26 Gnome is a saying - boarding (staying) minus the T (time) = saying

I didn't know that a 'gnome' is a saying/ maxim - I'd just looked it up in Chambers, having arrived at how 'saying' was reached!

Thanks for explanations, chrisg.
Had put in chinchilla but hadn't seen the chill for terrify.
Still think saying one a bit iffy with staying for boarding.
