New game

[Tambora]

I'll start this and see if it's as much fun as it looks!

I'll give one and then give the answer to show as an example.
But you only post the cryptic part and let others guess what it is.

[Tambora]

Wouldn't that be "cereal killers?"

Well that wouldn't be very cryptic.
Nor would it be a well known saying.

If it doesn't catch on, then it doesn't catch on.
Just thought I would try it.

This game takes a little more imagination than the keep a word games.
