I can remember first seeing this as a clue in telegraph many years ago, and it also remains one of my favourites.

Nice. In a similar vein, I recall Paul Jennings had one something like 'Help naughtinesses' (3), to which the answer was S.O.S.

My favorite has always been an anagram.

It fascinates me that "SATURNALIA" is an anagram of "AUSTRALIAN".

cesdlv - forgive me for being slow but could you explain the naughtinesses aspect of that clue?
