Tonight, a clue on Jeopardy was,

"At 6-6, and 335 lbs, University of Tennessee offensive lineman, Antonio Richardson earned this 4-letter nickname."

Interestingly, someone actually got it, which surprised me.

This group did better on football than the last time it was a category.

Does this mean that Jeopardy loves us because they picked a Tennessee player or they hate us because they picked one to remind us of the Dooley/Butch eras?

The category was titled "deminentive". The Canadian contestant answered the comment by deductive reasoning an NOT VIA ANY KNOWLEDGE OF TENNESSEE.

Deminentive?
That's not even a word.

Are you sure it wasn't Diminutive?
If the category was Diminutive, then that makes the answer (or question on Jeopardy) easy to guess since tiny is a four-letter synonym for diminutive. You wouldn't even have to know his actual nickname to get that obvious reply correct. Obvious answers do not entail deductive reasoning.

Maybe it was “Diminventive”, a play on diminutive and inventive.
