Interesting idea, but the clue gives away too much. It's too obvious.
I didn't actually get it..;; can anyone explain 4 me plz?
Me too, never heard of that phrase before
"Close, but no cigar" is an old phrase that means coming disappointingly close to success, only to miss it.
The last line of the rebus represents the shortest distance (hence "close"), but is not followed by a cigar. All of the other three lines are followed by another name for "cigar", but the last one is followed by "nothing" (hence, no cigar).
Hope this helped a bit.
