Just the one today !

2d Head man in the New Testament (4)
?O?N

Please explain Thank you

[chelle7272]

John (the baptist)

[bibblebub]

John

that and head are both words for a toilet

[dannyk13]

John had his head served on a plate

[Quizmonkey]

John - slang for toilet (head on a ship)

[dannyk13]

Toilet?

[dave1948]

Super quick answers. I think the agreement is John though \\i can't think where the reference is to toilet !

[dave1948]

I forgot my manners.

Thank you all !

[dannyk13]

Nor can I so reason for ?

[chelle7272]

I think if you read it is as a double definition, but admit i didn't see it either

[dannyk13]

But no connection to New Testament and I don't think the crossword is cryptic.

[bibblebub]

head = JOHN because they are both synonymous with toilet

man in the new testament = JOHN - follows Matthew, Mark, Luke

[chelle7272]

Head = john
man in NT = john

I don't like it either just trying to see it!

[chelle7272]

I thought it was cryptic though, and 'head' to misdirect you to 'chief' or similar

It's a perfectly sound double-definition clue - which I explained about 10 posts ago! Nothing to do with J the B.
