These were the worst clues ever! This was not even fun!
Very good effort! Ignore the person above me.... >.> The clues were a little hard for me. But it was fun nonetheless! Make more!
Princess; you have no right to condone Babe. She is entitled to her own opinion!!! I enjoyed the teaser and I thought it was fairly easy.
I know why I couldn't get these. They're like crossword teasers. I was never great at crosswords but I managed. This one I couldn't. Plucky for brave??
I usually do much better! Got them except for images/mages and usage/sage Great teaser though...I love these! Thanks!
although the word condone is not usually used in a positive manner, its meaning sounds somewhat positive (to forgive, overlook, etc.)... So, exactly HOW did princess "condone" baby? Did you mean condemn? Because last I time checked princess's comment, she did not "condone" baby's comment. Unless you thought telling someone else to ignore another person's rude behavior was the same as telling them to condone it, you were mistaken.
Well done.
Missed most, but had fun trying! I had gloss (as in glossed over) and loss for the first one.
Doehead, what did you mean to say?
A fun teaser, that took a little thought, thanks!
I actually guessed surprise, which made it a simple process of elimination, regarding starting letters.
