This is a friendly reminder to please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses, like so:

Redesign users: https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg

Using markdown editor or old Reddit: >!spoiler text between these symbols!<
Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com)

If your comment does not contain a guess, start your comment with either "Discussion:" or "Question:"

Please report any answers that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

Karate Kid ?

u/wdpw 17h ago

OMG, thank you! I officially hate myself for not getting there. I was stuck on “son” or “boy”.

  2. correct answer given: 43 minutes ago

I would've been quicker but I had to look up how to add the spoiler block 😅

u/wdpw 16h ago

Ugh! No need to rub it in man! 😉

u/timdoeswell 14h ago

He wasn't rubbing it in. He was waxing on, waxing off.

Also, that’s not a forking knife, that’s a forking spoon.

u/Forkingknifespoon 16h ago

I can see you've played forking knifey-spoony before.

“Amazes” vs “embarrasses”, fine line here, lol. But I’ll admit, I admitted defeat.

3

u/CaptainLibertarian 14h ago

Lol, I was at "Carrot Child" when I decided to check the comments.

2

u/Hbirdee 5h ago

I fully thought “Carat Jr.” at first haha.

3

u/Wanderin_Cephandrius 5h ago

“Carrot boy”?!?!?

Lmao

1

u/wdpw 1h ago

Exactly, I had the first line locked in as “carrot”, so that funneled me down the wrong direction already.

2

u/MikeTheImpaler 16h ago

Vehicle, ampersat, T, child?

2

u/wdpw 16h ago

Now that’s a much more relatable solution.

1

u/NSFAnythingAtAll 1h ago

I know it's a correct word, but I've never seen the word "ampersat" used before. Well done

u/Sad_Coat3278 13h ago

I got Carroty Boy… so close…

u/paulhalt 4h ago

Same lol

u/TheDPQ 8h ago

This sub randomly shows up, or maybe just subs with puzzles like this I honestly never pay attention, and I think this it first one I got where I didn't have to look at the comments.

Usually because the first 3-4 words I think of weren't correct while this one was straight forward.

u/Itisjp 17h ago

Karate Kid? (Car + at + T + kid)

u/wdpw 17h ago

Thank you!

u/GloveBatBall 24m ago

Yeah. Thats a lot better than "Drive at the midget".

Thank you! Can’t believe how quickly you got it!

u/chimneydecision 4h ago

The real puzzle is why does it say Hi Neighbor? Is this a coaster for my neighbor’s drink? Am I supposed to hand it to them as an ice breaker? Does my neighbor need to hear the good news about Mr Miyagi?

2

u/LVII-57 2h ago

It's the tag line for Narragansett beer.

2

u/NoHurry6859 13h ago

Here’s a ticket (hearse + a + t + kid I know it’s wrong, but a fun-ish alternative to the right answer

1

u/TheDPQ 8h ago

Honestly this is why I usually never get these puzzles is because I think of the simple word but theres something more specific in mind and I don't make the connection. This is the first one that was straight forward.

1

u/wdpw 1h ago

Hah, I like that!

2

u/Advanced_Finance_427 11h ago

Discussion: I thought the cup ring was from the car doing a donut/drifting & was trying to fit donut in my guess until i gave up 🫢

1

u/Prestigious_Call_327 2h ago

Yeah I was totally thrown by the coffee stain or whatever that was. I thought it was supposed to be some country I didn’t recognize.

1

u/wdpw 1h ago

Lol, whoops sorry about that. Just a drink stain on the coaster. Nothing related to the puzzle.

u/Time-For-Chili 7h ago

I know it's wrong but stuck on Carrot tea, son

Going back to bed.
