> [@panache45](#): > > Printer’s mutton This one’s delightfully esoteric – I’d normally consider it a bit too jargony for my tastes, but it’s an original clue I was not expecting and cute to boot. (A quad is a printer’s term for a space [originally referring to the metal spacer itself] – either an em or and en, and en em quad is also known as a “mutton quad.” I had to look that up – I was aware of the printer’s term “quad” but not “mutton.”) Off to you @panache45 ---

Hmm…they’re all good but I like the angle of this one: > [@Rebo](#): > > Whistle at Fried Green Tomatoes? **Rebo** gets the next round. Mind you, with a bit of tweaking this could have won… > [@SunUp](#): > > Organ pipe set Somewhat disappointed you didn’t go with “Part of a large organ you pull”, but I accept that not everyone’s mind is in the gutter like mine is. ---
