Wombat: not a dingbat
So, yeah, I was quizzing on Friday night last and I do intend to post an article about it within the next few hours.
However, I don’t want to leave you all hanging on, waiting for the answers to those difficult dingbats I posted at the start of the weekend so that’s what this post is about.
Some of them were quite difficult, although I think that was more to do with the fact that the idiom or saying involved, in my opinion, wasn’t an idiom at all.
From what I can remember, myself and my ad-hoc partner Larry scored around 24/30 and were declared the winners. “Go team!”, as we probably should have said.
So, click on the ‘Read the rest…’ link to see the answers.
Answers (from left-to-right on each line):
- Seven seas
- Split level
- Forgive and forget
- Missing you
- Downtown
- Lucky break
- He’s beside himself
- Seethrough blouse
- First aid
- The West Indies
- Six feet underground
- Backward glance
- Tricycle
- Reading between the line
- Crossroads
- Three degrees below zero
- Neon lights
- Just between you and me
- One in a milion
- Broken promise
- You’re out of touch
- Life begins at 40
- Jack-in-a-box
- Growing economy
- Up before eight
- Just around the corner
- Apple pie
- Making up for lost time
- Standing ovation

Can’t say I’ve ever heard of sayings #25 (but it’s useful) or #30 (which isn’t). What about you?
