Can anyone help me with the last clue please?


4d One speaking affectedly about utensil (6)

M ? N ? E ? I did wonder if the answer could be mincer which fulfils the utensil aspect but not the speaking affectedly. Many thanks.

Chambers Dictionary has "speak affectedly" under "mince".

Mincer works for both.

Def 3 here :

Mince


1. To walk with very short steps or with exaggerated primness.
2. To speak in an affected way.

Thank you very much indeed Mamya.
