A little setup for the Password-impaired. When giving clues in Password, you can convey some extra information by modifying your inflection. For example, drawing out one of the sounds and stretching the word's pronunciation(e.g. "Cowwwwwwwwwwwwch...") means "The password is a word that commonly follows COUCH".
So we're playing Password. It's my turn to give clues first. I peek at the password, think about if for a couple of seconds, and come up with a money clue for which there is only one possible answer-- if my partner is geeky enough to get the reference. Knowing his television viewing habits, I decide to go for it.
My clue: "Picarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd..."
My partner looks at me quizzically, asks me to repeat it, and then gives me the correct answer. And as it turned out, both of our opponents also knew it. Even sweeter, it was the last clue of the game and sealed our victory, 11-9. A very satisfying finish.
