$25K: I've never seen that word before in my life. I'll ATA first and see if they have a clue. PAF if their answer is not definitive.
$50K: No clue, and I doubt if this is Googleable. Switch it.
Best case scenario is that I'll be playing for $100,000 with 50:50 and PAF remaining.

I've never heard this word, either. I thought the root was "audio"--something about sound? But none of the choices seemed related to that.BBTranscriptTeam wrote: $25,000

Merriam-Webster says I was wrong about that hunch.
What does a purse have to do with mincing?Main Entry: min·au·dière
Pronunciation: \ˌmē-nōd-ˈyer\
Function: noun
Etymology: French, feminine of minaudier affected, coquettish, from minauder to mince
Date: 1940
: a small decorative case for carrying small articles (as cosmetics or jewelry)

That is not an obscure yiddish word.

Depends on how good you are at Googling. [robert de niro "claims to be related to"] gets it in one, right at the top.NellyLunatic1980 wrote:$25K: I've never seen that word before in my life. I'll ATA first and see if they have a clue. PAF if their answer is not definitive.

No, but it's not used all that much, either. My understanding of the word has always been pleasantly plump in a specific manner, i.e., buxom. There should be a photo of Mamie Van Doren or early Bette Midler next to the definition. Maybe Dolly Parton, too.peacock2121 wrote:Maybe - but 44% of them?MarleysGh0st wrote:Even though Meredith always calls it the "New York audience," they're not all from the city.

Whatever he does, looking at the $100K question with the STQ left isn't bad, considering the recent string of players. Would be nice to see someone to make it to the $500K question.MarleysGh0st wrote:Kyle's local newpaper gives his carryover appearance one more line of publicity.

Isn't Kyle afraid that John will lose his man card for knowing the answer? As for me, I have no idea, so it's time to use a lifeline. I don't know if the audience would know this, so it's probably time to PAF.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$25,000

I would have gone with ATA on this one, although I suspect the percentages would have been close between B and D. Depending upon the outcome, I'd go with the 50/50 and hope that B and D weren't the two remaining answers.
