Title: Fri., 4/12 Julian Lim
Post by: magus on April 12, 2013, 09:58:01 AM
THEME:   phrases with reversal of first words meaning an anatomical joint
   
GOOD ONES:     
Filing option {and theme}   JOINTRETURN [this timely IRS reference uses the idea of "return" to mean "backwards," which may bother some purists]   
Skittish NBC show   SNL   
Causes a stink   REEKS [literally]   
   
   
BTW:   
Julian caused me to question my initial answers until I finally realized the words were spelled backwards.  The JOINTRETURN answer did not help me at all.    

AVANTI should have been clued to refer to the Italian product rather than the verbal.   

"la cara" and OJOS are purely Spanish.   

"Awesome!"   NICE [pity the non-native leaners of our language]   
   
RATING:    ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
