6 letter words, and use 3 letters to start a new word...

zebras. (If you stare at a herd of zebras long enough, or the skins off them made up as a leotard, your eyes go glazed.)

Now connect to "zebras" and never mind leotards.

brandy (your eyes are glazed after drinking 6 glasses with a woman wearing a leotard having chased a herd of zebras)

I presume that is intended to persuade Rebecca and FS to sit by your feet and look at me contemptuously. Like aunties look at scamps. You are mistaking banter for wit.

diabol. (brandy can be used to make the Devil appear).

bollocks -It's what the devil has and Brandy doesn't even though she is a fine girl.

Devils...

(obvious)

kidney.

(Devilled kidney is a popular English recipe.)

lackey

(a valet used to serve the English aristocracy kidney pies)

yearns

(what the lackey who's serving the English aristocracy does as his eyes happen to catch a glimpse of m'lady's cleavage as he places her plate in front of her).

sprung

(when m'lady caught the valet peering at her sizable assets and cleavage)

naiads.

(they were a type of nymph who presided over fountains, wells, springs, streams, and brooks.)

Try again spendi!

I've been pipped before Dutch. Naiads is okay from "yearns". You have no explanation for "sprung" from "yearns". You are making the connection to the previous explanation rather than the word itself. As I have explained enough times. So carry on--don't mind me.

BTW--the thread-master has approved of my revision of the rules which makes you out of order on your own argument. Like me, Spade doesn't wish to play a kindergarten game.

okay - for sprung, I got:

ruined
(the lackey and the lady gave the mattress such a workout when the Lord left to do whatever Lords do- that the springs in the mattress sprung and they had to get a new mattress because it was ruined- this is a modern day Lady and Lord and lackey - they weren't bouncing around on feather mattresses - this mattress has springs).

and for naiads:

dancer

(the naiads danced amidst the sun-splashed droplets)

So the words are :

ruined/dancer (Now there's a story THERE!)

dental

(An appointment the valet needed after the Lord slotted him for ruiniug the mattrass with the Lady during nocturnal bouncing)

denied

(what the Lady tried to do to avert divorce proceedings)

diaper

(What some wear, after a divorce or just because they are cry babies, we play as we see fit, Spades will agree with this but, it's all good, it's funnier which ever way WE all play)

filled. (what diapers usually get).

leader

( what is filled with anticipation of success and , and, usually the Mother where diapers are concerned )
