Today’s episode of ABS-CBN’s Wheel of Fortune was kind of weird. You know how towards the last part of the show the contestant gets to guess at the jackpot word for 10 seconds? Well this episode’s word was described as a “THING”. He was actually lucky to get about 4 consonants correct, but with such a vague description of what he was guessing at, he failed to identify the word within 10 seconds.

When the word unfolded on the screen, I shared the reaction of the contestant… wha? that’s a thing? I know that thing covers a lot of meanings but I had a hard time associating it with the jackpot word.

The word is… Pseudonym - meaning a fictitious name.

I can still hear Kris Aquino shriek - “Of course that’s a thing! Kwestyunin daw ba ako.” (Of course that’s a thing! How dare you doubt me.)
