Green little worm who thinks he'll get a chance on smurfettes once he's postpubescent, perhaps?

Close, but that's not Smurfette. It's Vanity Smurf in a dress.

 

[zanazzi78]

Urethra Plugs, Inc.?

The inc part is correct ...

 

[Math Is Hard]

45. No, it goes the opposite way.

I am beginning to think this clue is a flop.

I am beginning to think this clue is a flop.

Is the answer flop?

 

[AKG]

Since nobody seemed to be getting them, the answer to two of mine are:

37. Harry Haller's Indian brother :

siddharth

Hermann Hesse wrote a novel called "Steppenwolf," where the main character's name was Harry Haller. He also wrote a novel called "Siddhartha" where the main character's name was Siddhartha. Since Siddhartha and Harry Haller are both creations of Hesse, he's like their father, so they're like brothers. Siddhartha was Indian of course, so that's how that clue worked. "Siddhartha" and "siddharth" (the PF member) are spelled slightly differently, but I doubt that was throwing anyone off.

35. Some foreigners' request in cold weather :

Borogoves

It's supposed to sound like "borrow gloves." Yeah, it was a bad clue, I know.

 

[Smurf]

Close, but that's not Smurfette. It's Vanity Smurf in a dress.

Oh, Har Har Har!

 

[Math Is Hard]

Is the answer flop?

No, sorry. I can tell you this..if you've visited Phil you've probably met him.

 

[Les Sleeth]

45. No, it goes the opposite way.

Would that be Fliption?

 

[Math Is Hard]

Would that be Fliption?

Yes, indeedy!

Oo, it sounds like the first line of a haiku

 

[JamesU]

That was a lovely clue, icvotria. You wrapped it in such a pretty package - who would have guessed yomamma was in there!
