Green is quite a satisfying group and i don't mind not having gotten it. I was trying different "duck" dishes.Purple is the typical "american slang that i don't understand" group that we hate on this side of the atlantic
purple
Except for maybe "miss", the other 3 are words for not just duds, but also for movies that perform poorly. Bomb and bust are mostly for financial failures as well. What words do you use for failed films?purple
Mostly just "crap, sh*t," and "lackustre," since a film bombing in cinemas isn't necessarily indicative of it being a bad film. I don't hear anyone say that over here.
'Went bust' is used but for businesses - a film is a product rather than a business so it feels a bit weird to say it went bust. If i was describing something not meeting box office targets I'd say 'it didn't break even' or 'it barely broke even' or 'made less profit than expected' (3 levels of poor performance there)
Dud is specifically for a failed manufactured product like a bomb or another weapon.
'It was a miss' is definitely not used, i thought millenials coined that phrase
I wouldn't say purple was particularly bad this time in that regard.

For me Bombay and missus didn't really fit with anything. Bombay was the hook that helped me sift through leftovers. Being the only place name it suggested to look at word parts or changing letters.
