Hi Pegster,

Definitely a tricky clue to unpack ...

3 letter Scotch word for "a" minus the extra letter + "on" one meaning of which Chambers gives as "on way to being drunk" (I know, crazy!) + "ian"

This should explain all, Malone 😉

I don’t mind “it” to stand for sex (people still use this as a euphemism, I think ) but IT = SA = sex appeal should go in Room 101 along with U = posh. I haven’t used those in a puzzle for a long time.

Brendan. Cap doffed. Many thanks.

You're more than welcome Pegster:-)

Loge, thanks for the knights link - quite daft, but quite funny!

I think 'it' for sex is pretty much on the way out, and it's being used a bit too often really. Your other two words, usages, should definitely be jettisoned.

Hi Malone, did see that two puzzles today used congress = IT? 😉

Knights of Ni is classic Python. I first saw the film when I was at at school, and I got thrown out of class a few times because I couldn’t stop laughing whenever I remembered that scene!

loge

I saw it in the Times but dont get how congress = it

Loge, I saw one dollop of It and mentioned it on on the PU thread- I didn't bother moaning!

Congress and it are both somewhat euphemistic terms for sexual intercourse

I don’t follow PU but have read your (very restrained) comment now, Malone. The other one was Hoskins in the Indy.
