Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Abstract: The Pants Memorial Game
help
The chairperson selects an object/idea/whatever and announces whether it's animal, vegetable, mineral, and/or abstract. The others have to ask questions to figure out what it is. Whomever guesses the object correctly is given the chair for the next round; repeat ad nauseam.

[Inkspot] Not really, though it's causes often are.
[Dujon] No
[Breadmaster] One of the mineral connections is.
[Raak] No
[Darren] Yes, And don't worry about asking multiple question, especially over the weekend.
Is the mineral, which is a part of the name of the item, a solid?
[Snodgrass] One of them is, one of them isn't
Is it a phrase or saying?
Is there a maritime connection?
[GL] Yes
[BM] Not as far as I'm aware
Does it have a religious connection?
[Inkspot] No
A bottle/can (depends where you come from) of elbow grease?
"Like chalk and cheese"?
Salt of the earth?
Thinking that only one thing is solid how about a Bucket of Steam?

Is the non-solid mineral part of the name, a liquid?
[Snodgrass] No
[BIGSmith] No
[Raak] No
[Darren] No
[Darren] In part
Is the solid part stone?
Or is the solid a Metal?

Summary: A phrase or saying, that uses the names of two mineral items, one solid, one partially liquid. One man-made. Not linked to Antarctica, nor religion.
A glass of some cocktail, Vodka Martini (shaken not stirred) with Ice for example?
[Snodgrass] No
Is the partially liquid thing a viscous substance?
[Snodgrass] No
A gaseous or vaporous form of a liquid?
[Snodgrass] The part of the non-solid mineral item that is not liquid is a gaseous or vaporous form of the liquid.
The boiling point of water?
Does this object have a medical purpose?
[Inkspot] 100 degrees Centigrade, which has nothing to do with this.
[Snodgrass] I can think of no medical use for it.
A quantity of mud which, when thrown at a wall, will leave some still adhering?
[Raak] In what way is that an Abstract. And what kind of mud do you get 'round there? All the mud I've seen is viscous rather than gaseous or vaporous.
Are the solid, liquid, and vaporous parts, different states of the same substance?
Is it a phrase to decribe a change in state?
[Raak] The solid part is a different substance. The vaporous and liquid parts are different states of the same substance.
[Inkspot] No.
Is the man made object a building or structure?
Is the solid part artificial stone, such as concrete?
[Inkspot] No.
[Darren] Yes

I will probably be away from Thursday to Tuesday. Therefore I will now provide a number of broad hints:

Is it s container?
[Snodgrass] Yes!
[Snodgrass] Is it's container what?
Is the solid item referenced known for containing something? (Pot, Jar, Kettle like)
[Snodgrass] Yes.
A Pot Boiler?
Is it ia phrase like, The kettle calling the pot black?
A whistling kettle?
but boiling water has already been dismissed whatever it is, is at alower temp, presumably
Condensation on a wine chiller?
But this can be seen so thats not right
[Snodgrass] A what? No
[Inkspot] It is a phrase. But not that one.
[Inkspot] No.
[Inkspot Clone III] No
