0 plainglazed Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 holding point hey Qesh - good to see you here. think you picked a tough one. changed this clue last minute which typically brings regrets. dont really see the two words in your answer as synonomous but please correct me if so.

0 plainglazed Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Band Saw? think this one is a no. Each of the two words in the answer are definite synonyms. Just maybe not the first definitions/unexpected parts of speech/slang/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tiger_lily111 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Round About well, maybe t_l, but different than what I have. not real sure of the connection between the second word of the clue and the second word of your answer. Prediction - when referred to as ie, how long something takes, many people say "will be there in about 10 minutes" etc. Eh well. Try a few more.

Try a few more. Avid Fan Wear Down hey t_l - accept your argument and answer for the one from before. kinda see a connection with those two words in terms of an estimation as well. can also make arguments for the two new answers as well. still have different ones in mind. disclaimer - one of the words in my answer for the "Jealous Nut" clue is more of a type than a synonomous word. sorry bout that. all other connections are definitie synonyms. Also - where A B --> C D; A and C, B and D , C and D are synonomous BUT any three are not necessarily so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) joined together that one works and was what I had, too. sweep clean wouldn't put it past me on the last one. this one is different. the two words to the answer I have in mind might be considered doubly synonomous; with two completely different definitions sorry, been neglecting this thanks for mentioning but no worries. I have been somewhat, also. knew this one was pretty tough. partially because it was quite difficult to come up with qualifying answers. Also, because of that, I thought there wouldn't be so many alternatives. maybe just a bad puzzle. Dead End? hey benjer3 - thanks for playing. I was skeptical of the relationship between the second words but looked up account and discovered "to account for" something can mean to put out of action; kill. So, okay.

0 plainglazed Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 throw down??? hey EDM - thanks for giving this one a go. the more I think about it, the more I see the relationship between the first words - as in to give up an opportunity. yes, that would be an acceptable alternative.
