Re: Codenames
Right. But "Black & White" as far as I know isn't a proper noun, nor does it seem like it was used as one.

I agree, our team was in error. Certainly not intentional, but in error none the less. Sorry about that.

Re: Codenames
I don't think anyone on the blue team would argue that Black & White is within the bounds of the rule, single words or mulit-word proper nouns. But erimir's post raises the question of compound words like ice cream. It's not a proper noun, but it's a two-word noun. But it's just kind of arbitrary that ice cream is 2 words but yardstick is one.
I fucking love all the deep-learnin and thinkin I get on the old  You're just playing a game and then it's like "here's a linguist to blow your mind"
P.S. also not arguing that Black & White would fit in there, either. Just off on a tangent.

Re: Codenames
You left off our correct guess of Radio.
For hair I would say bald is the most obvious pick. Hair extensions are a thing, so extension would be my second pick.

Fyi, either clue giver, regardless team, or the GM can say if a guess is correct or not.

Re: Codenames
We've got nothing to go on now, but the red team are only three words away from winning.
If we guess blindly we have a 1/13 chance of hitting the killer word, a 3/13 chance of helping the red team, a 4/13 chance of helping ourselves or 5/13 chance of getting a a neutral word (which I suppose would also help the red team slightly). I think we should pass. Jerome? E.S.?
