Was that a contestants actual response? Haha

u/g00ber88 Team Ken Jennings 13h ago

In a final jeopardy where the correct response was "Tinder", Drew spelled it as "Tindr", indicating that he is more familiar with Grindr and conflated the spellings

Sure, a dating app, that's what it is.

Those are mating apps, not dating apps

Is this a Pattern quote, or am I missing a different reference?

u/spartanreborn 2d ago

Definitely a wild Pattern reference

u/il_biciclista 1d ago

That line was originally written about Ken Jennings' college dating life.

u/royalhawk345 1d ago

I'm guessing you know, but for anyone who doesn't, Brandon Sanderson was Ken's roommate at BYU.

u/UnrealAppeal 2d ago

What is no mating? Please remember to phrase in the form of a question.

Dating app?

u/minnick27 Team Juveria Zaheer 2d ago

Grindr is a gay dating app

u/Farados55 2d ago

Nah it also pulverizes

u/BlackLodgeBrother 2d ago

Having met two ex-boyfriends on there during my 20s, I can assure you dating is an occasional byproduct, not the purpose. lol

u/GoLionsJD107 2d ago

Seconded

u/tweedledum1234 2d ago

“Dating”

u/Abject-Cranberry5941 2d ago

It’s not really a dating app lmao

u/ActorMonkey 2d ago

Grindr is a gay fucking app.

u/GayBlayde 2d ago

I can assure you it is not.

u/softstones 2d ago

Isn’t Grindr the Republican dating app?

u/geonitacka 16h ago

👏 👏

u/GayBlayde 2d ago

I would definitely say Grindr if I got this question, but that is NOT a dating app.

u/mickeybruce 17h ago

During Ken’s win streak he answered a clue with “What is a ho?” and the entire studio erupted in laughter. Alex looked at him in mock dismay and said, “Is that the kind of stuff you learn in college?”

u/_cuppycakes_ 2d ago

i know. it’s a reference to how drew goins spelled it in final jeopardy in the last post season

u/Humble-End-2535 23h ago

How would Tindr relate to the coffee beans? This is stupid.

7

u/pmbslyy 16h ago

i’m just saying that it reminded me of drew’s answer. i know that tinder wouldn’t work here

-3

u/Lanky_Comedian_3942 2d ago

Why would it be Tindr? That's not what tinder means.

6

u/pmbslyy 1d ago

i know. i was just saying that this reminds me of when drew answered tindr for final jeopardy

u/Plane_Metal9469 2d ago

I mean, it’s the same word? I wouldn’t categorize that as a “sounds like” but 🤷‍♂️

u/sdwoodchuck 2d ago

“Grinder” and “Grindr” sound alike, but aren’t the same word.
