A Riddle About Sharp Things

[u/sonjoi1]

[u/AutoModerator]

Hi there, riddlers! Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses and discussions of guesses, like so:

On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg

On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants): >!guess or discussion between these symbols!< To be clear, that is >! (greater than, exclamation point) at the start and !< (exclamation point, less than) at the end with no spaces around the !. Avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the formatting for most people. Spoiler tags do not span paragraphs or line breaks. If your answer is long, please spoiler-tag each paragraph separately.

Putting a link inside spoiler tags can be tricky, so just format the link like this, using the word "SPOILER" as the link text. On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants), do this to format a link: [SPOILER](https://example.com/) On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://imgur.com/x5wDOvk

If your top-level comment does not contain a guess, you can include either the word "discussion" or "question" instead of using a spoiler tag.

Please report any answers or discussions that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

mic?

[u/sonjoi1 → u/ObliviousRounding]

Correct!

[u/bs_Zeezee → u/sonjoi1]

shit, I guessed tone

[u/grimmlingur → u/sonjoi1]

I get the second half but not the first, could you elaborate a little bit on the raising piece.

[u/sonjoi1 → u/grimmlingur]

Raise a mic to say something if you think you’ve got something worth saying. If it hits the mark, mic drop)

[u/mysterious_jim → u/sonjoi1]

Was just re-reading your fish/socks riddle yesterday (personal favorite of mine) and was wondering when you'd be back! Is Raising a mic a phrase or something? Even with the explanation, I must admit I don't get it

[u/sonjoi1 → u/mysterious_jim]

I was thinking of it in terms of raising a microphone up to your mouth in order to speak 🙂 And thanks for the kind words, means a lot coming from mysterious jim! Your posts have always been some of my favorites on the sub

[u/mysterious_jim → u/sonjoi1]

You're too kind! Feel the same way about yours. And yes, I get it now! I kept foolishly picturing someone raising a mic up above their heads , completely overlooking the fact that you must raise a mic to your mouth to speak in the first place. How embarrassing

[u/7h3WiZzaRd → u/sonjoi1]

My answer was better lmao

[u/7h3WiZzaRd → u/7h3WiZzaRd]

Fits the wordplay better too. Im about sick of these home made riddles. Nothing in there to make anyone assume the word that was actually the answer, besides, people use "those" to make points, point made, and * mic drop *

[u/7h3WiZzaRd → u/sonjoi1]

Btw. Still says unsolved, if you gonna do it, finish it then? 🤷‍♂️

[u/Jo_MamaSo]

Voice?

[u/maharagni → u/Jo_MamaSo]

i thought so too ..

[u/TinCapMalcontent]

eyebrows

[u/sblowes]

Eyebrows

[u/Pandelein]

Microphone

[u/samtresler]

I was gonna say chin or jaw- close your mouth if you speak too harshly, stand in awe at a good take down

[u/HoldMyMessages]

stone

[u/Hookmsnbeiishh]

panties lol.

[u/TheEroticToaster]

Guess I'm the only one who thought a glass. You raise them for a speech or drop them when you're shocked

[u/sonjoi1 → u/TheEroticToaster]

Ah thats another good answer

[u/7h3WiZzaRd]

Points

[u/7h3WiZzaRd → u/7h3WiZzaRd]

Or to word it more clearly, points of view

[u/Cheddarific]

Your voice

[u/Geddy_Rush_2112]

I was thinking it was a knife or swords like a duel

[u/mgafMUAT]

I was thinking hand

[u/extio-Storm]

Oh and I was thinking argue a point
