Why is turn a shock? I know it's correct but rather vague I think!
Question Author
Is 22a couching? eg lying on a couc and couyching your words in a mean way?
turn - a fit of illness or emotion, esp. an emotional shock (Chambers)
what is the clue for 22a please?
A shock can give you a "turn"
Don't think it's couching. Not sure what it is at the moment, still thinking.
Question Author
sort of lying (eg on a couch) that hurts (it would!) concealed in jargon (couching your words)? C _ O _ H _ N _ ans must be couching
It's couchant (ouch in cant)
Question Author
You are a genius and much cleverer than me - thanks!
couchant (heraldry term for lying down)
ouch (it hurts) inside cant (jargon)
Thanks for the compliment baibee, I have my moments, then some days I can't answer a thing!
