HI there,

Grateful for any help with the following:-
8d (9) 'Put shiny coat on gyrating Elvis, getting angry response.' I've got s-l-e-i--
19a (4) 'Youngster's small, undersized.' I've got t---

Thanks

8 Silverise - anag of elvis + rise (angry reponse) - Put shiny coat on = silverise

8d looks like SILVERISE, but I can't quite make it work (unless a RISE is OK for an angry response)

Thanks to you both - I knew it had to be silve---- but I didn't know of 'rise' as an angry response. However, as they say, I know now! Cheers.

yes rise = revolt, rebel etc

Of course - duh! That gives me 'teen' for 19a, which is teeny, but undersized.

Thanks again.

Hi chrisg
I thought of it more as "getting a rise out of someone" - i.e. provoking a response (though not necessarily an angry one?)

Hi chrise - could be your defn


I was thinking of rise up in terms of angry response - revolt - rebel etc
