Submitted for your approval, something a little different:

The first part of the sentence (prior to the No) defines a play on words of the answer in question. The second part (after the No) truly defines the word.

For example:
Feline buttocks commendation? No, a misfortunate event.
Answer: Catastrophe (CAT ASS TROPHY*) *with respects to Piers Anthony

Molten rock in the shape of an American colonial British loyalist?
No, a bathroom. lava tory...razz

A short rest with family members?
No, proper dining linen Nap kin...razz

Prohibited coffee?
No, an instrument. Ban Joe (banjo)...John_and_Yoko

Fauna (should have been Flora...my mistake!...Gaberax) that produces pikes?
No, an esculent avian POLE TREE...Poultry....John_and_Yoko

An angry reddish-brown horse?
No, semi-frozen juice SORE BAY...Sorbet...alinda
Here are 5 from me. If you like the format and can come up with some of your own, please share with the tribe. :)

Thanks, Maturins_Daughter. I have been toying with the idea for a couple of weeks. It was like a splinter in my finger...working its way out.

John_and_Yoko, your ability reminds me of Sherlock Holmes..."Eliminate all other factors, and the one which remains must be the truth." -- The Sign of the Four :)

No, a ham operator's tool

John_and_Yoko
06-09-2008, 08:03 PM
Radio (raid Io)? That pretty much works written but not spoken, if that's right....

Hmmm I'm not sure that "it's a southern thing" would be a fair clue for belt buckle. People wear belt buckles all over the country. And even if you're talking about the huge western wear buckles, you see those in Montana and Wyoming as well as the south. Maybe "It's a western thing" would've been closer to the mark :)
