Title: LAT Fri. 7/17 Dan Naddor
Post by: magus on July 17, 2009, 09:04:28 AM
Lots of Good Ones!

"Sicily's capital?"   ESS
"Miss equivalent?"   MILE ["a miss is as good as a mile"]
"Take down unit?"    PEG ["take down a peg"]
"Beast with a rack"   STAG
"Work for Money, maybe"    EDIT [note capital M: magazine name]
"What a yenta exam does?"   TESTONESMEDDLE [loved this theme answer]

With "yenta," "hora," "ELAL," and "LATKES," I wonder if Dan has recently been reading Sholem Aleichem.  Given the 1920's expressions "putting on the dog" and "pinch" (for being arrested), it's possible.
