Thanks to all who braved this week’s challenge. Plenty of definitions to choose from and lots of clever touches including...

Chris’s combination of ‘cutting and tart’
Paul’s cryptic ‘short but not sweet’
Buddy’s subtractive ‘turn of phrase almost’
Peterm’s ‘cardsharp not missing a trick’
Mathprof’s ‘stylish bash in Paris’
Mattrom’s ‘Oprah’s’ subtractive reversal (if that’s a term)
Tyke’s ‘fashionable practice’

I also liked the musical clues from Dorrien ‘converting b to c’ and ‘as seen on the score sheet’ ; Aristo’s ‘accidental’ as a definition, Fiery’s hidden using ‘arpeggio’ and Jimmy’s “#” disguised as a hashtag (I hope I got that right).

Very difficult to pick a winner, but the final shortlist was...
Buddy@7, Dorrien@14, Paul@18 and Mattrom@21

For the winner I decided to go with Paul’s neat...

Short but not sweet

Many congrats Paul, here’s your prize...

Congrats paul & thanks for the hosting and shortlisting jono

mathprof, I was able to submit my vote a short time ago. As Devo is currently 800+ votes behind the 5th place Go-Go's, it doesn't seem too likely.
