I got 3 of them instantly while loading the pic.

Me too. Confident with 1,3,4, kinda confident of 6, least confident of 5, no clue for 2.

FOAS, 6 is dead easy. 5 is hard.

Hmm, 2 and 5 are stymieing (sp?) me.

1, 3, 4, and 6 came immediately. Still looking at the other two.

Edited to add...Maybe have something for #5 but it’s a stretch.

“FOAS, 6 is dead easy. 5 is hard.”

I often wonder when some people struggle with ones that seem so easy to others. Do our brains work differently? Or is it perhaps a bit of luck, what comes to mind first and letting our minds fully disengage from the first incorrect thought? Number two, first thing that came to mind was sum ho’s, how do I move past that? 😂

fen ... what is another word for sum?

I always find these hard. I get one or maybe two per set. My brain must be one of those different ones!

bragu, my first thought was a total ho. 😳

I got it, finally.

I got four immediately which is a record for me when I have never gotten them all. I'll try the others after lunch. Having trouble with 2 and 5

I also got four immediately and have trouble with 2 and 5. Will look at them again later. If #2 said "Hole" instead of "Ho" I would have an answer for it.

Got 1, 3, 4 and 6.

used to have three women and a guy named Jason in our office. The Christmas sign said Ho, Ho, Ho and I added a sign that said “and Jason”.

Ded tired, good thing his name wasn’t John.

Why do some of them jump out at us instantly, and others don’t? And it will be different for someone else?

#2 and #5 are escaping me completely so far. Have a possible answer for #3. The other three jumped out at me as soon as I opened this thread.

Subtle clues?

I'm not getting #5 or #6. I need a cup of coffee. I have a guess for #6 which I think is correct but....

Subtle (or maybe not so subtle) clues:

1. Not sitting

2. Think fox hunting

3. Child's building toy plus word inside

4. _____ of a doubt

5. (Personally, I would never have gotten this one.)

I ______ right by ______.

6. Remember Tiny Tim and Miss Vicki?

Thanks, Fun! I like the answer to #2. There’s a license plate around here with it, kind cute. And for #5, I agree, I don’t like it lol.

Doing worse than I thought. Still no guess for 2. Had 3 wrong. Had 5 wrong but I’d say my answer is just as good. (Into instead of right by.) Had 6 wrong, googled it and wouldn’t have known the reference. 🙁

For #5, "drove" is on the left side of "IT" - not the right side. I got #2 with F2BH's help, but I kept wanting to make it have "sum" in the answer.

I agree #5 is very lame.

I forgot about this. Time to post the answers.

1. Standing Ovation
2. Tally ho
3. Blockhead
4. Shadow of doubt
5. We drove right by it
6. Tiptoe through the tulips

Five was the only one I didn't get. I see it now. I had problems with 2 too, but with a clue got it.

Well, I never got #2 and for 5 I was close...drove up to it.

OutsidePlaying Drove up to it is a more appropriate answer IMO.

Drove into it was mine. I though 3 was head in a box and it sounded so much like it should be an expression that I didn’t bother to think further and realize it’s not. 2 and 6 I’d have never guessed.

Overall, one of my poorer showings.

I never did get #2 or #5, but then I didn't see the hints until now.

Rusty

I thought3 was Think outside the box. Never would have gotten five.
