@Whyme: No offense, but you should really look the words up before coming out like that. If you are going to be supercilious about expressing your opinion on D's choice of words, then it should be certain that he was being sesquipedalian.
BTW, great one D. I like this line of yours. A lot.
Heh, thanks Coda... your views are considerably concomitant with mine regarding whyme's high dudgeon towards this issue.
i do not know which i enjoyed more... the teaser or the new words to be learned. more than one and a half feet for sure.
Really loved this puzzle, especially since you gave such an excellent clue that I was able to work it out! Thanks!
Cheers Kara
I can never get these ones, but I always try! Good job D^
Thanks Kalli... they certainly can be tricky hey. Once you get 'em or see the answer they are real 'forehead smackers' generally accompanied by a DOH! ;)
That's exactly right. I think I've only ever figured out 2 out of ten or so I've seen, but I still like them!
Thanks phrebh, good to know you keep on trying
