Barrels	Barrels in ANY form (see illustration below) points to oil as the motivator/source of a problem.
Marilyn Monroe	This icon always indicates conspiracy/scandal/murder
Pig	Typically Pi/G Pi as in Pi inc. or PINK & G as in G-code.
Plaid	Actually means (played) as in you’re being played, so if you see for instance, black and red plaid, you would use your color chart to define part 1 of the answer, and played would be part 2. Put them together and you have a piece of the puzzle.
Argyle	Argyle=Are Guile or A/R (accounts receivable) Guile guile defined: crafty or artful deception An argyle pattern in any form (usually on socks) but can be found elsewhere on a set/wardrobe, indicates guile or a deceptive act is going on. Proceed through the other symbols on the set and chances are the act is being defined therein. Usually it’s an act with money/oil as the motivator. AND this act is usually an ER or chess game.
Paisley	Paisley = Pays LEE this is a payment with a pointer to China. Paisley can be in any form or color. Remember the color of the paisley could be another part of the puzzle. You’ll often find paisley on ties and scarfs but can be anywhere on a set.
