Maybe the answer is Hungry Man.

It's a type of food brand, and would be the only "Man" out of those 3.

Word man confirmed to not be important.

Oh. Ok.

[IslaKariese]

Preparation is concrete-- people usually have some physical instance of preparation. Whereas hunger and defeat are more abstract; you can't prove either one to someone else. (anyone want to try it?)

Edit: He gave us another hint--

How can you USE this odd man out? It's about the context in which *you* can use them

So how about: We can use preparation and hunger to achieve something; defeat is an ends, not a means.

Try it.

[Scarab]

Preparation and Defeat both indicate action is being or has been taken, Hunger merely indicates longing?

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

How can you - you specifically - use one of these words?

Preparation's the only one that might help us stop the Cabal?

(Also, I've mentioned this before and don't want to be repetitive-- but I don't have Twitter, so if anyone who does feels like trying out my guesses, please go ahead.)

He keeps saying we're being too abstract, so I'm not so sure that's the answer. I'm Sooooo bad at riddles!

Try it.

If you are good enough, even defeat becomes a means to your ultimate end. However, he might accept this.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

He keeps on stressing "is that what we'd use those WORDS for". Methinks it's more about using the words in speech than using their meanings.

Join the club.

Okay maybe this relates to the Cabal

They want to stay in this world - hunger
They're run by a villain, and villains in fiction are usually defearted (which could explain their longing not to return)
Aaaand they are preparing against us, while we prepare against them.

I have no idea. I wish he'd give us another hint...

Yes but in a way that's NOT grammatical, apparantly.

[IslaKariese]

We must prepare to defeat the enemy. Hunger's the odd one out.

Nope! Though what an interesting line of thought...

Well, for what it's worth, I managed to impress him... somewhat...

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

We've been discussing the Cabal in terms of preparation and defeat, but not in terms of hunger. (There-- using the words!)
Problem is, people have already suggested very similar things... Still, he claims it's "quite simple".

[WackyMeetsPractical]

Guys! Preparation is a code word into pheeble. There's an archived chat. Try the others!

[The Finch]

DefEAT and hunger both refer to food.

Prepare is the odd one out.

WHAT

LET'S GO WACKY!

We've already tried everything we can think of that's simple...

Hunger - you rpepare a meal to stave off hunger
Defeat - You prepare to defeat somebody, or fail to prepare to be defeated.
Hunger can also indicate wanting soemthing, how badly you wanted...

But the cat says it's not that abstract...

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

Only preparation. That makes it the odd one out!

(Clarification: I checked hunger and defeat as pheeble codes, and they didn't work.)

Someone please suggest this to the cat as I cannot!

[Sicon112]

Indeed. Just found that myself to see you guys already had it. Looks like riddletime strikes again.

[IslaKariese]

Yeah. Simple. That's... exactly what it was.

[NeverSlender]

Reading that, I think Angelus could be the phantom.

[Adell]

I'm calling foul on the answer to this riddle! It wasn't really a riddle at all! >8[

[Zup]

I feel dumb.

[Dryunya]

I thought that too... but it's contradicting... something!
Dammit. I don't even.

[Adell]

Another riddle any minute now.

[IslaKariese]

Another riddle any minute now.

I'm jumping for joy. Watch as I leap across valleys and over mountains and punch a hole in the sky with how much I'm jumping. God.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, dear.

Well, behind puns.
