Sumiki wins this round, simply because he had the longest list. Here's the full list of twenty:

 

Answer:

  • I shot a squirrel in a tree. (killed)
  • A long shot in betting. (odds)
  • A shot in the dark. (guessing)
  • A shot of liquor. (portion)
  • I’m all shot today. (tired)
  • Shot the day. (wasted)
  • Shot a picture. (took)
  • Took a shot at farming. (chance)
  • Shot a gun. (fired)
  • Shot an arrow. (expelled from a bow)
  • Shot a game of pool. (played)
  • Basketball shot. (throw)
  • Business is shot. (ruined)
  • You look shot. (bad)
  • Shot the works. (spent)
  • Shot pellets in a gun. (metal particles)
  • I took a shot at it. (try)
  • He’s a big shot at work. (top man)
  • The bird shot out of the tree. (flew)

Rules:

  1. Don't share answers with each other, even answers you know aren't right. Doing so will get you disqualified for that round. This also applies for stealing another person's answer when you didn't come up with it yourself.
  2. You may, however, share theories. If you come up with an answer with the help of another contestant, make sure you mention that you did so, and who that was so I can give them credit.
  3. Each round, I will post the clues that correspond with that puzzle in a spoiler tag, assuming there are clues. Yes, there are some with no clues. Deal with it.
  4. If you have heard some of these puzzles before (Rockhound and Robo, I'm looking at you), out of courtasy to the other contestants please don't share the answer to others.
  5. There are no prizes for winning, save bragging rights.
  6. If you believe you have the answer, post it in spoilers in the comments. Share theories through IM, PM, whatever floats your boat.
  7. You will have one week from the posting of the new puzzle to solve it. Afterwards, the blog entry will be locked.

Broken down phonetically, the above word will be pronounced “fish”. How?

English,being a silly language, allows for the letters GH to make the F sound, O to make the short I sound, and TI to make the SH sound

 

In addition, according to my brother, if converted to a cyrillic language such as Russian, the above word will be pronounced "Fis"
