money= FX
TO

31 FOOT ROT
TORT + OOF (Yiddish money) reversed
arties?
Best I can do for

17 Arties

G&S piece was all about the Art lovers etc.
re 31 - so the answer isn't a dance?
Question Author
Thank you all.
Ades was a poet. So 17 is ok.

Which word is the def for Fox Trot?
Ulceration? Wrong is Tort?

Bunthorne was a compiler. The other reference is Bunthorne's bride.
But Arties which is not a word unless it is plural of arty does not explain Such as Bunthorne.
Ades , a composer.
I think attire looks fine

Bunthorne was a poet so an arty type - those such as him could be described as arties
Arties!!

Autocorrect!
Chambers

Arty

An arty person.

Thanks iminoz.
Foot rot is ulceration. Oof is a new word.

That leaves Arties.

May be Mamyalynne is right about G&S piece.
Artie can be used for 'Arthur', but I can't find a reference to Bunthorne's first name.
May I just jump in?

iminoz, don't think you've seen it, but Seekeerz was asking after you on the DT whatnot quiz thread.
Thanks, Captain2, I hadn't looked at it this week.
Question Author
Thank you Toorak and Mamyalynne.
A better example than Bunthorne might have made it easier.
Bunthorne is the aesthetic poet depicted by WS Gilbert in his satire 'Patience', so an archetypal 'arty' as Mamyalynne suggests. Incidentally, when the Guardian decided in 1970 that all its crossword setters should have pseudonyms, Bunthorne was the name chosen by Bob Smithies after his original suggestion of The Cunning Linguist had been rejected by the editor.
