mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Projoy

[FGZstar] Foody? NO (there is an edible case of this, but it it's not the one a person would first think of)

Spangle

Is this a syndrome or medical condition?

Projoy

[Spangle] Medical? NO.

ImNotJohn

The toaster dimensional question

Projoy

[INJ] Typically smaller than a toaster by volume, and usually by dimension.

Raak

Is it used in the kitchen?

Projoy

[Raak] Kitchen? NO (the only exception being the edible case, I guess).

Projoy

Clue or summary required?

FGZstar

Is it tangible?

Projoy

[FGZstar] Most cases of this are tangible, fewer are abstract.

Here's a roundup and a bit of extra info: This is something that can be vegetable (usually wood) or mineral (usually metal) or abstract. Two cases of this that I can think of have a music connection. Two different cases that I can think of are edible. There is one case, a different one again, where this might be thought of as an award. In that case, and another one again, it acts as a symbol. Nearly all non-abstract cases of this that I can think of are smaller than a toaster.

As you can see, different cases of this have different properties. Feel free to pick on a specific case to help you unfold the whole answer.

ImNotJohn

Does it have any moving parts?

This feels like we are having a category problem and once someone asks the right question it will go quite quickly - but I'm stuck.
