Daily puzzles/problems.

10: Hoi polloi
14: Tutu?
15: Pitter-patter
22: Aye-aye!
23: Top-notch?

Well done, RH, but I had something different in mind for 23 (3,4-5).

3 tip-top

5 topsy-turvy

7 willy-nilly

12 not tittle-tattle

13 cha-cha-cha

17 georgie porgy

19 pell-mell ?

21 aye aye (the marmosetty thing)

Well done, Mark, yes to 3, 7, 13, 19 and 21 (it's a lemur!) but I had something different in mind for 5 (though I wish I'd thought of your solution) - 4-4 - and 17 - 4,4.

2. flip-flop
5. mish-mash
8. nitty-gritty (urgh, second word doesn't fit)
9. knickknack

12 . chit-chat

18. In Brit, 'select address' might be 'des res', but that's (3, 3).

23. The bees' knees. That possessive apostrophe prompts me to wonder how many bees are involved. Which in turn leads me to the realisation that I have never once in fifty years typed that phrase, otherwise I'd have wondered before now. Tell you what - let's avoid it all together and go for the dog's balls.

2. swim-suit




It may have already been got!

4. slip slap slop
11. Hoity toity or upper class
7. Willy nilly
16. dilley dalley (spelling?) or shilly shally

Well done, everyone - just five left. I think I'll edit no 17 to just "Puddin'", because I agree 'Georgie Porgy' fits the old clue better but it wasn't quite what I had in mind.

1. zig-zag

17. Tart' tata'

No, Mick (17) - nothing like as posh - good solid British fare, this one.

No Mark (6) but I like it and it could have been. And (20)? Er, no, not quite ..... but, again, I like it!

So - only, 17, 18 and 20 left.
