??G?N

All assistance welcomed.

Chrise, Thanks.

I saw that & foolishly dismissed it. I'm living up to my cognomen.....

47 Unironic, I think.

unironic
uni + R + on ic(e)

queen nearly kept waiting
R on ic(e)

Uni R on ic(e)
I can't see an instruction to remove the "e"?
What am I missing?

"nearly" was omitted from the clue that Bear gave

Ah!
Thank you, Jazzgirl!

Thanks to Malone & Jazzgirl (as ever).

With Chrise's answer I had concluded it had to be IRONIC but couldn't see why till you parsings.

Many thanks again
