h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

There is a word in the English language in which the first two letters signify a man, the first three letters signify a woman, the first four letters signify a great man, and the whole word, a great woman..

What is the word???

HEROINE

!"§$%&amp)?=?**' In first and I can't work it out. I'm thinking, though. Teamwork: Something with Mr, then Mrs, -... can you change the order of the letters, I think Monsegnieur would then be Msr, but that doesn't work

Beat me to the simulpost GB! Well done

Greebo, you forgot that the first six letters are an addictive narcotic.

Not to cats they don't get high on human drugs just like catnap does not work on us so how would grebo know that.

That would have been too much of a giveaway.

What does a man do standing up, a woman do sitting down and a dog do on three legs?


Think twice before posting!(Scuse me Greebo for using your forum, it's only a little joke one on the side)

I'm going to go out on a limb on this one, but I think the answer is "shake hands."

p-i-s-s

Eat doughnuts???

Congraulations GB... another fine answer... is anyone going to be able to stop you... ~grin~

Yup - shake hands is the answer. Good ice breaker, though!!
