This one has been haunting me. The farthest I get is “brow”, for brow-beat and brow ridge. But I can’t work it out with spare.

Is this one “current”?

49

Yes to the second. I’ll put you out of your misery for the first: Rib.

Another:

  • Security system
  • Chair
  • Branch
  • Gun

I’m not getting “cajole,” which means to wheedle. I’m aware of rib to mean “tease,” but that’s not the same as “cajole.”

[/QUOTE]

I admit, I fumbled that. I was trying to outsmart myself by not using “tease” for being to easy and, it being late, I came up with a perfectly good malapropism.

I should have said “bug” or “needle” or something. :slight_smile:

56

Okay, no prob – It’s not that unusual for two words to share a synonym and yet not be synonyms to each other. Nuance is so … subtle sometimes.

57

[QUOTE=OneCentStamp]
…scotch?
[/QUOTE]

Yup. I’d hoped that “foil” would make it hard. (To “scotch” a plan is to foil it.) Back to the drawing board.

That’s why I love English. Nuances are fun. :slight_smile:

  • Eliminate
