[quote name=\'MikeK\' post=\'171224\' date=\'Dec 3 2007, 03:19 PM\']If you mean mohel, that's a so-so clue for circumsize. Otherwise, it's a desperation clue which could easily confuse your partner.[/quote]But "penis-chopper" is hyphenated, so that's out...
On to my real point: on the older versions, would a non-sensical clue such as "mohel" garner a buzz, or was it just the Winner's Circle where clues had to be logical?

Just Winners' Circle, where the clues had to be something that did, indeed, fit the subject. Password's original penalty was just a severe look from Ludden, which is worse than it sounds. On Super Password's Cashword, though, the third clue was often a rhyme--totally legal, except that you couldn't say it was a rhyme. And it had to be a real word, not "burkumthighs."
