Could Harlequin explain post 6 please...

pastille: I assume it's:
For- PRO
to understand- DIG
everything- ALL
except L- apparently abbr for lexicography

aristo,

Could you run the explanation of your post 15 by me please, I'm looking at an anagram of 'Loading' I think, but 'nipper' escapes me. Cheers pal.

pastille,

I read Harliquin's as follows

For = Pro
understand = dig (as in "to dig it")
everything = al(l) except or take away the final 'L' for lexicography.

Only thing is, I don't see where 'Lexicography' means 'L',
Is it a recognised abbreviation somewhere? I will stand corrected if so

Hello, Les.
Reckless, freeloading nipper left penniless (8)
I wanted to hyphenate freeloading but figured it would still work this way.
Reckless: definition
free- (anagram indic) loading nipper
left penniless: remove PENNI from loading nipper and you have an anagram of PRODIGAL.

Thank you gentlemen...

I vote for bbm2 post 18.


Julian and Sandy vote for pastille post 27 :)

More accurately, you have the LETTERS for PRODIGAL.

Aristophanes will burn in hell for his clue in post 15. And it receives the Inquisitorial vote.
