Round 3332 time to vote - KISS AND CRY
Shani Naylor
1.
Rhyming slang for die.
2.
(Archery) to encourage. [Obs.]
3.
The farewell at military deployment.
4.
An author who writes trashy romance novels.
5.
A Cockney term for “spy” during the Cold War.
6.
To kiss as a bittersweet ending to a relationship.
7.
The name of a make up which claims to be
"life proof".
8.
Repeated effort after an initial failure
(Cockney rhyming slang, from 'miss and try').
9.
[Sailors’ slang] In a square-rigged sailing
ship, the sound of badly adjusted yards touching and squealing.
10.
Lawn bowls. A shot in which a
player’s wood comes to a standstill touching the jack (a “kiss”), but transfers
enough momentum to the jack for it to roll away and stop closer to an opposing
player’s wood.
11. An area in an ice skating rink where figure skaters rest while awaiting their results after a competitive performance. So named because competitors typically celebrate or commiserate (depending on their performance) with coaches, friends, or family in this location.
12.
The process
of canning food developed by Englishman, Peter Durand, who
discovered that food could be preserved by taking fresh vegetables (kissed by
the sun) and applying heat to them in airtight containers under pressure to
kill any microorganisms (cry).

Best wishes,
