well it wasn't allowed, pity that but it is very niche.
there was a similar category on the old football hangman game called Fruitchat Whingers, that was back in the day when i was called Unknown Pseudonym.
the old C&R game has TKA and Demmerz in the graffiti too, but it is rare to see a nod to us these days, although there are a few cardinal Richelieu answers.

i'm yet to see the question:
what might a Hungarian say after she has stubbed her toe?
A. good grief
B. crivens
C. Istenem
nobody ever wins on those things.

I've been asked the meaning of Istenem before, and also saw a question the other day with your real name as one of the wrong answers...

bingo lingo could work well too.
you have the obvious ones like CLICKEY-CLICK, LEGS ELEVEN, TWO FAT LADIES etc. but each number has at least one signature: some of the more obscure ones include
WAS SHE WORTH IT?
DIRTY GERTIE
ETHEL'S EAR
GANDHI'S BREAKFAST ( 80 )
THE LORDS IS MY SHEPHERD
TOM NIX
DANNY LA RUE
OFTEN BEEN KISSED
etc. etc.

I prefer Hex Appeal. More time and the bonus isn't rigged later on in the game.

Hex is okay but take away the make-up and you are just playing hangman with a load of boring categories. PMP has a certain amount of wit.

Yes agreed, but so many times this has paid for the drinks and more when doing a fruit.

but you should know those anyway. perhaps except F1 which is niche (and imo, dull).
