Good CW,good blogging,good Saturday. Thank you all.
ReplyDeleteRamesh- nothing for non-regulars?
11A: DD.
ReplyDeleteGets/Outside food.
10A not 11
DeletePartially correct. There's more to it. When you put food inside you, you are getting 'outside ' that food. So, ace. On the surface, it means gets food from restaurant etc, ie non home food. Wodehouse frequently used this construct: "e got outside some eggs and bacon
Delete"Get outside of" is an informal phrase to mean to go out and eat/drink.
DeleteIt's DD but gets outside/food.
Thanks Kishore and Prasad.
DeleteAha moment about PGW- though I have read and enjoyed it I could not connect it here.
Delete26A. Ransacks.. but itsmeaning is not found ( managed )?
ReplyDeleteManaged =ran
DeleteBags=sacks
Rifles =ransacks
Thanks sir. Rifles, I mistook as a noun and went on a WGC....
ReplyDeleteThat Maragaret is Peg ( I couldn't gulp it-) and Ouija is out and out new word. Thanks for the same..As an aside, incognito makes the day ( to me) very bright..🙂
ReplyDeletePeg is a nickname for Margaret, though it sounds nothing like it
DeleteYou might like to get outside a Margaret from Captain. Amarinder Singh's birthplace 😀
DeletePlease ignore full stop after full form of Capt. Autocorrect is displaying its presence
DeleteWhy a peg particularly from there? (Patiala?)

DeleteRe. Ouija,an old event. Two uncles of mine brought a planchet (ie a board the shape of a triangle with a pencil screwed in,with a small wheelarangement) place on a sheet of paper and the two will touch it and wait.Then the gadget will start scribbling some thing. Then you write asking ,say, the no. Of steps in our house staircase and it will write out the correct no.Sometimes it wil be cranky and write some nonsense. This was a big hit those days! Does anyone with similar experience?
DeleteI asked, "will you tell the truth?"
DeleteIt said, "no, never "
😀
Thank you Kishore for the link on Patiala peg. Hadn't heard about it.
DeleteReplaying to Kishore 16:04 message-Oh yes, it would respond cleverly.After a long time it asked them to drop it in a well in the house for freedom!
DeleteMargret=peg is new to me also. Can someone explain what is behind it?
ReplyDeleteResponse wrongly placed above at 10:48
DeleteThank you Kishore.
DeleteJust googled it. Several informal transformations including one to French (for daisy)
ReplyDeleteQuite complicated- simple to remember it is so in CW's!
+1
ReplyDeleteHow is 7D a DD?
ReplyDeleteMe too have a doubt. Qualitatively both are opposite in meaning!
DeleteA boss is a stud in the centre of a shield!
DeleteAlso the stud at the front end of a gun on which the bayonet is fixed is called Bayonet boss
DeleteDear Mr. Kishore Rao,
ReplyDeleteIn tune with 'Better Late Than Never', I logged in just now and must thank you for letting me learn a new word today in 14-D. Well, I erred in 16-D by reckoning it as SPOTS and in the process filled 19-A as STEPS ON.
An easy puzzle today: I was disappointed to be able to solve all the clues in my head, without having to fill in the grid. It's more fun to have to scratch one's head a bit and come at a clue from different angles.
