GOT IT.
None of the clues we mentioned above are correct, Mac. (That is, if I'm right.) I'll PM my answer to Biblio.

None of the above, Mac. But, don't surrender. We're a team aren't we?
Hint:
I've never eaten it, but the animal body part is used as food. (Think worthless, rubbish, trash, for another meaning.)

Color: Think beach. Very Happy

That's why I keep posting my lists. I wouldn't want anyone to think I'm not trying!

I was actually explaining to my nephew what tripe is on Monday - but did I think of that? No! Confused

One of my favorite expressions, Biblio. "That's a lot of tripe". Laughing

Did someone ask for compassion? I don't think there is a Mercy Forum yet!

Next word challenge will be posted later on today.

Meanwhile, please check out the latest offering over at BALDERDASH.
