Reversed Rebuses
We've all seen a rebus like "midstuckdle" (stuck in the middle). The following clues are "revrebuseserse" (rebuses in reverse). That is, the clues below are answers to rebuses which all use the "in" construction.
However, the original rebus from the clues below will actually form a word. For example, "Not old in actually existing" would be "renewal" (new in real). Can you solve the rest?
1. A set of three in a gentle, affectionate gesture
2. Something used in clothes-making in beer
3. A repeated muscular contraction in arriving after the expected time
4. Help in male homo sapiens.
5. A mountain summit in the production of vocal melodies
6. Not on in a water-dwelling animal

That was good! You sure stumped me.
How can "not on" be "in" - that just sucks. "not on" is "off". Spoils an otherwise amusing diversion
Ummm a fish is not an animal and I have to agree that 'not on' being 'in' seems a little 'off'. All the same though, that was an awesome puzzle. Much fun. I got half of them before my impatience got the better of me and I gave up. Good job!
What are you talking about??? Fish are animals!
Although I loved the teaser, I am more interested in knowing what morfQ thinks a fish is...perhaps a plant, or an element?
Great teaser Mad . One of your best
Uhh, rashad, it's actually my teaser, not Mad's...
I personally thought these were thoroughly impossible. I mean, cmon, a "pat?" I was definitely thinking "hug." Of course, I've never seen (or even heard of) a rebus before, so that could be part of the reason I found it so difficult...
I think what the guy was confusing was "animal" with "mammal.." I'm pretty sure fish aren't mammals. Could be wrong though!

#2 was tough - thought it was 3 words combined into one... (something used = old, clothes-making = sewing, beer = ale....alsewoldinge)
