    Skewer... something? "(&lit)" means take it literally, right?

    Beautiful is better than ugly. Explicit is better than implicit. Simple is better than complex. Complex is better than complicated. Flat is better than nested. Sparse is better than dense. In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.

    Yes, a littoral clue is the hardest to write, so I am pleased with myself!

      Is that another clue or a typo?!

        That was an oops. I meant, of course, literal. Nothing to do with the sea. (Unless you put a C in front of it).

            Stoppit, you're making me miss drinking. Sober since May 1st this year, and still going strong. People ask me "Does it feel much better?" And I'm like "No, it's about the same really. I have less tolerance for wasting my time with asinine meaningless questions though..." and give them a dark look. Christmas with the family is going to be tough.

            You'll make it! :thumbsup: One of the things which really surprised me, was that I slept so much better when I stopped drinking - even though I sleep less in terms of hours!

              I can't think of a euphemism that fits so I'll guess (in keeping with this week's Christmas theme): Turkey Dinner

                        What is the catchphrase in English: "With everything ?" maybe ? In Germany : "Mit allem ? (und scharf ?)" In France : "Salade Ognion Tomate ?" Wild guess : Sliced turkey ?

                              Fortunately nature has provided an in-built defense mechanism, but the time you have drunk enough that would, you couldn't. ;)
