Re: Henny Penny
am I stuck for one after being stuck on one for so long? Well, in the euphoria of finally getting it (after a futtocking long time) I have dreamed up several goodish ones, usually while in bed, then forgotten them. Anyway, if you have another, go ahead! Maybe just a leetle bit easier this time tho'?Tetenterre wrote:Hey, animist, are you stuck for one?

Yup, "futtock" makes a marvellous expletive, not least because people think that I've sworn when I haven't.

Re: Henny Penny
Yes. The second part is actually two clues to the same thing.

Re: Henny Penny
What is the word for a painting that has been altered, as evidenced by some of the original image remaining? Alternatively, what type of Journey did John Simon write about?

pentimental! When you mentioned John Simon, I thought of the interwar Liberal politician of that nameTetenterre wrote:What is the word for a painting that has been altered, as evidenced by some of the original image remaining? Alternatively, what type of Journey did John Simon write about?

Here is another one before I forget it; it is mainly francophone (but the two main words are used widely in English):

First one: just gone down a dead end by confusing Zanzibar (an E African island) with Dar es Salaam (which isn't)... will think more tomorrow.
The second one: Entrepreneur Contre [something]?

first one - think big as well as more; second one - yes, and the last word relates to a kind of French 19C hipsterTetenterre wrote:First one: just gone down a dead end by confusing Zanzibar (an E African island) with Dar es Salaam (which isn't)... will think more tomorrow.

correct. The missing word in the other one: it has been applied to Baudelaire, Wilde, Eliot and more recently to Nicholas "Black Swan" TalebTetenterre wrote:Madagascar had a Lascar?

Re: Henny Penny
sorry to prolong your agony, TT, but it is hard to give clues about a foreign word, and ISTM one which is an agent noun but which lacks a parent verb. Hope this helpsTetenterre wrote:Another clue needed, methinks...
(later) it rhymes with "planner" - and I really do mean "rhymes", as only the initial letter differs

Re: Henny Penny
Must be a word I don't know then, as I've been from "alanner" to "zlanner"
(also, if it rhymes with "planner", it doesn't rhyme with "entrepreneur")
A bit later: Ah! Entrepreneur contre flâneur
(clue could have been "sounds like it might have something to do with quiche" )
Right, let me think....
