Tough, Uncompromising
5 February, 2016
Two months back, Nutmeg in The Guardian served up this clue:
Outwardly tough, uncompromising ruffian (4)
Nothing too tough in that mischief, but the curious cat in me wondered if any other words could be described, or defined, in a similar way. EGOS, say, could be labelled as Emerging odious.
MOSS, as in Kate, could be labelled as Metro-Sasssiness.
A stretch, but that's our Friday fanarkle: to depict or define a given word or person by both words, and extremities. Can it be done? Or will Nutmeg's thuggish precedent prove too tough, too uncompromising? Give it bash.
