A widowmaker is a burned tree, or one with a decayed trunk, that may fall without warning.

As I understand it, there are other definitions. There have been several word choices in this game that escaped me, maybe because two or more people selected a word from looking at another at the same time, and the order they came up wasn't necessarily the order intended by the person giving it.

housework
Widomaker is the name of a fatal heart attack. Or the name of Pecos Bill's horse.
I was referring to the fatal heart attack from over work.

Washing.
There was a famous person in early American history who had a firearm called a (or the) widowmaker. Or am I thinking of an old movie?

board
Your right about the rifle named "Widomaker" A long rifle, Sharps, carried by Dr Holiday?

Condo
Goldie, apartment complex is two words. We're trying for one word at a time, although we're having a conversation at the same time.

Sneakers, I didn't know the tree trunk definition because I didn't look it up and the only other way I knew "widowmaker" was from the Doc Holliday firearm. It was kind of shocking as it was. It's interesting, the development of words.



cramped
A long distance rifle was developed by Sharps after the popularity of the first line of Sharps. The shot could be fired and not heard by the "shootee". (because of the distance) The rifle itself was called the "Widowmaker"

I've known of women running the vacumn cleaner and having fatal heart attacks. These type of heart attacks are "drop dead" heart attacks and called "Widowmaker" by physicians.
Body builders, runners and joggers have the same phenomen.

An excellent reason not to vacuum. Thanks for the tip.

orthodontist
Our second son wanted to be an orthodontist, but he said he didn't want to pull teeth. We snickered, knowing he is afraid of blood, but thought he would get over it. Then we found out that he was attracted to the field because he noticed that orthodontists drive expensive cars. Eventually, not having to go to school for a long time won out and he went into a less learning-intensive field.

expensive
I can see why he was put off. YUK no way would I want to be a dentist fooling around in someones mouth all day. I always figured the Pie Job in medical field was Pharmacology. I had to have some courses in Plarmacology when I was in college and wondered at the time why I picked Nursing.
