Nickle has the word "nick" which I used in the word "nicked" meaning "hit" or that I took something from someone, and I got nicked by a rubber band, which was rubbery.

Neptune.

Neptune is the sea God that has a trident, trident is a bubblegum brand - and bubblegums are pretty rubbery.


grammar

Hmm. That's a good one...

Grammar controls how words flow. Neptune controls how the seas flow.

Football

You mean you never played grammar football games?

Blanketfish

American football has a different name than the football in Europe, and Blanket fish might have a different name.

Belt.

Blanketfish are also known as manta rays, which are sometimes hunted for their skins to make leather, which is used to make belts (among other things).

Flare

Some people use belts with their initials or gold trinkets to add flare to the nether regions.

audit

An audit can really flare up one's temper.

fetish.

C'mon, fetish is a wild card word xD who's to say there's no fetish in being audited?


mother

Some people might have a mother fetish. More specifically a person-acting/dressing-motherly fetish.

storm

Well, there's a thing we call mother nature, and it is said that when she's angry, she causes a storm.

Medusa

The word for that is "flair", not "flare". Close enough, though.

My answer for audit+flare would have been: When you audit something, you're looking for red flags. When signaling at night, you use flares instead of flags for visibility.

Medusa and Storm are both fictional characters with supernatural powers.

Lunar

I looked it up on an online dictionary. We use "Flare" for temper because angry and not "flair".

Oops. Sorry, I didn't communicate clearly. I meant those two sentences to be separate from each other, one a correction (to the post before yours, not to yours) and one an unrelated idea I had while I was reading the thread.

(Oh... oops! Well, thanks for the clarification.)

Medusa appears in some Greek myths and I think Athena has her head in a bag or something. Athena is a goddess. Artemis is another goddess, and she happens to be the goddess of the moon.

Prickly

EDIT: The word before that was lunar if you don't want to read up :P
