E10 > A2 would absolutely get it, E10 has a decent shot of getting it by itself

I'm thinking how I could hint some more towards it

Haha, I knew that. Was just breaking balls.

I didn’t know that BK is called Hungry Jack in Oz. Hungry Jack is the states is a pancake mix. Is the BK thing a trademark issue? Or maybe a response to anti-monarch sentiment?

And another one since you brought it up in a recent codenames game: we do have Wendy's here, but it's nothing like the Wendy's you have over there. Here, it's basically just milkshakes and hotdogs. So if they ever decided to expand to the Australian market, they would likely have to call it something else.

Haha my friend told me this story how he visited some Australian pals, they were drinking and looking for a place to eat at like 4 AM. And they were all getting him hyped on a place(from what I understood "Macker's" but pronounced Maccas) and he was super thrilled too. And they pull up and the realization hits that it's a McDonalds

The E10 way better than deciduous, lemme fire it

(I didn't think deciduous was also that bad, just steered toward trees imo)

It is still technically "McDonald's" here, too. That is what is on all the restauants, but almost nobody calls it that. Even in ads they call themselves "Maccas" most of the time.

the problem with e10 is it doesn't free up the slam dunk c words; so if it misses, it's more harmful than a2 missing

idk what e10 is, but im totally good with anyone who wants to bold anything we've discussed

my guess is A2 gets it around 50% in one, and c7 would get it like 98% in 2

I'm firing and will deal with the blowback if it misses, but I doubt this will go poorly

I guess the trick is figuring out what the a2 is, since there can't be too many options.

AC - air conditioning?
Ad - I doubt this gets mentioned without advertisement getting mentioned
Ag - silver?
Au - gold?
Ax - I'm sure axe would've been mentioned here

I doubt it could be something like an or at or whatever, but there's probably something I'm missing here.

I'm think something along the lines of fan atm. It hits AC and enthusiast fairly well.

Opposite c6 could be critic.

I'm starting to like fan a lot now.

Filthys hyphenated comment implies AC too

Feels like fan is a lock
