ReplyDelete8A DEAF EAR {DEA(-D)+FEAR}
ReplyDelete8A- deaf ear
ReplyDeleteDef.- Turn (this) to ignore
Briefly numb- Dead- D
Terror- Fear
25A TIFFIN (Tiff)(in)
ReplyDelete25A- Tiffin- Meal
ReplyDeletePet- Tiff?
At home- in
I have a bit of doubt about pet leading to tiff.
It is Tiff = pet. I checked it on Chambers before making the clue.
DeleteChambers ---
Deletetiff

disagreement, squabble, row, difference, difference of opinion, quarrel, words, dispute, temper, ill-humour, sulk, tantrum colloq. falling-out, huff, scrap, set-to, pet, barney, spat
Dr SN, very nice cryptic with elegant clueing, as usual.
DeleteYou have it perfectly right. "In a pet", which originated in the Victorian era, means to be in a petulant mood - stroppy, moody and stamping one's little foot.
Thank you Sir!
DeleteDr.SN is one to look forward to. Thank you Doctor.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot! :)
DeleteThank you. Just had a doubt. I did not check dic. before raising the doubt since time was running out to complete. It fitted in correctly.
ReplyDeleteDoctor's prescription for the day! Very effective!! Except for a small niggle at 7Dn...the parsing part had me tied up in knots!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sir!
