A puzzle

[gemfyre]

One of last night's quiz night questions was a neat one. We didn't get the answer, can you?

WHAT AM I?

People get me, but not in polite company
I can suggest a change in opinion
The longer I am, the more words I contain
And if I fall, I am lucky

Wind. I think. I can't place that to the third one but:

People get me, but not in polite company - wind / farting.
I can suggest a change in opinion - change of winds
?
And if I fall, I am lucky - Windfall.

I thought wind too, I think three is the word 'longwinded' :)

Ah you're good!!! That one had me really stumped. :)

You're both good. Our table of 5 was stumped. We were going off on entirely the wrong tangent with it.

Nope, wouldn't have known. I was thinking an argument or debate, hehe.

How'd you do this time?
