We got all cryptically inclined on coke, I mean on the coke thread. So as per Dust's suggestion here is where to post your cryptic clues.
Post them here if you're stuck and need help or just to torture people.
Here's GM's question to start the ball rolling

If that's it, then I got it immediately from the other thread (and pondered on it being 9 characters long)... somehow I doubt it ...

If i was a geek i'd probably know a cute little four letter acronym for that thing dogs do when they tilt their head to the side like; "what you talkin about willis?" and i'd write it here......

If it was only 4 letters, I'd say 'mean' (man + e)

Having said i'd give a clue, i can't really think of one that doesn't give away the answer.
But I will tell you that it means break (and not break as in rest, break - think waves)
