What's lost can often be
REGAINED

(That one's full of anger: -I gives ENRAGED.
Worse still, I->D gives DERANGED !)

I plead ignorance, but I did not know we could have
two words, yet I have not been on this thread long
enough to ever see the roolz.

We can't. That's why it's "no cigar." Not a valid next step. Not in bolded.

We return you now to your regularly scheduled programming.

I'm sorry, but "not in bolded"? I don't understand.
and I don't get the ducks and cigars. I am a pretty
simple person, don't read between the lines very well.

TEACHER

As for duck and in bold: Duck is what you should do to avoid being hit by a RICOCHET. Bold is like this as opposed to ordinary text. My "next word"s are most often in bold to indicate that that's my answer. A word NOT BOLD is a comment meaning "this one's close but breaks one rule of another and so doesn't really qualify." In other words, it's close, but no cigar.

OK, thanks for the explanation I think. I thought the
duck and cigar had something to do with Groucho Marx.

PHRASE




-my favorite way to work these is on a yellow legal pad
with a pencil. I read your note,Candy, somewhere and this
is a reply to it.

-I cannot find it on Amazon, but that conversation is
long past, so that's OK.
