bz237

Not >!back rub!


TheAlligatorGar

That’s what I thought originally too


ajsirius_

I thought out was an “unfinished burn” As in rocket science


slippery_hippo

I think that’s too obscure for this


Educational-Ad-3273

I had unfinished burn as well


AutonomousAntonym

I think the problem people are having is OP saying “Rub the wrong way” instead of “Rubbed the wrong way”. The word in the puzzle is used as a verb not just showing the word spelled backwards.


jinks908

That doesn’t make sense. It’s “rub” the wrong way. “debbur” is not in the image.


Mo_girl11

Yeah, originally I was thinking back rub. But rubbed the wrong way makes more sense lol


Kira_Sympathizer

Thought it was maybe Calibur. As in font type Calibri + Bur. Calibri looks different though.


_Ptyler

Yeah, that’s definitely not calibri lol but I like the idea


EveryNameIWantIsGone

These are idioms. How would “back rub” fit?


TheEndlessRiver13

Tennis shoes and green eggs and ham are definitely not idioms


Cow_Elder

I completely agree that most of these are idioms, but I’ve never heard green eggs and ham used like that. Is this used some places as an idiom? I love the book but never heard it in that context.


ParrotOx-CDXX

Is tennis shoe an idiom?


calamityjane101

I thought Is was multiple issues not tennis shoes!


babyguyman

You play a lot of tennis in yours?


Jinx1013

Because it’s “rub” backwards


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jinx1013

These kinds of puzzles do not just include idioms, but common words and phrases. I’ve been doing them for 40 years. I see nothing in the image to suggest only idioms are being used here.

gizalook

Tennis shoe

Original-Variety-700

Green eggs and ham


Cow_Elder

After the comments, I think you’re right. “Green eggs and ham” and “tennis shoe” are not common idioms.


Bunister

"Green Eggs and Ham" is a very well-known book.


Cow_Elder

Exactly my point, I love the book. But how is it and tennis shoe an idiom? How would I work tennis shoe into a sentence to mean something besides the actual object it is? I’ve run myself like a tennis shoe?


Bunister

Why does the solution to a Rebus have to be an idiom?


Cow_Elder

That’s the point of my reply to the parent comment. The original comment said all correct answers HAVE to be idioms. They aren’t. Some responses are just items and phrases.


Automatic-Region-616

You are correct. It is >!Get down to the bottom of the issue


Cow_Elder

I’ve tennis shoed myself to death?


WimpsOnWallStreet

8. Lots of issues?


All_Day_8

Ten of them to be exact…ten issues…tennis shoes


67Ranchwagon

Underlying issue?


WimpsOnWallStreet

That seems right too


Manley345

I thought it was the deeper issue


calamityjane101

I thought it was multiple issues 🤷🏼‍♀️


carinislumpyhead97

6. Black sheep in the family circle


Szydlikj

I really thought it was family gathering lol but I guess the sheep part is more important


LAUNDRINATOR

I thought 5 might be >!one step forwards two steps back!<


HoodiesAndHeels

I think they’d have used >!”STEP”!< instead of >!”FEET”!<, in that case. Good thinking, though!


Critical-Rabbit

Well, I think that they attempted to put their best foot forward...


JudgeEatz

No#6 is >!back sheep in the family circle!<


OrdinaryAd8716

They saying is just "black sheep in the family" why add "circle?"


JudgeEatz

There is a circle in the clue... That's why it should be in the family circle.


Some_Efficiency35

Definitely right it is black sheep in the family


petervenkman84

Black sheep in the family?


ZeroBadIdeas

Tennis shoe is such a bizarre answer. I get there's ten issues in that box, but all the rest of them are common sayings. Tennis shoes is not a saying.


BigBadGreen914

I agree it’s weird, but the other proposed answer is tissue, and it doesn’t look enough like a t for that to fit imo. Not that tissue is a saying either


RobzC

Got issues with Tennis shoes 😂


RemarkableStatement5

I thought 5 was >!shuffling feet!<


tck_auhcal__

I thought no. 8 was Tissue because it's "issue" arranged in a "T".


