not get daily use. You might use condoms every day, but any given condom is (hopefully) only used one time before it is discarded.
A given pair of pajamas gets used more than a given condom, but still not daily. They’ll go in the wash. In most climates they’ll be out of season for a bit.
That’s why I’m thinking watch or glasses.
I wouldn’t put too much weight on that wording, FWIW.
Is there a way we can get a ruling on that?
I feel like it would be flat out wrong to say that a pajama top gets daily use, and it would certainly be inaccurate to claim that a condom gets daily use.
Anything that is one-time-use does not get daily use.
If my item was “a pickle”, and I put a pickle on my sandwich every day, I would have answered #9 “Yes”.
It’s actually been more difficult than I expected to be consistent. #9, #11 and #13 have caused me distress… and I’ve admitted that I probably screwed up #11.
I’m thinking this game tends to work best as a road trip game because in that situation neither party is in much of a position to overthink it.
True! Ok, thanks for the clarification.
So shoes, underwear, etc still on the table.
I’m wondering if it’s something related to actuarying in some fashion.
Like a pocket protector (nerd stereotype) or shoes (extroverted actuary looks at yours, not his own). Not an official question.
I think y’all have enough questions left to just ask outright if it’s shoes.
Well shoes go outside the house a lot (although not these days) so maybe slippers would be a better guess than shoes.
I’m the kind of board-gamer that touches the Codename’s word before the team has made a consensus, so I am bad for this thread.
Ask if it goes on your damn feet.
Official question, does it go on your foot/feet?
