I kept insisting on "doppelganger" for "visible manifestation of a ghost"

A doppelganger is an apparition but not all apparitions are doppelgangers.

How is an apparition a doppelganger?? It is just somebody that look like you (though that can be eerie)

Whilst doppelganger these days can just mean someone that looks like you that's a case of the original definition becoming more generalised over time. The word is derived from stories of ghosts called doppelgangers that looked like someone you know.

I couldn't get "duppy" out of my mind for this.

After "Yuppie" for the next one (60s counter culture) I typed "Yippie" about ten times (sometimes making it "Yippee") before remembering the actual answer that word was derived from.

Floppy things may be flexible, but not all flexible things are floppy.

I liked how some rhyming answers were next to each other: Kipper and Skipper. Sapper and Grappa. Also, I was going to be one answer short, until I filled in the very last answer (clothing) which reminded me what the ghost one was.

as an Italian I really want to hear you say "grappa" out loud if you think it rhymes with sapper

You'd see it a lot if you are into medieval military or early industrial military history, or perhaps fantasy.

Guess that explains why I didn't get it! Got all the others though, so not too bad a showing.

It's still used in the British Army. The lowest rank in the Royal Engineers (equivalent to Private) is Sapper. The corps as a whole are colloquially known as the Sappers.

I don't drink and I'm not into military games or history, which is probably why I missed sapper and grappa.

Only reason I got it is because of recently watching the British series "Danger: UXB" about WWII soldiers in London who went around defusing UneXplodded Bombs that the Germans had dropped on the city. Quite good.

No one else ever play the board game Stratego? Used to have it as a kid. Sappers were weak but the only pieces that would defuse enemy bomb pieces instead of dying to them. Was so satisfying if you managed to sneak a sapper to an enemy bomb without dying on the way. Happy days... :)

Anybody else try "Cappy" as the informal term for a captain? :)

(I am not suggesting this should be accepted)

I work at a Goodwill (not sure if counts as department store), and we call clothes...clothes. Not apparel.

I think apparel is American English usage. It is rarely used nowadays in the UK.

I feel like "nipple" should work for the vestigial clue... oh wait it says organ. Nevermind
