My first attempt. I new it would be easy! Actually I was kinda surprised it was accepted. I figured it was too easy.
[5] easy? so far I'm clueless
That was a bit vague to be the easy one. WTF?
14th in 1.5 minutes, but I have no idea why my answer works.
It's not the gunbarrel company.... www.wpgbc.com
Wow only 22? People taking the night off or something?
[10] I think everyone is at a loss.
[11] You got that right.....
It's not piglet!
???
The rebus is as straightforward as it gets. Finding a synonym is the second step. Hope that's not too much salt.
I'm sty-mied.
[15] A synonym for what? pig?
spider pig, spider pig, does whatever a spider pig does...
Oy, gevalt! I've never heard of that term before, and neither had the dictionary I usually frequent. It took a fair bit of digging around before I managed to dig up the term.
[18] Ditto. Gotta love that Google!

Okay now that is hilarious. We can see one of these from the window of our office. A couple weeks ago, we must have spent and entire afternoon looking up different names for it. We all had a good laugh at this one and it is now the name of choice. (Yes we are easily ammused...)
When in doubt, Google what you see.
[17] A synonym for the rebus as a whole.
I'll bet that now that I've solved this one, I'll wake up to "I Got You Babe" on the radio morning after morning after morning....

Glad Im from the South!!! That was easy!
OK, I didn't know that term. Thank goodness for [18] and Google. It must be a regional term.
Well, I guess you learn something new every day. I've never heard it called that before. And [23], Nice connection!
[23] Thank you - that comment (and the Tanga point) saved this for us.
Horrible. Thanks, [21].
It's really bad when the Urban Dictionary is what comes up for an obscure regional colloquialism. Wikipedia works even better than Google, in this case.
Without [23] I'd still be scratching my head...actually I still am but at least I got the answer!
wow, I should come up with one of these things that only a few people in some small obscure part of the country know!!!
Given where I come from, this puzzle made me think of a Sahlen's hot dog wrapped in bacon and smothered in cheese sauce. Hard to think of anything past that (mmmm....).
D'Oh!
common term, uncommon synonym
I should make boudain the answer to a puzzle...that'll learn them.
Absolutely no clue why it's called that, but got it.
Wow. Put me in the "never heard of that before" catagory.
No IDEA why the answer is the answer.
[33] If you do, send some my way - with some stone-ground mustard, if you please.
what I want to know is - where is this term used?
In New England its a WC
I have the feeling I've been doing this puzzle over and over and over and over again...
I'm from the south and I've never heard one called this before.
edit: not woodchuck and this puzzle makes no sense to me whatsoever
I completely feel dumb by this one. Having to look it up on google seems cheap. :(
[23] is what got me there. Thank you. It was only after seeing that I was able to back solve with google.
The answer isn't "whistlepig".
I think the answer should ALWAYS be "whistlepig".
I am also from the south and I have NEVER heard of this before. I wouldn't have gotten it if not for Google.
why I love tanga - you actually learn something. never heard this term before.
