What goes on goes here
Answer:
CLOSET
Hint:
["**Hint:** Think of a place where you might keep items that you \"put on\" daily.\n\nThis hint guides the solver toward the idea of clothing (things you \"put on\") and where they are stored, without directly mentioning \"closet\" or repeating the original clue."]
Explanation:
The clue "What goes on goes here" leads to the answer "CLOSET" through a playful interpretation of the word "goes on." 1. **Wordplay on "goes on"**: The phrase "goes on" can mean "is worn" (as in clothing). So, "what goes on" refers to clothing or garments. 2. **Where clothing is stored**: Clothing is typically stored in a "closet," making it the place where "what goes on" (clothing) "goes here" (is kept). Thus, the clue cleverly combines the idea of clothing ("goes on") with its storage location ("closet").
