So, Jeopardy last night

[tlynn78]

Was anyone else bothered by the accepted winning answer?

[BackInTex]

Yeah, I don’t think that word (term) means what they think it means.

[tlynn78]

Yeah, I don’t think that word (term) means what they think it means.

The big kahuna one?

[BackInTex]

Yeah, I don’t think that word (term) means what they think it means.

The big kahuna one?

Yes. Though I misinterpreted the answer. I thought is was "...commonly used to described any dominat person or expert". I was thinging GOAT or something like that. According to the J! websited the term origiantes from Hawaiian referring to an expert in any field. I, and I assume many others use it more as "The Bossman". But that may just be my ingorance of the term.

My issue was more pedantic (shocker, I know)

The question, if I remember correctly, asked for the ...two word term... The player awarded the win answered "What is THE Big Kahuna" - three words. Persnickity, I know, but I feel like I've seen people lose for less.

Just to be argumentative, I think the player wrote "What is the Big Kahuna?" with the "the" being the definate article, not part of the noun (two word phrase).

I know, but it (3 words) came after "what is" Pedantic, I know.

Maybe if you sobered up a bit, you'd understand.

I believe that "the" is optional in J! questions.

[tlynn78]

I guess, but I don't have to like it.
