Question Author
if burnish means to rub how can rub be part of the answer? Is it just a rubbish clue?
Yes, buff is the definition. Mamyalynne is right
Ah - I thought 'Buff' was the definition.
Rub

def

the central problem or difficulty in a situation.
"that was the rub—she had not cared enough"
synonyms: problem, difficulty, trouble, drawback, hindrance, obstacle, obstruction, impediment; More
Mamya correct with Problem = where's the RUB
