very true I have friends who are practicing wicca's (I don't know the plural) they would scalp you for saying that a warlock is a male witch, a male witch is called a witch.
No, warlock is martial; bellicose; fit for, fond of, or ready for war.
I did not say that a warlock is a male witch, I said "A man who practices the black arts." WICCAN'S do NOT practice the black arts. My wording was carefully chosen for just that reason

And then Ross agreed that your statement was correct. He then went on to correct the misconception to which many of us had previously been subjected. I did not say that a warlock is a male witch, I said "A man who practices the black arts."
So you are both in the right.
Meanwhile the statement remains: No, warlock is martial; bellicose; fit for, fond of, or ready for war.
Ok Grondmaster, I think that we need the answer... 
goes my brain... (well it is the school holidays here...) its "war-something" - right?
goes my brain... (well it is the school holidays here...) its "war-something" - right?No, warlike is the nighttime gleam from a distant celestial body.
(Once you have see it, my word was obvious; however, I also had a heck of a time coming up with a new definition for it. This may have been what slowed everybody down.) :elfembar:

And here I was trying to find a word to go with warmonger, warlike is much easier.

I meant for you to either give us another hint or move us to another word, because we have run out of Japanese motorcycle and instrument makers. You have stumped us, Arwen*Evenstar*.
Please.
In spite of fear of showing ignorance: why would you need more Japanese motorcycle and instrument makers? I'm confused
Couldn't you have just said:'No, a Yamaha is an instrument with six strings that can be strummed or plucked'
*either that or I just don't get these rules, in which case feel free to go on without me.

Now I understand the problem. Yamaha also makes pianos and recorders, we were looking for a brand name that rhymes with scimitar or is spelled similarly. We were confused by this. In spite of fear of showing ignorance: why would you need more Japanese motorcycle and instrument makers? I'm confused

*either that or I just don't get these rules, in which case feel free to go on without me.
To lessen your confusion, here is the game format:
No, Word A = Definition B (Words A and B should rhyme, etc.)
No, Word B = Definition C (Words B and C should ...)
No, Word C = Definition D (Words C and D should ...)
To fit these rules, the clue might have been, 'No, a scimitar is an instrument with six strings that can be strummed or plucked'. Then Rednell answer would fall into place to be answered by the next person.
Arwen*Evenstar*: Please don't give up playing the game with us. We need new people to bring new words and they can use words that we have previously used without any prejudice (we old timers try not to repeat words, which is sometimes difficult), but it is fine when a new person does as it keeps the game from growing stagnant.
