ReplyDeleteCUT NAYS spoonerism
spoonerism is nut cays?
DeleteSree_sree@11:08 No, spoonerism of NUT CASE would be CUT NAYS as mentioned above
Deleteisnt it "cut nase" pronounced "nut case" nays to nase also spoonerism?
DeleteMy understanding - the Spoonerism can be a nonsensical phrase for the original phrase (which of course has to be meaningful, and is also the def for the clue). So in this case it is clearly NUTCASE which is the def (on the left) and cut nays is the spoonerism

Lovely enjoyable CW. Thank you Amrita. Had an enjoyable Sunday morning.
ReplyDeleteRide in the Rolls Royce was good!
Amrita is in Germany at present so I suppose we will get a delayed response to the queries.
ReplyDeleteNotwithstanding, thanks to Amrita for the entertainment
Thanks for the entertainment Amrita!
ReplyDeleteThanks of course to Col.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the goof up. Vasant is right. This CW was made by Amrita and Arun and I had featured it on the blog on 27 Nov 16. My apologies to all of you and to Amrita.
ReplyDeleteThe goof up took place because of my recent laptop crash due to which I had to recover files from my back up and I seem to have picked up the wrong file from the back up.
The correct CW will now be published next week.
As a corollary to the above we need to appreciate Vasant's memory 👏👏
Delete🙏🙏🙏🙏
DeleteYes, I too had the deja vu feeling when I saw the H&M clue. But I thought it might have appeared in 1across.
DeleteNevertheless, it is good to solve again!
Wow what a memory Vasant!
DeleteThanks Ramki Sir!
