Those 3 are right

Fervor is passion and then passion fruit so the word is passion but tough with only 2 clues

Last one was comedy...Dumber was for Dumb and Dumber

Edison / UTG were mine

I doubled up on: Christ (passion); Toad (mushroom); genre (comedy)

good job on the 3. picasso one wasn't the easiest. I did the last clue listed for all.

magnet not obvious there. i put X-Men, for non-dupe reasons and hopefully leading Magneto --> Magnet in conjunction with other clues.

think you could've easily got bottle there. Genie leads directly to it and everything else links up. Perhaps you were hitting the bottle too hard over the holidays. In hindsight I should have put 100mL if that's allowable clue.

purely for understanding/curiosity reasons why is X-Men a legal clue? I thought hyphenated words weren't legal in codenames

Technically they are legal in the rules of this game so I’ve been letting them slide even tho I said Codenames rules

I went with refigerator, puppet, Hiroshima, genie, and cubism. Cubism was duplicated. I'm impressed that we got Picasso with only 2 clues. I'm a little disappointed we didn't get bottle.

Pull, Punch, Warhead, Baby and Cubism were my clues, I wanted to say 'magnemite' for magnet as it's a magnet pokemon but not sure if it was legal since it basically has magnet in it's name lol

Sorry, bottle never occurred to me. It should have. I was thinking every other genie connection. I'll say that I had just woken up, was getting ready for work, and not feeling well. Yeah, that was it.

12. LOL hammock. Banana, clearly.
13. Isaac Yankem, DDS! Hopefully this is a wrestling reference. Again, with the higher likelihood of duplication, I'll go with dentist over tooth.
14. Not sure what Party is, but all the rest point to foam.
15. Definitely sword.

Sorry, Zeus never even crossed my mind. Duplicates were brutal there. Just bad luck.

I feel really dumb, I didn't even consider Zealand/York/England for New. I thought of all 3 of the other ones, plus just stuff like "release" "brand" "mint" "old" "fresh", etc, and somehow I just never thought of the locations. Thank God someone said Zealand, haha.
