I had the first five but not #6. I actually thought of steamroll but the count was wrong; I'd never thought of steamroller as a verb. There it is in Chambers, though. Doesn't make sense to me. A steamroller steamrolls. It's like saying that you cutter through something.

Just a final peek in before I hit that old virtuous couch.

Steam-roller is there in Chambers as a verb. It's also in The C.Oxford Dict as a verb (without the hyphen).

However, my answer was not steamroller but COBBLESTONE (see earlier).

Eat well during the festive season! :))

Nite-nite. J

Ah Yes! You saw it in Chambers. It's really time to retire. I'm not even reading the posts correctly. zzzzzzzzzzz

I realize that it wasn't the right answer, Jolan. I was just saying that I'd thought of that other answer too and was commenting on how the word doesn't make sense to me- there's such an obvious (and shorter) verb form.

Seasons greetings to all....not been checking in for ages... But was "lured" in by Les's Xmas J.E.

Just checking in for info and saw this post.

So miss you all, but I have to behave myself.

Warmest thoughts and wishes to Jolan, Helen and your nearest and dearest.

I will risk a kissypoo....
