Seems it was (is?) a game

Proper noun ... not allowed!

I think it might be a chemical name. We need Pondy.

Very good Andy...a chemical or medication it may be.

No, not a proper noun...things have names: salt, sugar, chair, carbon, oxygen...etc. So do meds and chems....however, brand names ARE proper nouns.

For example:
aspirin = noun
Anacin = proper noun

Owzthat.
It is the name of a game like Cluedo or Buckaroo.
It is a proper noun.
If it were a noun it would be in a dictionary.

That is what I was referring to! ... and not your answer.

Good one. That'll work.

But I had benzthiazide in mind.

I just made it up!
Maybe we should steer clear of chemical
names unless really basic well-known ones?

I'll get the ball rolling again with ... (deep breath) ...

Fair enough.
I was actually interested to see if anyone might find an alternate word.

XYG?

Sounds medical. I'll ponder.
