Working on this month's Cryptopica. Here's a sample clue - 'like' if you get it, but no spoilers in the replies please. (Had I been in a non-Ximenean mood, I might have limited this clue to just the definition part.) ;) A dread IQ muses on bungling..."Classic Dom!" (7,2,4)

A week to go. Only four correct solutions in so far, one from last month's winner who has generously withdrawn himself from the prize draw, so your odds of winning are currently looking pretty good!

Apologies for delay with the latest Crude Cryptic. Might be a few weeks more. On a separate note, @vizcomic added a definition I submitted to Roger's Profanisaurus - not an original coinage, but a notable omission heard "in the wild"...
