Let's just say I like your comment :-) They need to have us like comments, seriously! I see a great comment, and no one can like it, at least not in their mind...

The color for salmon looks much closer to tuna, at least before it's cooked.

Farmed salmon are often not pink unless they are dyed. Wild salmon is pink both raw and cooked - like wild mountain trout.

The colour is called Salmon, there is no colour called Flamingo.

Agreed, I tried that first, and then coral (which it replaced with salmon)

I tried flamingo too. And I'd disagree with salmon -- salmon has more orange in it. But there is a species of salmon called "pink".

Another pink color that's an animal would be coral.

While salmon is much more animaly, I guess I can allow coral now as well.

Hmmm...tried something a little less PG for cowardly. Let's just say...a slang word for cat. I'm not surprised it didn't work.

Had no idea what a huge-bet-maker was called. Just started guessing. Whale. Weird.

probably cause big spenders in games are called that aswell. Maybe you knew that and subliminal info seeped out.

Duck could use a better clue, like, "avoid"

Agreed. I kept thinking of bowing or being ashamed after reading the clue.

You can avoid something without ducking.

It took me a bit to get it, too. I was thinking of something prayerful or respectful. I think adding "quickly" to the clue would have helped.

I agree that just moving your head is not what seems to describe duck (imo..) when I think of duck I think of cowering down with you entire body, bending over, possibly bending your knees aswell (and ofcourse subconsciously putting your hands over your head ;) )

maybe: quickly move downward to avoid something.

Because like this it like ander says seems to indicate bowing (or nodding), or some sign of respect.

Some of these were really good! Can't believe I missed "duck." Don't think I've had enough coffee yet. However, I was wondering if the clue for "ram" needs to be specifically about ships. After all, I can ram into something with, say, a shopping cart, or a car, or whatever. My body. I was trying to think of a specifically nautical term. If no one else had problems with it, then never mind though!

same for me; eventually got there though

Agreed. Ramming into sometging does not immediately make me think of ships (on a collision course)

After several guesses I got "Whale" for gambler, but I've never heard of the expression. However, I've never visited a gambling establishment either. I tried 'elephan' 'rhino', 'hippo', 'giraffe', and finally 'whale'.

Couldn't get past 'stool pigeon' for police informant. Two words, I know, but once it's in there...

It's quite wholesome that more people know about bowling than gambling or heroin. I was not one of those people, unfortunately!
