Waymeet?

William Cloud Hicklin · 05-09-2019, 11:06 AM

Aha! WAYMEET - I dimly recall tennis coaches hopelessly encouraging me to "meet" the ball (to no avail)

Pervinca Took · 05-09-2019, 11:14 AM

Not Waymeet.

Didn't mean to mislead you. It isn't a *proper* tennis term I'm looking for.

Urwen · 05-09-2019, 11:48 AM

There isn't any place which contains 'way' remaining, though......

Pervinca Took · 05-09-2019, 11:52 AM

Not 'way,' no. But there are ways of indicating a way.

William Cloud Hicklin · 05-09-2019, 11:56 AM

OK, here's a real stretch: WINDWHISTLE? That's at least the sound of it....

Unless you're trying to make the ball a FAR THING

Pervinca Took · 05-09-2019, 12:00 PM

No.

The phrase could also apply to a cricket, rounders/baseball, snooker, billiards or pool ball.

It's a kind of element that we use all the time on this thread.

Urwen · 05-09-2019, 02:09 PM

'FOR'? As in, 'for him', 'for her' etc.

Urwen · 05-09-2019, 02:09 PM

Or maybe 'returning' or something similar?

Urwen · 05-09-2019, 02:11 PM

Hint please?

William Cloud Hicklin · 05-09-2019, 02:14 PM

Okay, all I got is LONGBOTTOM

Pervinca Took · 05-09-2019, 02:23 PM

If you ask the way, you ask the ...

Urwen · 05-09-2019, 02:24 PM

Direction?

Urwen · 05-09-2019, 02:24 PM

East Road?

Pervinca Took · 05-09-2019, 02:32 PM

Try an abbreviation for a direction.

William Cloud Hicklin · 05-09-2019, 02:36 PM

Dwaling????????? When you "wale" on something you hit it hard, so D + WALING, I guess

Pervinca Took · 05-09-2019, 02:44 PM

D isn't a direction!

Look at a map of the Shire. You can find one online.

Urwen · 05-09-2019, 02:48 PM

Okay, compass says 'M' 'N', 'T' and 'P', but I don't see how that helps......

Pervinca Took · 05-09-2019, 02:49 PM

M T P?

Never heard of those as compass points.

Urwen · 05-09-2019, 02:54 PM

Oh. I see. Cheeky......

Final answer: Whitwell (W+HIT+WELL)

Pervinca Took · 05-09-2019, 03:01 PM

Yes!!!!!!!!!!

William Cloud Hicklin · 05-09-2019, 04:20 PM

All right, I have a few things to do so it will be a bit before I get the next one up

William Cloud Hicklin · 05-09-2019, 08:53 PM

Okay, ladies and gentlemen, let's go!

1. Arab handmaid ate Jewish pastry- the upset produced a fiend
2. Get out? Nein! He's backwards!
3. Remember England; he was in there.
4. Bluetooth gets garbled after tea, so you'll have to unscramble him
5. He's like, "Crazy beach, crazy!"
6. Glam rocker without even thinking- he was the first and might be the last
7. Key crew! Activity will reveal him
8. He's a dunce on one side

Galadriel55 · 05-09-2019, 09:11 PM

3. Beren

Galadriel55 · 05-09-2019, 09:13 PM

5. Sounds like Fingolfin or Finarfin, by the word pattern. Can't reason which though.
