The two favourite approaches seem to be the dead cat expression (18 being my favourite example) and the handily vague "unusual thing" definition, with wordplay forming your pick of any number of surprising statements (46 and 58 my favourites). Where clues have taken a different approach, I've tried to award their originality. While the word "curio" has arguably taken on a bit of a life of it's own, it is pretty much a shortened version of "curiosity" so not really suitable imho for use as an element in a clue for that word. |
