Connections
What connects the United States of America, the London Underground and the English Football League? I'm looking for a one word answer. If you know that word, give it, but please do not give a reason. Let someone else have a go at that.

Looks like no-one knows this one. The answer, obviously, is MACKEREL.

Iirc there's only one team in the English Football League that doesn't contain any of the letters from the word MACKEREL.Kirk Bevins wrote:Ah yes!!!

That's quite fun. I'd heard the thing about MACKEREL v. London Underground stations before, which is amusing but not particularly strange - I even wrote a little C program to find other words in the dictionary that it applies to, and there are loads. But the fact that the same word has the same property when applied to two other such notable lists of names is certainly interesting.
