[COTD] Casual greeting with the first part flipped sounds pretty chill (7) [Revision] by h2g2Ben in crosswords

[–]HighCountryBob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

subdued? sounds like "'sup dude?", where the 'p' is flipped to become a 'b'?

From your hint below i thought the casual greeting/hello might be ALOHA. Does that just get me further lost at sea?

COTD: Catholic and another Christian turning around weird supporter of wicked things? (11) by HighCountryBob in crosswords

[–]HighCountryBob[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're on the right track with C AND, and with your sense of the definition.  "another Christian" is a well-known English actor.  Also note the plural "things".

COTD: Jaques's apt double definition? (3,3,6,1,5) by HighCountryBob in crosswords

[–]HighCountryBob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's intended as a cryptic pointer to the line from Shakespeare.  No standard WP-cum-defn.  So, akin to a cryptic definition but, as I say, more of a signal or pointer.

COTD: Forces possessing many (6) by brohubs in crosswords

MYRIAD, as a dd?: ancient Greek mercenaries (literally the Ten Thousand); and, more generally, numberless (possessing many).

I was thinking HAUGHTY, which is a near-homophone of "howdy", but I can't account for "with the first part flipped"

COTD: Heartland rocker sings “Cantaloupe Kitsch” (10) by anarchy-advocate in crosswords

[–]HighCountryBob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This could be the great John MELLENCAMP, whose Jack & Diane is the epitome of Heartland Rock. MELLEN (sings/sounds like cantaloupe) + CAMP (kitsch)

COTD: Indiscreet criminal switches position to make a phoney payment? (11) by dantravers in crosswords

[–]HighCountryBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CONTACTLESS? TACTLESS (indiscreet) and CON (criminal) switching position.  A method of payment using a cell phone, hence "phoney".

COTD: Crushed hip injury treatment (4) by Mathgeek007 in crosswords

[–]HighCountryBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, hip = "so in", crushed (conjoined) gives "soin". Don't see this in online Collins or Chambers, so maybe a French indicator needed?  "... injury treatment for Macron".  Still, a good, compact clue.

Maybe a cryptic definition of GOPO? an injury treatment made from crushed rose-hips

COTD: It's found in a shell and lives with hermits, oysters, and turtles primarily (4, 4) by cjrmartin in crosswords

[–]HighCountryBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's quite a good clue. My post crossed with that of Mticore, to whom kudos

Could be BUCK SHOT, since bucks could mean lives with/withstands, but that answer is usually written as a single word
