CATCHY HIPPOS

...started with ICTHYOPHA- but ran out of letters.

It's PSYCHOPATHIC. (Indeed it is. Present company excepted, of course.)


Here's the next, with a couple of false starts:

DEEIIMPRS

which is not

I IS PRE-MED (grammatically-challenged Comparative Anatomy student) or
SEMPER IDI (former motto of Ugandan Marine Corps) or
SID EMPIRE (and Imogene was Empress) or
RIM IS DEEP (fill 'er up, Bartender!)

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..." Wink)

Juxtaposition

Aha, you used arnie's trick with the first 2 letters being the same again. This time I was smarter! Wink

"Ipsedixitism" was a little cross-threading...love that word!

USE LAXITY

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 offer

MADRID ZONE

Hmmm... I can find a one-word answer: GUTTERSNIPE. Two words, though?

GUTTER PENIS
PIGNUT TREES
PUREST TINGE
UNPEG SITTER?

... I think not. Confused

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...
