Stinky Pinky

Do you know this game? A stinky pinky is a two word, two syllables each, rhyming answer to a clue. For instance, if the clue is "comical hare" the stinky pinky is "funny bunny." There can be stink pinks, stinkity pinkities, stinkinkity pinkinkities, stinky pinky winkies, and so on. (Not sure winkies is right, but you get the idea.)

SO, if ya wanna play:

1) A stinky pinky for a red-faced prostitute
2) A stinky pinky for Bailie Lumber's attorney
3) A stinkity pinkity for a drink you can take with you
4) A stinkinkity pinkinkity for a presidential wake-up time ( a classic, by, we believe, OB O'Brien)

I'll start.
2) Sawyer Lawyer.

And I know 4), but that's because I was playing when OB came up with it. So I won't tell.

1) A SCARLET HARLOT!

Two down. Two to go.

4. Eisenhower's Risin' hour.

Not sure if I figured that out, or if I pulled it out of some buried childhood memory.

Dad said...

That's 3 out of 4.

Mom said...

I have not given up on 3) but I might need a hint.

While working on it, however, I have thought of:
a) a stinkity pinkity for a drink used during bargaining
b) a stinkity stynkyty (think homonyms) for a dead body that fits under the seat.

a) a leverage beverage!

Dad said...

A deseatent decedent.

No, wait.

A carry on carion!

You could put it overhead, Too!

More, please.

Dad said...

How about a stinkity pinkity for a building that catches insects.

Dad said...

And here's your hint. If you can get this one, you've got the other one:

A stinkity pinkity winkity for:

A remarkable drink you can take with you!

Oh. duh. Got it.

Notable tote-able potable.

OK, how about a stinky pinky for a young cat in love?

Dad said...

smitten kitten

sooooo easy

I'm still working on this one. In the process I have thought of a stink pink for a funny blood-sucking insect. Also, a stink pink for a wealthy young spider looking for beaux at her first dance. Also, a stink pink for what happens to a tennis court after it rains. But no clowns yet.

I imagine that the subject matter has scared Laura right off the thread.

Laura said...

I'm struggling with these you guys...A quick tick? Worm squirm? I know they aren't right, but I'm thinking outloud.

Is the spider one really a stink pink? Thats a lot of thoughts to fit into two one syllable words.

How about a pumpkin's cousin who suffers from ennui?

Mom said...

Quick tick is not the one I thought of, but it works just as well. Pretty funny, too.

For that matter, worm squirm works for the tennis court just as well as what I had in mind. Eeew.

Yes, all those thoughts do fit into two one-syllable words. Short words, too. You'll see.

Bored Gourd!

Dad said...

Hm. I had sick tick for the funny bloodsucker. Mom says that's not it.

I have the other two but will wait in case others want to keep trying.

Hints on an internet clown:

It's similar in length tot he solution to the young rich female spider at her first dance looking for beaux, wearing a white dress with ruffles and curls in her hair. Part of it has a relationship to Easter. It does not necessarily contain a SYNONYM for internet.
