0 Guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Martini changed it because it wasn't descriptive... and the guesses are getting a little off track again...to clarify a little peeJ, one of your guesses was close and the other not so much I'm guessing that my first guess was closest?

0 dyalDragon Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'm guessing that my first guess was closest? and i'm guessing that your correct guess about your first guess may lead you to another correct guess down the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 A cup of this, a bunch of these! A little bit more of that, would you please? How much exactly? I don't know I'm not good with exact numbers, so... My guess is the answer has to do with being inexact, eg approximations And "hedge" is an approximate rhyme with orange, so I guess hedge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Digging for tooth and nail makes me think archeology. When you're digging up fossils, when you get close to one you have to be careful not to ruin it... you have to be delicate. Maybe ginger? Can mean delicate, and it's some kinda food thing too!

Can mean delicate, and it's some kinda food thing too! thinking about digging will help, but the tooth and nail was mainly just for rhyme.... and emphasis also as i was thinking about a figurative sort of digging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Couple? You can put a couple of this, a couple of these, into wherever, and couple rhymes with purple. But I don't see the connection with the aforementioned digging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't see the connection with the aforementioned digging silver spoons getting closer.... maybe this will help the rhyme isn't with orange or purple, it's with "with orange or purple", or at least it is in some way... if i give you any more there won't be anything left to say really, but i can tell you that it is just one word that lines 1,3, and 4 all refer to in their own abstract way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 dyalDragon Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 hmm... maybe this is a little more obscure than i thought at first 1. has to do with digging and cooking 2. it can be an approximation or/for a measurement 3. it rhymes with something involved in "with orange or purple" maybe try thinking in terms of the pieces of the line instead of the individual whole words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 dyalDragon Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 spoonful? Type of measurement and you can "dig" with a spoon. right idea, but the word is the same tense/variation for all three... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
