plainglazed Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Find a synonym for each word of the two word clues that together result in a recognizable two word answer where each of those words are in some sense synynomous to each other. for example - Recognize Surroundings --> Place Setting Support Position Ring Prediction Jealous Nut Part Proof Spring Initiation Waste Away Tolerates Winning Stuck With Expired Account Clean Sweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOUNG OFFSPRING RAW = YOUNG (inexperienced) FRUIT = OFFSPRING ([archaic definition]) YOUNG = OFFSPRING (children) would say this one qualifies as an alternative. especially since I kind of bungled this one myself.

0 Molly Mae Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Donno if it's been guessed, but Half Truth to close this one out? EDIT: Rofl. It was guessed. It's good to know that Past Molly and Present Molly think alike. Edited December 23, 2011 by Molly Mae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Donno if it's been guessed, but Half Truth to close this one out? EDIT: Rofl. It was guessed. It's good to know that Past Molly and Present Molly think alike. well then i guess i will have to say still not it. thanks for the bump tho. @pg Is that something that everyone should know? are you asking about the hint or the original clue? re the hint - the first part (710) is less familiar but someone already got that part of the hint; and the second part (104) i would think is common - its all in how you say it for both parts. as for the answer itself - i do think it is a fairly common phrase but i guess maybe not as much as most of the other answers.

0 WitchOfDoubt Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Well, based on that clue, the first word has got to be: Split. As in, a "7-10" split in bowling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, a "7-10" split in bowling. right on, WOD. guess i should say the "710 104" is really an alternate clue as much as a hint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 ... mayyyyybe To proof something is to screen it for typos, so maybe... split-screen? ooh, close. do see the connection between the two words in your answer - as in to separate different (sized) items of a group. probably a worthy alternative but not my intended. does give each line an answer but will leave this one open a tad longer before marking as solved.

0 plasmid Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I admit to use of google to discover that this phrase actually means something, since we only have a tad before it's marked as solved split test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plainglazed Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Awrite Wilson - and very happy and healthy New Year wishes to you as well. That is indeed the answer I had in mind. ...by example: "Good Evening, my name is Alfred and I'll be your waiter tonight. Would you care for a split check or should I put this all on one tab?" have to admit spending too much time going out so maybe not the most common phrase. as for the check part; "the ends of the freshly hewn timbers will certainly check if left out in this dry heat." and finally, 104 or "ten four"; a phase of affirmation and acknowledgement like "landing gear engaged?" "Check."