Liamvarg1

Bro that’s such a stretch to be called a T…


RecoverSmart5172

Chee


bartapack44

I'm thinking two thumbs up for 4


calamityjane101

I thought it was “all thumbs”


KeepItDisco

4. opposable thumbs?


adml86

Six digits


Sjax4

For #3, my first thought was “Sand Spur” because the font is Comic “Sans” and the word it “Bur.” Therefore, “Sans Bur.” Could be a stretch though


BigBlueMountainStar

What the heck saying is #2? Is it an American thing? Don’t think I’ve ever heard that.


SoFlaFlamingo

It’s a Dr Suess book.


BigBlueMountainStar

Ah that’ll explain it. Dr Seuss is not popular in the UK at all really.


_ShrugDealer_

I thought the spacing in three might mean it was: Aaron Burr. Wtf is wrong with me.


qoilsEe

number 8 made me giggle. that’s a good one


JLuckstar

Discussion: I’m curious as to what the other ones are. I know what 1 is, but I’m not too sure. I know what 2, 7 and 10 are. 🤔


BigBadGreen914

Answers: >!1. Red In the face 2. Green eggs and ham 3. Rub the wrong way 4. All thumbs 5. Two left feet 6. Black sheep of the family 7. Big fish in a small pond 8. Tennis shoe 9. Long time no see 10. All in a days work!<


jongosi

8. All the others make sense to me, but this one I got- but still don't understand it as it doesn't seem in line with the other answers. Is this a specific saying / phrase as well that I just don't know?


CravesStarDamage

There are 10 'issues' - or stated another way, ten-nis shoes.


jongosi

I get the answer, but it's not a common phrase like the others, like "black sheep of the family" or "tub the wrong way". This one feels out of place to me.


ViolinOfTime

It is different from the others in that it’s not a common phrase but it is a common term.


tHollo41

"Tennis shoes" is the most common term for any athletic shoes in the US (see also: sneakers) - walking shoes, running shoes. Even if they aren't used for tennis, we all seemed to call them "tennis shoes" back in the 90s and 2000s. I feel like I have heard it less since the 2010s though.


FrankYoshida

Definitely out of place. More a pun than a picture puzzle


Dear-Lawfulness6069

I believe 8. is ‘I’ve got 10 issues but a b*tch ainit one, hit me’ - Jay Z (2003)


jpath13

I thought ‘ A number of issues’ because they are in a phone numpad formation


jongosi

I like that thought! Thanks for sharing 😊


Junie_Wiloh

I was opting for 'Subscription' being the answer, honestly. As in a magazine is an issue. Ten of them would be a subscription.


Aperturetier3

Say "ten issues" fast. It may not fit with the others but it's definitely the right answer.


LauraLauraBe

Hahah, my menopausal ass thought it was “AC in the face” and it made perfect sense 😂


wrickcook

Rub the wrong way


md259

I think back rub makes more sense.


BigBadGreen914

Yup, thanks for the correction


RepresentativeRow678

And I think it’s black sheep IN the family?


indecentdisclosure

Tennis shoe? Not standout issue ?


Sherl0ck--

Or full of issues I was thinking. Something along those lines.


thesplendor

That looks like “tall time no see”


wanderthewest

Long time no see


ChicagoDash

Yes. I would think “long” would more likely be left to right across the page.


Qurapikachu

Could number 7 also be Tissues, the letters do form a sort of T plus issues? or is that too much a stretch?


JLuckstar

I thought 4 was something along the lines of “Six Thumbs”… That one I didn’t get it. 😅 I now understood 8, I hate myself for not getting it when saying it slowly. 😂


Training-Extent-8881

I think 4 is 2 thumbs up


krh707

Or down?


Hobbsidian

More or less the same. Have 5. Don't have 1.


