Thanks to both entrants for their clues for SWING. I don't think that I
need any clarification, so I'll go straight to the results:
Mark Iredell:
Sleep around noon, steeped in drink (5)
definition: "sleep around"
SWI(N)G: N (noon) contained (steeped) in SWIG (drink)
A good definition, straightforward wordplay, and an amusing surface
(although I'm not quite clear what "sleep around noon" might mean).
I like that "around" looks like it's associated with "noon" at first
glance, disguising the definition.
David A:
I'll be hanged! (5)
cryptic definition
This doesn't work. "To be hanged" could certainly clue "to swing", but
"I'll be hanged" clues a noun: A swing could be hung, but not hanged.
The winner is Mark, once he has sobered up.I take issue! It means, I'll swing. Plenty agree with me!
