0 Guest Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Since "try not to hear" has thrown PG off, maybe it has done the same for others as well. I changed that line, hoping it will help. Mocking and scoffing, jeer. Witty jest, not very sincere. Quite sarcastic and sharp, A really cunning remark. A practical joke, a trick. A real gibe, make it stick. Don't know if this will help or make it more difficult. If the 2nd line is confusing, it would still be solvable without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Great guesses PG and Jkb, but those are words we could hear from day to day. The one I am looking for wont be heard very often, if at all. (I can't remember the last time I heard it.) PG, you are definitely going the right direction with those. Jkb, try going back in the other directions you have tried. Thanks for keeping this'n alive guys! Edit: typos and such.
