Almost! try again.

A-R-R-R-R-GH!

MANUFACTURER, then :-)

Must be a case of INacutyping. Which is _not_ a new anagram.

Pugnacity!!!

I really fancy this game...

straite verge one word
(of which I've bet you've never heard )

I know I've seen it before, perhaps in its noun form. It looks as though it's trying to be "tersigiverate" (noun -ation) but it might have the t or the g or the s or the v switched, or some other combination, or something like that. And anyway I think it needs one more i than is in "straite verge."

And I haven't the foggiest recollection what it means...!

Edit: cheated, looked it up. It's tergiversate

CLEAN, AGILE - one word (which is what you ain't got no mo' if you tergiversate)

CLEAN,AGILE

I pledge allegiance to the flag...

opera yacht... one word, one of my favorites, and I don't know why.. I wish it were still used!

opera yacht

CAREOPATHY = tooth decay

THEOPARACY = religion you can see right through

PACHYTORAE = thick politicians

HYPERCAPTA = take all the prisoners you can find

ACEROPATHY = maple tree disease

APOCRYTHAE = I'm not sure I should believe this one either

Hab,
You are too clever for words!

My word was apothecary... you were very close, but no cigar.

leap tree scn

It's one word.. sorry, I can't edit.

"apothecary" ! A lovely word indeed.

LEAP TREE SCN = petal screen. I'm working on it.

Hab,
At this point, I don't even remember the word!..

Try this one:

rail memo

Memorial Day is almost here!

Or, it could be E-mail mor (missing the "e!')

I am afraid I am going to repeat words here! However, let's try:

tofu USA One word; the "tofu" is a bit of crossthreading from a comment of yours, KHC!

fatuous

Sen Kerry is

non life drug

non life drug

Floundering - more cross-threading, eh?

ASSIST DOURLY (One word)

DISASTROuSLY

and before we leave our PETAL SCREEN there were a few nice two-word approximations and some one-letter-offs:

replaceSent
reNeptacles
respectaNle

pentacleers
plasterence

carpent eels
plant reeces
serpent cale

lace present
spleen crate
specter lane
step cleaner
censer plate
trance sleep
pester lance
steeple narc
leper ascent
nacreous
crane pestle
pert scalene
scalp entree
enter please

(I'm sure we could come up with some really weird definitions for some of these!)

N CAMINO ALAMO one word

Hab... "scalp entree"... you got it!

No, really, it is embarrassing that I can't even solve my own word.. I threw away the paper, and obviously typed in too few or too many letters.

your word: monomaniacal... Only one maniac on the board at a time..!

chippie parents

apprenticeship

Hoo, there are a lot of non-words here, too. I like A Phipps Enteric best because it sounds so pharmaceutical! I think Hab has created a new sub-game to this.

Hunch, twit! One word

Hunch, twit

witch-hunt

Another possibility is:
hutch-twin (Starsky?)

ABLEST CREEP (One word)

ABLEST CREEP

respectable

DECREFITI - the writing on the wall of a run-down building

PS Go Back Four Spaces - you mean nobody is going to take me up on "nacreous"?

DECREFITI

Certified or rectified.. I choose rectified... it's a better word..

RAPID ANGUISH... one word

strength cili one word
(KHC should get it... she's from the south )

I got it!

strength cili

chitterlings... commonly known as chitlin's.. My grandparents ate them, I have refrained..

Hab,
Re: nacreous

You are the Mother of Pearl of all posters.. you are iridescent and light up our life.. you are like a small, kettle drum (??)

I had to peruse the dictionary to find this word.. Now I am a wee bit smarter than I was yesterday.

tumbler kit

Buttermilk

OK, if you are going to include names of regional dishes, how about this one?

TOOTH HEADLINE (Four words) We have mentioned it on this board before...

It's worse than that. Another of the synonyms for "nacreous" is "pearlescent."

But I cheated. I didn't figure it out myself.

Trossl,
Please let us in on the solving of yen sorbet..

But I'm forging ahead to a new word... Ready?

urinate cooly... one word.

That looks as if it should be

Yup.

Let's try some electronic food:

AIRLINE LIMO ... one word

SS Moony Sun one word

SS MOONY SUN

Phooey. I was trying to make SYNONYMOUS out of it but it doesn't quite work...would have to be
SS MOONY YUN to fit.

Oh well. Back to the drawing board.

And meantime, because I can't resist - a sidelight that came up wrestling with an earlier word:

INTERNEM MAP clue: Hairdo today, gone tomorrow

(Save it for next time it's my turn.)

THOMAS, NP

Re "hairdo today, gone tomorrow" - is an "impermanent permanent" a contradiction in terms or a valid construction?

THOMAS,NP

Phantoms of the operas...

ticking freres... The Bomb Brothers!... one word

hab...sorry, you were right... I guess I left off a Y" when I was scrambling up my letters...

Not to worry. I've done it myself, more times than I like to own up to.

On the other hand...it you'd like a penance, how about a daffynition for HYRAX for the Fool'em thread? PM me with it?

PS re TICKING FRERES - it makes FINGERSTICKER. Why? Who has diabetes?

I prefer REFACERRICKS myself.

Hab,

FINGERSTICKER is not my word... try, try again..

Trossl,

I misspelled my anagram, then FORGOT my own word... how's that for being scattered?

Cheers to the veterans of D-Day.. and may Reagan R.I.P.

TICKING FRERES .... is that such a hard word? You can make it into two words... one 5-letter.. a dash.. one 8-letter. But I think it is only ONE.

In my usual clueless way, I am lost. I have been working on this one for ages. I give!

Kalleh,
I was on the way to put it to rest.. grief-stricken.. or griefstricken.

Let's go to another one..

amino titi din... one word.

INTIMIDATION

Then we have final exams for the mediocre student:

WEEK-LONG "D" (one word)

Now _that's_ power!
