Great teaser, had a little trouble with the first one, but the other two were fairly easy.
Good one Fish. The first one was hard for me.
nice one fish, missed 2nd one
I'm happy to say I found this quite easy!
I've never heard of the first half of the first one. The others I got easily.
Interesting,but quite easy.
sorry, basketcase is not a word, it is a phrase, all the others are stand alone words, that made it grammaticaly incorrect, but still cute
Good one! I only got the third
answer, & I tried for awhile
Very Interesting!

Slipstream? Never REALLY heard of that one, interesting... and is it just me or is basket-case a phrase and not a word?
Slipstream:
1. The airstream pushed back by a revolving aircraft propeller.
2. The airstream generating reduced air pressure and forward suction directly behind a rapidly moving vehicle.
Looking up a word > Assuming it does not exist

I had breadbun buncase can I have that?
Pretty easy, but pretty good..
2 out of 3 for me. I like these language ones.
Thought first one was slip out, as in I'm gonna slip out while the boss isn't looking.
Like everyoine else, I never heard of slip stream. Please explain what that is. The other two were very easy.
didn't get the first one, got the second one a split second before I clicked get answers, the third one was easy.
I settled on "under" for the first one. I believe there is a crumb case - oreo makes them.
Babe, A slipstream is a region behind a moving object in which a wake of fluid (typically air or water) is moving at velocities comparable to the moving object,
I don't random word guessing well. I need something more to get my brain to match up words.
Like the song goes, 2 outta 3 ain't bad!
Thought first one was slip out, as in I'm gonna slip out while the boss isn't looking.
Fun and entertaining teaser; I got two out of three - never heard of "slipstream".
Glad you liked it.
Ooph. I was not smart today. I only got Wise. Had to kick myself when I saw the answers. They were not obvious, but completely legit. No stretching. This is a very good puzzle.
Thank you. I am glad you liked it.
this one I didnt get, but it sure was a lot of fun trying!
Otherwise got me! But pretty good teaser.
