      Blood money is a repeat, it’s in the setup for the original question.

    Your response to Honeydew is an actual coin, not an idiom or phrase.

    Thrifty answers......not necessarily reading all that came before her.  Expect to see this again......suggest training yourself now.

      Thrifty, Stu has correctly pointed out that you (albeit possibly inadvertently) repeated “dough”, an entry that SpunkySenior already posted. As such, I have to take million-dollar wound back from you.
