Congrats megsmith, hope you claim 😁👍
Congratulations megsmith.
I put no good crying over spilt milk
I put don’t cry over spilt milk…
Do we have to put the exact answer that Daniel puts to get 2 entries? I put ‘no point crying over spilt milk’ but it means the same 🤷
Good Afternoon Lostkiwi. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the exact answer, as long as it is close enough! All the best, Daniel.
Thanks Daniel. That’s good to know.
Thank you Daniel. Good to know there’s a bit of leeway! 😊
Any clues for today’s? Friday.
means There’s no point in being upset over something that has already happened and can’t be undone
Yes. I got it after I saw what was on the floor!
Thank you for the clue, I had not seen what was on the floor until after I read your clue.
I wrote ‘heading into danger’ I didn’t know this person waas throwing that sign. I thought it was just blowing by the wind.
If its what I think it is, what is another word for look what is he looking at and what is he waiting for to happen. Hope that helps.
i’ve never heard of todays!!!
Me neither.
I understand what is going on in the picture but can’t think of a phrase that goes with it that I’ve ever heard of
He’s looking and waiting for something that will not happen.
Really? Maybe it’s a generation thing, this is the sort of thing that my mum or nan would say.
Thinking about it, I have used it many times, how else would you tell someone to stop anxiously waiting for it/something, time will move much faster if you get on with your life, it will happen when it happens… The phrase is much shorter and to the point, hence the need for this phrase 🥴
I agree Alison, as I tend to do with most of your comments as it happens 😁 now I’m wondering what generation you are lol – I’m banging the middle of the millennial lot myself (born 1987), you don’t have to answer of course but are you of a similar vintage? There are a lot of old phrases that really don’t stand up to scrutiny when you think about them for 5 seconds in my opinion at least! But this is one that definitely describes a very real phenomenon, even quite literally it pops into my mind if I put… Read more »
Thanks Sally, it is sweet of you to say you agree with my comments, thank you. I am in the middle of Gen X, so a little older than you, but maybe it’s a middle ground thing. 😁 I agree with you, some of these phrases do fall in the category of “what on earth are you talking about”, “Faint heart never won fair lady”, huh? “No use crying over spilt milk”, who has ever done that! ” A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush”, I just feel sorry for these fictitious birds.🐦 I get that… Read more »
Sorry, read the comments before looking at the picture, too late to edit, hopefully no one is going to read this far back in the comments, or it is too obvious to need a clue anyway. I thought this one had already been done. Really, really sorry. 😔
I read this far back while todays is still up 30th but I had already answered it before reading the comments lol. I think I am older than both you and Sally as I have no idea what age a Gen X is, or is it what kids are calling people of certain ages. I don’t have children so would not know. 🙂
I think I was gen X long before I knew what I was, lol. It’s around 1965-1980, Millennials are 1981-1996, before us both is the baby boomers which were 1945-1964. What does it mean? I have no idea 🤣
I’m glad I didn’t ruin the quiz for you today Tracy. 😊
After the answer’s being revealed, I’ve still never heard of it even though I understand what it means.
I usually ask Google Gemini for help if I can’t find the answer myself. Sometimes very helpful. For 28th however completely useless. It said: This is a a phrase catcher. And then it explained what a phrase catcher was LOL I put something I thought of myself but pretty sure it’s wrong. Still one ticket.
I did not realise he was THROWING the sign. Still don’t think I would have solved it even if I had!
I’m feeling very stupid now because I DID have throw in my mind (although when I couldn’t think of anything I was trying out catch instead because it wasn’t quite clear which he was doing), but all I could think for the sign was either ‘danger’ or ’emergency’ so never got close to the actual answer! 🤦🏻♀️ I wonder if it’s because I’m not a driver – is that a specific meaning for the sign?
I can’t even remember what I put in the end, but it wasn’t right…oh well, still got one point and it’s fun trying 😄
I have asked AI a few times and I got the same, when I said “yes, I know how to play, so what is the answer described in the picture”, they replied “it’s not a puzzle, it’s an advent”. Which made me think of the phrase – as useful as a chocolate teapot 🤣 I hope that’s not tomorrow’s phrase 🤪
Day 27 could have been a few things. I don’t think I’m going to get all of these correct. Some are fairly easy others are not. But it gets the brain going. 👍
As for 28th, my hubby got this and I’m pretty sure he is right. Clue – what does the sign mean and what’s he doing with it. Clue to the meaning of the phrase – to act without considering risks or consequences
I think I have todays answer right. I was wrong for yesterdays 27th as I didn’t think the answer was the right one.
Yep, I was wrong yesterday too, not surprising as the picture clue was nonsense. Due to him sweating and the amount of food I put “work up an appetite”, but I had little confidence… at least I knew I was wrong, so I got that right. 😖
.
I put to have a plate full, oh well. These last few have been really tricky
I got it wrong too, it would of helped to have shown someone actually taking a bite
Thanks for the clues, think I’ve got it.
Don’t know number 28, any clues much appreciated.
I’ve put something.
Based on yesterdays I’m not sure I have the right answer as a lot of these are strange answers based on the pictures
Clue – The Background is key i think
What type of weather is it and what sort of sign is it. Then look at what’s he doing with the sign.
I put tower burger for yesterday’s. Ok so it’s not really a phrase, more of a product but I couldn’t think of anything else.
Should have gone with my instinct and put my first answer (the correct one) for the 27th! 😕 Oh well. At least I got a point 😊
I don’t think the answer from the 27th is actually that relevant to the photo. Some of these answers are very tenuous.
I agree. Yesterday I had so many answers to choose from that I can’t now remember what I put! I think I put ‘Supersize me!’ as there was so much food on the plate, but the ‘Eyes’ one, the ‘Bite’ one and a couple of others I can no longer think of were also contenders. Clearly, I’m thinking too hard. One point, and not for the first time!
Stuck too……eating too much phrase?
Think about what you think/say when it happens to you if you find some really nice food that you like
Does the saying have ‘eyes’ in it? Or is about biting more….? Neither phrase seems to fit but can’t think of anything else 🤔 🤷
That is what I was thinking, but the eyes are not prominent and the other bit is not shown at all. Maybe the sweating is a clue to another phrase, you may do this in preparation for a meal.
Still can’t get it! A more obvious clue please 😁
I’m not 100% and thinking of an animal when it comes to eating a lot.. I’m sure everyone’s heard someone say it to somebody or about someone. 🐎
I have put an answer in but am not sure it is the right one, about stuffing.
I got it wrong.
I put “eyes bigger than your belly”
So did I.
I’m sure everyone’s heard of todays (27th) if i’am right.. I’m thinking of an animal. 🤔
lol well I put big mac
Any clues for todays 27th as my OH and I have no idea.
Same as us too
looks like he’s trying to eat too much
He is. Famous proverb
We’re really struggling too. Just googled food related proverbs and found a page with 81 proverbs and none seemed to fit. 🤔
I put “laughing in the face of death”.
I think I out smoking at the face of death, oh well at least a point! Some of 5th gear have been a lot tougher than others!
