When you see a jerk, hit him!#5: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jun 27, 2019 [SPOILER]
Until he's black and blue... oh, wait, that's green. Dang!
Oh, well, I'm stumped again ... :/
As the bruises fade, they'll start to look green. :)#6: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 27, 2019 [SPOILER]
No one's close yet. Neither word is actually in the phrase.#7: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jun 27, 2019 [SPOILER]
Crash Dummy?#8: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jun 27, 2019 [SPOILER]
Idiot Box?#9: Phyllis Schimke (PhyS) on Jun 28, 2019
Ooh I like #8#10: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jun 28, 2019 [SPOILER]
Clean & miss? (clean & jerk plus hit & miss)#11: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 28, 2019 [SPOILER]
Keep guessing. The "+" is important.#12: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jun 29, 2019 [SPOILER]
Pullover And Press (common phrase in a gym)#13: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jun 29, 2019 [SPOILER]
Seize and Desist#14: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jun 29, 2019 [SPOILER]
Jerk = Fool#15: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Jun 29, 2019 [SPOILER]
+ = and
Hit = robbery
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Off and on...#16: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 29, 2019 [SPOILER]
_____ off (and) _____ on !
Soooooooooo sorry :)))))))))))
[HINT] There is no "and" in the phrase. What other words or actions could the "+" represent?#17: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jul 3, 2019 [SPOILER]
Oaf on strike?#18: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 3, 2019 [SPOILER]
So, maybe + can mean across, or add.#19: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jul 4, 2019 [SPOILER]
If it's across, the jerk would be a verb?
If it is add, it could be the first half of the second word.
Or... + could indicate adding to make a singular plural.
I'm not pulling any punches here.
The "+" is "add" in the phrase.#20: Phyllis Schimke (PhyS) on Jul 4, 2019 [SPOILER]
Is it "Add insult to injury"?#21: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jul 4, 2019
This is proving a hard one to solve.
You got it Phyllis!#22: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 5, 2019
Oh my! Way to go, Phyllis! Finally, I can go to sleep tonight peacefully now that this one is solved. :-)#23: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jul 5, 2019
I agree with Teresa. And thank you Phyllis for putting our minds at rest.#24: Phyllis Schimke (PhyS) on Jul 5, 2019
Finally! You're welcome Teresa and Norma, it was getting to me as well. :-)#25: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jul 5, 2019
This one and #21 have been the hardest. I was surprised by both. But then, some of the ones I thought would be hard were answered by the first commenter. So what do I know.
