    Picture
In summary: Hello, everyone! In summary, I am stumped on this puzzle. I am thinking that the red R should be an E, but I am not sure. The other two puzzles are easy for me. I think the original poster meant to say "Banana split" instead of "cry-in-shame." I just wanted to add that rebuses are puzzles with pictures or symbols that are used to create phrases.

PS: (To the OP) There's a name for these puzzles - they are called rebuses.

Rebus is different. In a rebus, actual pictures take the place of words like:
[eye] [heart] [ewe] where each word in brackets is replaced by a picture, is a rebus for "I love you".

That's one example of a rebus. The definition of a rebus that I'm aware of allows you to use either pictures or symbols (letters count as symbols) to construct phrases. But in present day rebuses, a broader set of tricks seem to be allowed.

See:

Andre, I was going for "missing you" but that's close enough.

No I'm right here :wink:. Just feeling disordered, as usual.

First two yes,

o ne
What other synonym can we use for that space?

and
Hint: the missing word is negating itself, otherwise I could not leave it out.

Still another synonym. The expression in parenthesis gives over two million hits in google. People are elated when they did it.

I have no idea what a 'ble' is, but there is none here: no ble, noble.

Bold and noble
