In the UK there`s a game show called catchphrase, I'm not that good at it, just wondering if its an autism thing? anyone else want a try? (link)

I watched the episode in the link and tried to answear. I think I did ok taken into account that my first language is not english. Some of the cathprases I have never heard of before. On others like "returning compliments" and "smoke signals" I did better than the contestants. So I don't think my Autism is a disadvantage when playing this game. It was a fun game. I think I'll watch more episodes on youtube for the fun of it.

Many of them seem to be peculiar to the UK. But despite being an American I did okay at it.

I gave up after not getting the first two. I'm not geared up to picking up catch phrases and I can't relate to the style of television game shows.
