Got it. It’s taking me longer to think of a clue that is not TMI
ReplyDeleteIt gave me great happiness to hear the listener get the on air clues so quickly.
Delete❤️
DeleteIt *is* Groundhog Day!
ReplyDeleteOnly now there are so many different groundhogs, I don't know which one to believe.
A spoonerism of one of the body parts points out the irony of the other.
ReplyDeleteClever!
DeleteWow, yeah, that's good, Lancek!
DeleteClue better than puzzle!
Now *that* is cute!

Delete@Lego, Lancek never said which body part to spoonerize
DeleteThanks for the kind words, everyone! (Including Lego before deletion.)
DeleteI've got it, but I'm not sure how to clue it.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a tough time too.
DeleteActually, Scarlett, is a small clue there, but I don’t want to make it too obvious.
DeleteI got it after I gave up trying to use wordsmith. I was going back to bed and as soon as I I sat down on the bed the answer came to me.
ReplyDeleteAdd a different letter to the first part and rearrange to get a drink.
ReplyDeleteFor the second body part, the latter portion of the word can stimulate the first portion of the word (at least in certain species).
ReplyDeleteHappy Groundhog Day, the ultimate foreshadower! 😉
ReplyDeleteAnd Happy Birthday to that consummate wordsmith, James Joyce.
DeleteThe puzzle is specific to the "human" body. That ain't necessarily so though.
ReplyDeleteOne rhymes with a popular dog breed, the other rhymes with a well-known city.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell if this is an alternate answer or an alternate definition of "rhymes with."
DeleteThe Wind in the Willows
ReplyDeleteI'm going cuckoo trying to figure out how to clue this!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's NEURONS + B -> NOSEBURN ...
ReplyDeleteThe 8-letter body part can be rearranged into a phrase that describes what I am now doing. Move the 2nd and 3rd letters of that phrase 3 letters later in the alphabet, and move the 4th letter of the phrase 1 letter later in the alphabet. You will get the name of a famous lady.

ReplyDeleteYou might want to to check Jaws' comment above.
DeleteOkay, I agree.
DeleteThough I'm sure she has both, Courtney Love is not relevant to this puzzle.
ReplyDeleteThe 7-letter part anagrams to an animal and a drink.
ReplyDeleteIf they call me, I'll have to borrow some neckwear.
