The noun is fixed. Read my mind.

This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

Poppet,

Let's say you could buy something at the mall that had one of these in it.

Laughingcrow,

Not to my knowledge.

Gilli,

I can't speak for any of the other words, but this noun is Elvis related.

Good questions. No hints needed for now.

It is not metal. Metal can be used to make one. But so can a lot of things.

It is not trigger.

It is neither exclusively. It can be organic or mechanical.

Explore this path. It's a good one.

A hint will be forthcoming.

No, it's not a stage.

Even a blind man can find one.

Another hint:

Though a noun, this word is probably most often used as a verb.

Alas, not pocket, though pocket could be a verb. This noun is used as a verb slightly more often than it is as a noun by most people.

A bouncer would use it almost exclusively as a verb, but not a musician.

It is not "boot," but you are, in one sense, closer than anyone else has been so far.

If I were grading this, I would have to give you half credit.

Damn you and your silly games, Noise. I have more to do around my house today than I will ever get done and here I sit trying to play your little game. :)

Does the word have more than one meaning/spelling?

Lughingcrow,
You should trust your instincts. Though, I actually said a blind person can find one.

It's Beat.

Sing with me:

We're all going on a summer holiday
Vigilante's coming out to follow me.
Heard somebody say they're out to collar me.
Anybody wanna swallow me?
It takes two to tumble. It takes two to tango.
Speak up; don't mumble if you're in the combo.

On the beat, on the beat.
Till a man comes along and he says,
'Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ.'

See your friends in the state their in.
See your friends getting under their skin.
See your friends getting taken in.

Well, if you only knew the things you do to me.
I'd do anything to confuse the enemy.
There's only one thing wrong with you befriending me.
Take it easy. I think you're bending me.

I've been a bad boy with the standard leader.
My neighbor's revving up his Vauxhall Viva.

On the beat, on the upbeat.
Till a man comes along and he says,
'Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ.'

See your friends walking down the street.
See your friends never quite complete.
See your friends getting under their feet.

Oh, I don't want to disease you,
but I'm no good with machinery.
Oh, I don't wanna freeze you.
Stop looking at the scenery.
I keep thinking about your mother.
Oh, I don't wanna lick them.
I don't wanna be a lover.
I just wanna be your victim.
I don't go out much at night.
I don't go out much at all.
Did you think you were the only one
who was waiting for a call

On the beat, on the upbeat.
Till a man comes along and he says,
'Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ.'

See your friends treat me like a stranger.
See your friends despite all the arrangements.
See your friends Nothing here has changed.
Just the beat.

It counts.

Is your noun animal, vegetable, or mineral?

Noiseradio - Animal, Vegetable or Mineral...hmm, I guess it's technically none of them, (and it's not the very model of a modern major general)

So lacklustre - it doesn't rhyme with green.

I might give you some clues... think on brave nounketeers!
