Any help? Its my last one...

Pizzicato

[spenser]

Thanks for that ... but I have pressie for 11a (informal gift) - its not spelt with zz is it? Surely not! And what is pizzicato?!

[johnalex]

Sorry for long the delay Spencer owing to lateness:

Prezzie is the correct answer for 'informal gift', in the sense of speaking informally or casually. Sometimes also spelt 'pressie'.

Pizzicato is a playing technique that involves plucking the strings of an instrument, i.e. playing 'notes'.

Good Luck, ja

Ah! Many thanks JohnAlex. And I didn't even notice how late it was!
