HOLD ON, correcting
Hmmm, oops...
This is pretty technical, but my candidate for the group of three can actually be a group of four, if we include vocab for gas fixtures.

Don't fish, boy! Don't mumble! If you have an answer, spit it out! Otherwise sit down and let one of your fellow reptiles have a shot at it.Originally Posted by billl
There are a lot of different Mary Sues. Here's another:

Yeah, I know--but if I'm wrong, I'm maybe just handing out one of the groups of four. I don't know if that'd be screwing up the game, cowardly, audacious, the way the cookie crumbles, rakishly reckless, or what... But I felt reluctant.
"Pop"

I think it's okay if you hit one of the groups of four, because it all adds to the general momentum, and anyway I'm not going to say whether or not what you say is one of them, so it might be that you're leading everyone astray. That's what I like about this way of doing it - it introduces more interference and permits more people to have a go. It's not just wham-bam.
So, anyway - to get to your suggestion that 'pop' might be the connector for the group of three....
No.

Nope, not 'age'.
[QUOTE=MarkBastable;1093470]I should jolly well hope you are sorry. It was an unforgiveable lapse from the standards I've come to expect. You've let yourself down very badly - perhaps irrevocably. I'm afraid that I think much of less you because of this incident and, frankly, I'm not sure there's any way for you to recover your former position in the echelons of my esteem. I'm not angry - I'm just very, very disappointed......[QUOTE]
Tough.
(Mark, you forget I used to be a teacher - I can do that sort of reprimand without blinking an eye. You should hear my Joyce Grenfell - 'Mark.... don't do that.....')
You'd think someone would revive the comic character monologue with a modern twist, wouldn't you? I suppose the closest we've had in recent years is Victoria Wood.
Thank goodness, some of the links for the other groups I had were looking a bit tenuous. I shall start again.
ay up
I'm thinking "bird." (free)bird, bird(of song), bird(cage).
Oi Mick, I've been wondering all night, how'd you get "pig?" I can only find two, being pig(latin) and pig(pen).

Two things:
1) In the previous post, Juniper is suggesting "bird" as a possibility. I'm wondering, though, does it matter if bird comes before or after the words in its group? I mean, can some be before, and some after? (and I'll add "early" and "cage" as other candidates to match with "bird", which I'm sure impresses everyone).
2) Is "Liturgical" what we're looking for?
****, I missed (early)bird. Looks like it's more likely to be one of the groups of four.

Oh, I accidentally repeated your mention of "cage"--I meant to add "brain" to the possible group members...
So we have the bird-comes-first candidates: cage, brain
and then the bird-comes-after candidates: early, song, free
It's a category that might very well be a red herring. Or it could be a group of three or four.
