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

I’d say you’d need to see a few letters in that before you are getting it. You’d be leaving it til last.

It’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, that’s the tans for you. I’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 didn’t cop ā€˜we hear’ indicated a rhyme. Presume @flattythehurdler has the official reasoning but seems to be more than one way to skin a cat on this one.
