Ember Oct 24, 2002	nice one. a little difficult but i got it.
flynn Nov 23, 2002	Nice one! Used the clue. Still didn't get it. Maybe I'm a little dumb, but I had to rate it hard.
(user deleted) Nov 23, 2002	very smooth
Pheonix_down Mar 03, 2003	YAY! I actually got it! Whoo hoo!
dsquared Mar 03, 2003	Thanks for the comments... well done Phoenix, it's always rewarding when you figure 'em out hey ;P .
centerofme Sep 30, 2005	the hint makes it hard maybe u could make it easier next time.
Poseidon Dec 17, 2005	you might want to put volume level then in () write (sound) because I thought it was like an encyclopedia. Other than that I thought it was great. I don't have enough points to edit or w/e.
dsquared Dec 19, 2005	Thanks Poseidon and thanks for your thoughts. I think for the moment I am still happy with it as it is.
Crazycriely Mar 14, 2006	i thought for some reason it was "easier said then done" sigh...
lmurray Aug 26, 2006	BUCUO
OldChinaHand Aug 26, 2006	Good One dd, even if 'volume' was stretch for speak.
azbee123 Aug 26, 2006	very cute! well done!!!
marschie Aug 26, 2006	HELP! What is Imurray saying?? What does "BUCUO" mean?? I didn't get the answer, btw.
utnative Aug 26, 2006	i got zilch on this one. when i saw the answer, it was plain as day. good teaser, lots of thought went into it. great great job.
utnative Aug 26, 2006	i think murray is saying that he didn't get it. but felt he had to put something down.
Tryer Aug 26, 2006	I liked this one, very clever
baph Aug 26, 2006	This is for Marschie. I looked up BUCUO. Its a form of chinese & doesn't run through basic translator software. Used in slang to mean "not bad", but translates more accurately to "no fault" or "no wrong" - hope this helps!
starnz Aug 26, 2006	My brain just didn't function on this one!! Had fun trying, though.
nu_rob_roy Aug 26, 2006	Why is Imurray still allowed to be here trashing all of these teasers??? This was a strange teaser for me, I got action and words, but that's all. I guess I getting old...nay, just too sober. Fine teaser dsquared.
Badger Aug 26, 2006	Got it, but how about: "My kids were playing very loudly while I was quietly trying to look something up in the dictionary"? Guess you'd have to be here. Very cute teaser! Thanks! (5)
builder Aug 26, 2006	OCH volume shows that actions are louder than words. We needed to add speaks ourselves. Good teaser, it didn't "click" for me.
shawneeo Aug 26, 2006	Well, I got it, I got it, I got it!!! So, of course I have nothing negative to say now. To nurob, I think its OK to leave lmurray here and just delete the really offensive ones, because then we all get a chance to kick his butt... AND, he deserves it! LOL!
bradon182001 Aug 26, 2006	Never would have fitured it out in a million years. Still not sure I get it.This was a tricky one.
bradon182001 Aug 26, 2006	Sorry for the typo. Never would have figured it out is what I meant to say.
Pizzazz2u Aug 26, 2006	This saying is an old one, my parents taught me this while I was growing up. And here I am, a middle aged young man. BTW, the teaser was superb! Once you truly learn this expression, it makes you wonder about other people.
iteachkids Aug 26, 2006	Yayyy! I got it, too ... but not without the hint first. ThanxaMILLION, DSquared, for waking up my brain today! NuRob and shawneeo - I don't even know how offended to be by lmurray's Chinese word. Maybe it is really BAD. I think I'll click it out of principal and past history.
flowerz2010 Aug 26, 2006	good one-
pcoker Aug 26, 2006	I didn't have a chance of guessing this one,it was too hard for me.Good job
jabdr Aug 26, 2006	Atheletes high?? Readers low???? Shows how far off I was. Very clever!
Wingsfan Aug 26, 2006	I didn't get this one even after the hint. That doesn't mean that I don't like it though! I think this was great!
kman613 Aug 26, 2006	Never saw that one before. Original, and took some time to figure out. Great job.
mllee1974 Aug 26, 2006	wow...got me feelin a little slow here D...great job...
(user deleted) Aug 26, 2006	if anyone cares, 'bucuo' literally means 'not wrong', which basically means 'not bad'. yeah .. i didn't get this one, but my mind isn't on today.
temisho Aug 27, 2006	hehe! i'm so freakin tired that anything is funny at this point! i had a tiring week! good one d!
FeaerFactorY666 Aug 27, 2006	Very nice!
doka13 Aug 27, 2006	wow, that was kind of tough... very intreguing though!
vlerma Aug 27, 2006	Just when I thought I had it figured out I read the answer. Wrong! Great teraser and nice job!
dsquared Aug 28, 2006	Wow, thanks so much for all the comments. I'm guessing from the deluge of 'new comments' in my inbox that this was possibly teaser of the day a couple of days ago? I'm pleased that it was enjoyable for most. I'll have to write some more some day soon.
Qrystal Aug 29, 2006	Yup, it was teaser of the day for August 26th ... and it GOT me. I might have to accept that rebuses are not my thing. I was completely stumped. I didn't even have a guess. The hint compounded my confusion. To others in my boat: let's just cast again, and see what random teaser we fish out next! Anyways, I have heard the phrase before, it just didn't come to mind at all while working on this. My fault, not yours!
dsquared Aug 29, 2006	Thanks Qrystal
fuzdigity Aug 30, 2006	Funny
dsquared Aug 31, 2006	Hehe... ta
MurfQ Aug 31, 2006	Excellent! I got it fairly quickly, my brain must be in gear this morning. Must have been the insanity wings I ate last night This was a great rebus. I haven't seen one along these lines before, which is impressive for a rebus, where it seems everything has been done.
luvdoritos706 Aug 31, 2006	herez a classic....i love that saying
dsquared Sep 01, 2006	Thanks a lot
Jimbo Oct 22, 2007	Easy but cleverly constructed!
dsquared Oct 30, 2007	Cheers
glowtmickey Jan 30, 2009	I got that in about 3 seconds ( no offense ) but still a good teaser.

leroyleroy Aug 27, 2009	I REALLY LOVED THIS AND IT IS SO TRUE.
craniac Aug 27, 2009	Nifty! It came to me in a blinding flash. Or was it a quiet whisper?
crazy10man Aug 27, 2009	It was a good try, but maybe volume could've been replaced with a synonym for speak? And that hint . . . Sure kept me guessing though!
doehead Aug 27, 2009	Good one, but words can create action.
auntiesis Aug 27, 2009	I didn't get it. It is a good one too. Maybe next time.
UptheHill Aug 27, 2009	GOOD 1, NICE!!!
avonma Aug 27, 2009	Oh, that is so GOOD! I got it right away. Very clever! Thanks!
Babe Aug 28, 2012	I too thought volume had something to do with books and could not figure that one out. Even though it means volume loud or soft I agree it is a stretch for speaking. Oh well glad you posted it keeps on teaching me about these kind if teasers.
JQPublic Aug 28, 2012	Easy but good.
bestgirl Aug 28, 2012	Volume got me to, but I liked it a lot.
gaylewolf Aug 28, 2012	I LOVED that one!!! It sure gave me a good laugh! Thanks!
