In the rules of the first slow game, I say it is OK to "look up the meanings of words" so this seems ok.

Other game is done obv.

I think if the opponents provide this information, there can be no problem whatsoever with the rules.

Of course, if we now lose the game, I will have to face the wrath of my teammates

Yes, for sure. I'm just saying it wouldn't have been totally out of line for him to Google it.

I agree. I believe it was ruled that researching the meaning of a word was ok when Gabe mentioned he might not fully understand *every* word due to English not being his 1st language. And I believe these games are following the rules of the original slow game, except for any explicitly mentioned differences.

I did not know we could google words.

Proper nouns in particular should never be allowed to be googled imo. Its part of the risk that your teammates get the reference.

I've no problem with Gabe googling English words he doesn't fully understand obviously.

I'm kinda with spurs here, thought we were making Gabe an exception rather than changing the rules.

But whatever I guess

Think it's got to be Step if he's a shoe designer and probably silk since he's a fashion guy

Is there such a thing as fashion school?

Is tower the word because it's stilettos which have heels like towers?

Models will march down the catwalk perhaps

People have an eye for fashion

Valentine because he's French?

I'm liking silk and tower personally if step is correct

Yep gf said exactly all that which gabe linked.

Tower could tie in with stiletto and chop from what you thought. Possibly valentine cause of the red sole. If you like tower I'm ok with that since he may have been crossing clues since we were kinda lost on that last chop 3.

Sorry interview was like an hour so Prob a good thing.

Maple looks good for maple tree. Used for wood.

File seems decent for filing down something after you make it.
