15 Audited Accounts and Adjusted Losses?
(I know the feminine version of the All Mouth one......)
<duplicate post>
Nope. It has to do with the expression of cost. To be honest, I nearly didn't include this remaining one because I don't think it's as neat a 'listy' thing as the others. If no one's got it by this evening, I'll give the answer and we'll move on.Quote:

If you're thinking of FC&NK, I'd say that that wasn't quite like AM&NT, which is about failure to deliver on a boast, whereas FC&NK is more to do with a high likelihood of delivery despite pretensions to the contrary.Quote:

An arm & a leg.
Kasie's go, I think.
So obvious - when you know the answer.
Ah, gee, thanks, Mark.......

I'll smugly pick off the easy ones before I leave for work...

Well done - I think you'd better be preparing the next puzzle. :smile5:

That'll be 'one of three', given the clue. Now I have to look it up to see which of you is right.
(I'm not suggesting for an instant that I'd've got it either way, though I should have.)
I standoth corrected.

I really want to raise an objection about the lack of U.S. poetry in this puzzle. HOWEVER, I only know the beginning of maybe three U.S. poems, and I don't really have too many at all memorized from whatever country, and for all I know half of this puzzle does actually consist of U.S. poems.
