Crash! Bang! Wallop! [BB336]

imagesCAALT2DU Back to our customary cacophony for this Brain, where your challenge is to replace one word in each cluster with its associated sound in order to create a familiar phrase.

Not clear? UPLION, for one, will turn into UPROAR, while TAIRCONB could morph into THUMB. Can you conquer the whole brouhaha?

  1. vacowse
  2. pipmouse
  3. shyenater
  4. doorbell battle
  5. hocatard
  6. maraven
  7. pwindow
  8. whippot
  9. cymbal mat
  10. credit celery
  11. balloon star
  12. jet lens

SOLUTION NEXT WEEK
BB335 SOLUTION: Sharpshooter, shoeshine, shrewish, dishwasher, shape shifter, sheepshank, Shropshire, shell shock, shipshape, hush-hush, short shrift, wishy-washy. Other words may be kosher-ish.

We still haven't got #7.
It could be psalm if the window slams and the 'l' and 'a' were reversed. Stuck on that one.
