Fun style of teaser, Doc.
Maybe it's an american thang but whats a Welter Weight when its at home (or elsewhere for that matter)
welterweight is a boxing term. I have never heard the first one listed.
This is a Double Treat
The first one is a term for someone who informs on another. It is somewhat derogatory and often used by children. Glad you liked them though.
Nice teaser. I had Baby Boom and Sesame Street but I couldn't get 10.
Nice puzzle but I'm not familiar with pet peeve.
Thanks.
A pet peeve is something that irks you or upsets you more than most things, even though it's usually minor, such as lousy drivers, your spouse putting the toilet paper on the opposite way you do, leaving the cap off the toothpaste. Usually little things, but something that really bothers you anyway.

I really enjoyed this one! Would like to see more of them. Makes you think but not so difficult that it is impossible to solve. Good job!
