My first guess was a term they use in the news all the time: non-life-threatening.

Same here. I got it on the next attempt, but would suggest that life-threatening be added as an acceptable option.

Life-threatening is not a one-word term and may not be acceptable for that reason. Besides, I'm not sure that it has the exact same meaning as fatal/lethal, as it doesn't seem to be absolute. A life-threatening wound may kill you under certain circumstances, but not necessarily. A fatal wound will kill you no matter what.

I figured it was something like "nonagenarian"... sometimes I feel like everyone in media just learned the word "octogenarian" and just can't wait to find some way to work it into a sentence... but I guess none of my guesses got the spelling exactly right.

How about non-affiliated for neither Dem or Rep?

I was nonplussed that you left out my favorite word beginning with "non." I will be plussed if you add it. Also, nonprofits may make money, they just don't distribute it to owners.

Yes, was surprised that nonplussed was not accepted for the "indifferent" clue.

Me too, but then I looked it up and it doesn't mean what I thought it meant. It means perplexed, which isn't the same as indifferent.

It's the wrong part of speech. The clues are nouns.

Not really. I count at least 12 adjectives, plus a couple more that could be adjectives or nouns depending on context.

i don't know if you are aware of it, but "nonagenarian" is the only word in which "non" is not a prefix of negation, but is part of the word's etymology.
joeythelemur

What about "nonchalant"? There's no word "chalant" for the "non" to negate. Probably a few other examples too.
redsplat

Level 73
Jul 16, 2019
In French chalant comes from the root chaloir which means 'to care' or 'to be concerned.' The same root gives rise to our words 'client' and 'customer' (as opposed to 'clerk' which roughly translates to 'doesn't give a rat's behind').

To be fair, a lot of those words are normal words with 'non' just added. Take the negative out of the clue and you'll have a quiz of definitions of random words ("one who drinks alcohol"; "containing milk products" etc.)

Sorry, but you could be extremely partisan whilst simultaneously being neither Republican nor Democratic. The creator of this quiz has revealed himself to be (A) from the US and (B) Insular. Every politician in my country is partisan though none of them belong to either of your political parties. Also, surely, even in the US one could be a communist (or something else) which would make you pretty partisan. You need a different clue, mate.
grantdon

The term "non partisan" is more commonly applied to issues that have the support of both parties, so the clue would be better worded as "both Republican and Democrat"

nonpartisan is incorrect for "neither republican or democrat". You can be socialist, communist, green tea or what ever and NOT be either republican or democrat. The correct "clue" should be "no political affiliation(s)"
nonono

Level 90
Jul 22, 2019
Agreed. The proper answer is probably non-affiliated, although even that ignores that someone could be registered with a third party such as the Libertarian Party, Green Party or Minnesota's Farm Labor Party. Even if one is not registered with any party, he or she could certainly be partisan.

Yep - sorry this is not a good quiz. the first time I have thought this for over two years participating. You have simply added 'non' as a prefix to various words. And non-flammable is defintiely wrong. its flammable or inflammable.
