[tickleshotel]

is there a G?

 

[milagros317]

D?
I suspect another proper name, like "Dayton axe," your last atrocity. 😛

I take no responsiblity for solving puzzles that contain a proper name.

 

[Xodlirv]

Now me, I smell a medical term like "hemolytic streptococci".

Y?

 

[Ronley]

V?

Once again, Ronley is the only correct guesser. 😀

P.S. It's my puzzle, so there. 😛

 

[milagros317]

vesica piscis? 😀

(I looked in an online medical dictionary; Xodlirv was correct, it is a medical term.)

 

[Xodlirv]

Maybe in future we should limit these puzzles to things the average person is likely to encounter in their lifetime.

 

[milagros317]

Or at least to things that can be found in an unabridged dictionary. Ordinary dictionary, that is, not medical or other specialized dictionary. 😛

vesica piscis? 😀

(I looked in an online medical dictionary; Xodlirv was correct, it is a medical term.)

Your guess is correct, Mils. However, it's a mathematical term, not a medical one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesica_piscis 😀

I suppose I should've used its English translation of "fish bladder" instead of the original Latin word. Sorry about that. 😛

Your puzzle, Mils.

 

[milagros317]

Thanks for the link, I didn't know it had a mathematical meaning. 😀
I did find it in a medical dictionary:

New game:

R?

 

[Xodlirv]

An abundance of A, amigo?

And Alex, I was just kidding. All's fair in love, war and Hangman (and this is two out of three)!

 

[Tickler Bart]

Is there a T in there ?

Actually, I think you made a good point. My last two puzzles have been rather difficult to solve. 😛 You were also half-right: Vesica, by itself, is a medical term. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/vesica 😀

Back to the current puzzle: S?

 

[tickleshotel]

[milagros317]

One A and one S, but no R, no T, and no M. 😀
