I can't find any way to make beriberi work for this.Originally Posted by prendrelemick
"Beriberi" Translates from the native language where the disease was first documented (Singhalese) as "I can't I can't". ( According to University Challenge t'other week.)

Could 25 be Lemmon Lime? (Lyme disease)
I've tried to come up with something fiendish to get us to Christmas at least. It's so difficult to judge whether one's made it too hard or too easy.
Ready? This might need some lateral thinking, some internet research and some cooperation.
Each of these clues - some of which are straightforward and some of which are a bit cryptic - leads to an answer. The answers form four groups of three, with one over. What is the odd answer?
1. An impromptu gathering to lose the smog.
2. The state of swamp cabbage.
3. Girl told to let her hair down, regardless of her father's occupation.
4. "I’m the hero," he says lassitudinously.
5. She was evilly winked at by a snake of a guy.
6. "Will you be my friend?" is his spirited request.
7. Once tipped on Wilshire and North Vine.
8. Flighty Florence and Myrtle.
9. "Good grief!" he says roundly.
10. His opening line: It was a dark and stormy night...
11. A tempting metaphorical girl heading west.
12. A lopazoo on the coast.
13. A southern girl with two left feet.

Have I made this so difficult that no one knows where to start?
No, no... just savoring the image of swamp cabbage. Which apparently is a real thing and not a rude euphemism.
