THEME: Intrusive FL in phrases yielding humorous ones
GOOD ONES: Salutation to an out-of-shape friend? DEARFLABBY [still laughing]
Turkeys no one knows about? COVERTFLOPS [turkeys can mean bombs or flops]
Mobile phone site? Abbr. ALA [city of Mobile]
Flower bed wetter RAIN [my last thought, of course]
Nuclear family? ATOMBOMBS
Big wheel in delis GOUDA
Common quality? SENSE [not as common as one may hope]
BTW: LLB is not issued in the U.S. For some reason we went from Bachelor's degree to Doctoral, yet we don't call lawyers doctors.
I read
Macbeth closely and yet don't recall his burial at IONA. Perhaps in real life...
Excessively fond of PARTIALTO ["partial to" does not connote excess; perhaps that is why "partial" has "part" as a root]
Parts of darts FLIGHTS [seems tortured --- to dart is to move quickly and suddenly while flight can be an escape or air travel --- in either case flight does not seem part of a dart --- or is there a meaning of flight synonyomus with feather?
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
