Many thanks to Foggyweb for allowing me to wear SHEATH with pride.
On to our next challenge and I have the feeling this will cause some head-scratching. I mean, it can't be easy to invent something scurrilous from:
TEMPORARY
Can it?

Maybe transient secretary is emotional having had member (organ, rigid initially) inserted. (9)
transient secretary = example of temporary 'temp', emotional = TEARY containing MP=member +O(rgan) R(igid) |

Not many attempts at this and not surprising. TEMPORARY looks like a decent set of letters and for standard clues it offers plenty; but that's not what we want. We want filthy. OK, indecent perhaps. I gave it a go myself and came up with nada, so congratulations to everyone who submitted.
In the end, a close call between two; Boxwood's excellent offering:
Brief fucked Tory MP and Earl after Liberal left (9)
A very nice image of what REALLY goes on in the corridors - sorry, up the passageways - of power.
But my winner, for its amusing succinctness (try typing that when you're blotto), has to be the delightful little nugget from Boaz:
For passing wind, report Amy (9)
Not just a great image, but superb understanding of deceptive wordplay technique with the "wind" misdirection. I can smell a winner a mile off...
Congratulations and thanks Boaz - now it's over to your good self for challenge #019. _________________ Start every day with a smile and get it over with. |
