DEPOSIT NEAR Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
Member desperation Funny, that one was hard because I usually don't think the first 2 letters are same in both words...so I try alternative variations.
I'd exit mi piss (as related to "deposit near..."
)
Member ipsedixitism How about
JUT POISON TAXI (speaking of "deposit near")
Member Juxtaposition Aha, you used arnie's trick with the first 2 letters being the same again. This time I was smarter!
"Ipsedixitism" was a little cross-threading...love that word!
Use laxity
Member USE LAXITY Sexuality You used the opposite rearrangement trick, leaving the _final_ letters undisturbed. (Did you notice that my clue also spoke of "deposit near," which is a reasonable definition of justaposition? Not everything has a double meaning, but many things do.) So. Strictly on the understanding that this word is completely mixed up, I offerMADRID ZONE

Member Hab,
Think about the clue!

Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
Member PINT GESTURE -- how you signal the bartender at the GBBF for your next refill
Member Hab - "gutter" is correct for 1st word..
Member GUTTER SPINE - a particualr kind of
back surgery Maybe instead it's a form of bookbinding, as opposed to wraparound spine?
If you say so. Actually I prefer
GUTTER PINES which is what you get growing up on the edge of your roof if you don't clean the cones out of your downspouts often enough. Up here we're more likely to get gutter maples, though.
You'll notice I didn't boldface these, because I don't pose either of them as serious candidates...
Member My personal favorite is arnie's
gutter penis .
Member See? Getting back to PRURIENT, we are!
And I would agree with arnie, that GUTTERSNIPE is one word. And a great answer to your anagram
Member My dictionary says "guttersnipe"... sorry
Member No, it says "gutter snipe".. I'm a fool.
Member Arnie, your turn for a new word(s)...
