O for origin mixed with curse. Source tallies with origin.

Iā€™d say youā€™d need to see a few letters in that before you are getting it. Youā€™d be leaving it til last.

Itā€™s not really.
The straight clue is the first word. Impertinent language we hear, means it sounds like a word for impertinent language.

I thought I had the answer before knowing why it was the answer. A letter or two would have made it handy enough alright.

Bizarrely you got the answer using incorrect reasoning.

The impertinent language is ā€œsauceā€. So, origin is the straight clue, and sounds like (we hear) sauce.

Jaysus, thatā€™s the tans for you. Iā€™m happier with my reasoning.

:thinking::thinking:

How do you know what the correct reasoning is?

Is it possible the impertinent language is ā€œcoarseā€, which would directly rhyme?

I was thinking about coarse also but didnā€™t cop ā€˜we hearā€™ indicated a rhyme. Presume @flattythehurdler has the official reasoning but seems to be more than one way to skin a cat on this one.