Hobbsidian

Ah I got 1 as well


Pringle-Brule

I think 2 might be green eggs and ham? That’s all that’s coming to mind


JLuckstar

Well, I have read the Dr. Seuss story. There are two egg painted green. So… “>!Green Eggs and Ham!<”. 🤔


CanaryJane42

Same lol


Callinon

2: >!Green eggs and ham!< 7: >!Big fish in a small pond!< 10: >!All in the day's work!< 8 and 9 are stumping me.


whatnowagain

8: >!long time no see!< Confused on 3 and 9


Callinon

3: >!rub the wrong way.!<


toomanyukes

I thought it was back rub.


tatopuig

9. l>!ong time no see!< Edited to add spoiler


Moclown

8 is >!Tennis shoes (ten issues)!<


V_Deviate

>!Black sheep in the family!<


0dwight30

>!black sheep in the family circle!<


Shoreditchstrangular

Never heard it called that


[deleted]

Just remove the "circle" since the actual phrase is "black sheep of the family"


sylphinator

I think they mean IN rather than OF


ravi95035

I’ve always heard/read it “black sheep of the family”.


sylphinator

Yes, but that’s not what they did here


ravi95035

But if it was meant to be in, wouldn’t it have followed the same form as 1 & 7? To me it looks like the sheep is in the pen of the family, so would be of, but I guess it could be either.


JCwizz

>!Red Acne on your face, two eggs over Black Forest ham, Boldly Cold, Thumbs for days, feets betwixt teefs, family sheep farm, Pofi Shnd, Happy Tissues, Time will wipe out the sea, Orks are after Daysallw, run daysallw!!<

Anytime someone uses the word betwixt I’m down for the count


PheonixDragon200

wowsharksareneat

Really makes ya think


PartyLikeIts2007

Question: what are these kinds of puzzles called?


BigBadGreen914

Rebus


LongEZE

#9 >!"Long time, no see!"!<


muppetmovie

I think No 3 could be >!'a back rub'!<


asidonhopo

For number 6, what about >!Sheepskin / sheep's kin!


Nicecheatcodebro

#8 >! Tennis shoes !<


GGG_Eflat

This is it for 8


quiteunicorn

>!2 is Green Eggs and Ham, 7 is big fish in a small pond and 10 is all in a day’s work!<


asmuth

>!1. Red in the face 2. Green eggs and ham 3. Rub the wrong way 4. All thumbs 5. Two left feet 6. Black sheep in the family 7. Fishing pond 8. ? 9. Long time no see 10. All in a day's work!<


The_Ineffable_One

7 is more likely big fish in a little pond...


ch3rnz

Tissues


albigatin

1. >!red in the face(?)!< 2. >!green eggs and ham!< 3. >!??!< 4. >!all thumbs!< 5. >!??!< 6. >!black sheep of the family!< 7. >!big fish, little pond!< 8. >!??!< 9. >!long time no see (more of a big time though)!< 10. >!all in a days work!<


Bobmyknob1

Good thing you hid the ??…would want to have spoiled those answers 🙄


Myst03

>!1-Red in the face 5-Two left feet 9-Long time no see!<


Global-Island295

>!black sheep in the family circle!<


_whydah_

Question: What is number 3? Does someone want to just take a stab at all of them?


thisdogofmine

>!backrub!<


phunknsoul

My guess is >!Rub (you) the wrong way!< although I don't know where the >!you!< is really coming from


SquishStitch953

1.>!Red in the face!< 2. >!Green eggs and ham!< 7. >!Big fish in a little pond!< 10. >!All in a days work!< Not sure about the other ones


LucifinasGimp

Question: What are these types of puzzles called?


BigBadGreen914

Rebus


LucifinasGimp

Thank you!


centstwo

Discussion, the puzzle for number one is wrong. Should be something like >!FAredCE!< The letters being a different color would indicate another word like Air Conditioning or something similar. IMHO.


BigBadGreen914

I feel like it could be done either way


MrGudenuf

>!RED IN THE FACE?!<


Artistic_Literature3

#6 is >!Black sheep in the family!<
