The other day I was a "contestant" during a Lingo run-through. We know Chuck may be a little rusty with more than a year since the last Lingo tapings, so they're doing rehearsals. It was my teammate's turn to start the next puzzle with an N as the starter letter. Her guess was "nouns", and the N's and the S turned orange. It was my turn, but I couldn't come up with a word, so at the buzzer I blurted out, "neans, N-E-A-N-S". Chuck gave me a weird look and said, "I don't think that's a word." I said, "Well, at least it uses the N's." Chuck said, "The N's don't justify the 'neans.'"
