Many Hats
Some words wear more than one hat. The same word can be a noun in one sentence and a verb in the next, and the character who owns it is decided by the job it is doing right now.
How to play
One word, many hats. Read the sentence, see which job the word is doing, and send it to the character whose job that is. Get it right and the claimant punches in while the rival grumbles. Then take the wheel and drop one word into two frames, and watch it change its part of speech as it lands.
Slang: A word is free, baby. It can take any job it can do, and I love watching it slip from one to the next.
The Mayor: True, Slang. And in any one sentence the word wears exactly one hat. You have to know which. Naming it is the whole dignity of language.
