That is a very mean charades title. Tom Send a noteboard - 17/02/2010 01:11:05 PM
However, I would expect people to get it (if they have heard of the book - some people are uncultured ;) ) if you do "two words" "first word" and then get "Brothers". At the very worst, if you do "second word, first syllable" and get "car", they should get it.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
