How these nipple riddles work
These riddles work because nipple is a practical word with several unrelated jobs. In one clue, it is the soft bottle teat with a tiny hole, a flow rate, a vent, or an X cut. In another, it is a short pipe nipple, threaded at both ends, or a bicycle spoke nipple hidden under rim tape.
The grease nipple and Zerk fitting add a maintenance angle: a gun clicks on, and a neglected joint squeaks. Poultry nipples release water when a beak pecks, while a topo map can show a nipple-shaped summit. Watch for the same word switching from something squeezed or bitten to something tightened, capped, or greased. For example, "What gets squeezed at breakfast but sits on a syrup bottle?" points to a condiment-bottle nipple, not a feeding teat.
