| Kind of lame. The word feed spelled backwards is feed spelled backwards, not feedback. I mean it's similar, but a rebus should be more exact.   |
solidgordy
Oct 22, 2005
| I actually got this!!!!!!! I was about to give up, then I read the hint, which didn't exactly tell me, but gave me a little more time, then it clicked. Now, now, naysayers, deef could be a million other things too, reverse feed, deep minus a p, I mean, I don't think they can be that exact, or it would be more like a math problem. I enjoyed this, I would have liked it even if I didn't get it, Thanks. |

| great job I think the point behind teasers and such is a little imagination can go a long way. To be perfectly exact would make this a science not a fun way to excercise ones brain. Thanks to all of you who make your own and to all who try them. Congrats |

| Thanks so much for all the DEEF +, and - . It's rare that you can make a teaser that will makey everyone happy. I will say for all those who had some - DEEF to give and issues with clarity that it's possible you may not have been through all that many rebus teasers. using the 'deef' and it's meaning of 'back' is a fairly simple and common way of representing a word with a rebus. Sure, it could be feed backwards or feed going back or whatever as with any synonyms. However finding the correct one is what solving any teaser is about. Thanks for all the comments |
lorelle_b
Oct 23, 2005
| YES!!!! I'm soooo bad at rebus...and I finally got one! YAY!!!! |
FulanitoGM
Oct 24, 2005
| Okay, first off, let me just say that getting the daily teaser e-mailed to you can be a mistake sometimes, because something gets lost in the translation, so to speak. When I got this e-mail, it didn't even have the "+" in front of "deef." I figured the answer had something to do with "feedback," but I was a little confused. Then I clicked on the link to see the answer, and right before I read the answer, I saw the "+" and I solved it.
Second, and lastly, I liked this teaser. I agree with the author: it doesn't have to be a literal translation for us to figure out the saying. I figured it out, and I'm about 40% on all teasers. It ain't that hard, people. |

i saw the answer and i'm looking at it going where on earth did you get "feedback" from for that :/

| CUTE, BUT ANOTHER RE-RUN. IF THERE ARE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THIS "TEASER," WILL THE AUTHOR BE OFFENDED? (HE MAY BE LONG GONE, ( 2 YEARS AGO)
HOW ABOUT MY SUBMISSION, I HAVEN'T HEARD A WORD, IT MAY NOT BE WORTH MUCH, BUT IT ISN'T A RE-RUN THAT I AM AWARE, BUT THEN I DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING, I JUST GIVE THAT IMPRESSION (hehe). |
BeckyD
Oct 23, 2006
| I think this is a really cute, and fun teaser!! Although it was pretty easy to solve after a couple of minutes of thought, it seems like SOME people, WHO WANNA TYPE IN ALL CAPS WITH NEGATIVE ATTITUDES want to put it down.... I give it 5 stars ***** for being one that doesn't frustrate an old fart like me!! |
dsquared
Oct 23, 2006
| lmurray. I've had too many negative comments on teasers by now to be offended and to answer your question with my comment here, I have been sighted more recently than 2 yrs though that was only on some documentary about Big Foot . Not sure what you mean by this being a re-run but rebuses are a bit like that anyway, a lot of the trick to solving them is knowing which rules to apply to get the answer - thanks for stopping by . |
dsquared
Oct 23, 2006
| BeckyD... I'm very pleased you liked it... from one old fart to another . Oh and I was wondering why I was getting a bunch of comments on this teaser and then realised it's TOTD ... yay for it! . |

| We have an expression hung in this office, with this expression on it. Honestly, this is an Awesome teaser, and there is return feed back at you. Have a totally Awesome day, ALL! |
dsquared
Oct 23, 2006
| Wow... timezones are funny things. It obviously became a new day somewhere in the world rather recently - let me guess, the US maybe? . Yet again, thanks so much for stopping by and letting me know what you thought. rhmaustin the 'this is offensive' link is to report those who would choose to post something that resembles unthought out abuse as opposed to + DEEF or - DEEF. It's on every teaser's comments on the site. I have no problem with people saying they didn't like it, anyone is entitled to their opinion but freedom of speech doesn't equate to freedom of tongue which I is the main reason Jake set this feature up. |
dsquared
Oct 23, 2006
| I loved the clever comments that some posted, thank you and Pizzazz2u all I can say is Wow that's amazing that some teaser I wrote is part of something hung in someone's office cubicle somewhere in the world - thanks you've made my day |

| Another Rebus TOTD (though I'm over a month behind in my Braingle emails) to make me feel unworthy....
I'm sure practice will help, and perhaps more patience than I'm willing to give -- maybe if I stop thinking I can't do these, I actually will be able to do more of them. |

Dec 24, 2006
| hahah whoa i was SOO off with that one lol. but GOOD JOB! |
dsquared
Jan 07, 2007
| Thanks for the comments. Yes, Qrystal, rebuses are classic 'practice' types of teasers and definitely require patience. They are the sort where the answer will kind of just fall into place either immediately or after moving things around in your head a bit and considering it from different angles... kind of like deciding the best way to arrange furniture in a room |
