HIRCINE

Damn LIS, you've got a prolific vocabulary! That's the word I was lusting for.

[Nikyma]

And only one remains unsolved.

#9 . 13 letters - arousal caused by teasing.

[Guest]

Nicely played! And LIS wins the prize for dirtiest mind on brainden....unless you include me.

Kudos to you.

Sorry about Nayana, I guess I got a little carried away with the dashes.

[Guest]

nice vocabulary lesson, Nikyma I am looking forward to more of ur puzzles

[Nikyma]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was afraid it might be a little too sassy and get me in trouble with the moderators, but I guess I stayed on the right side of the boundaries.

I'll have to do some more research and come up with some new ones soon. Of course, some research is not so tedious, hehehehe!

[Guest]

Yes, great puzzle!!

Except for the commentary after the one I got right - is it that obvious?!

One only has to look at your profile to see that. Look at all those ladies!

Your puzzles have 40 possible answers and you're gonna complain when I'm looking for a particular word? Besides, rhino bootie is two words; neither of which are obscure.

Love your sense of humor.

[Nikyma]

My sense of humor is fine, it's my patience level that's lacking; as yours has on a few of your puzzles when challenged.

This needs to be further discussed on the OTHER forum and all are entitled to their own opinion. Compete elsewhere. P.S. If anyone should suffer from high blood pressure, do not drink and see your doctor immediately. Peace out.
