Pronoun Game

The game nobody wins.

Only using words like he, she, it, or them to give a description to a person or group of people to keep up the mystery as to who the speaker is referring to is playing the pronoun game. The Pronoun Game is found by many to be a very annoying UnTrash to be played as it, for one, would be a counterproductive way of describing someone or thing in real life and, for two, is "somewhat" overplayed.

A good example of The Pronoun Game is Guy walks up to Ava who is curled up in a ball on the ground, paralyzed with fear. Guy asks her what's the problem and she responds with "Th-they came back...". As "they" can refer to a single person (male or female) or multiple people (ranging from a small group to a whole organization), this has the "mystery" stay alive. Guy continues to inquire about this "they", but Ava never goes any deeper in detail other than using the same pronoun over and over.

It's almost impossible to Negate The Pronoun Game as you can really only Justify it with the speaker finally giving a name of who they're referring to. It wouldn't make sense to try and Zip it as we start out playing the pronoun game, then we're told who the speaker is talking about, then they go back to playing the pronoun game despite the fact we already know who they're talking about. But, to be fair, Zip isn't all that compatible with many UnTrashes to begin with.
