Too hard for y'all, eh?

Here's much easier one:

Answer is two words, and the letters above are arranged in a circle (in case you can't tell).

Well, I think the second one is Costume Ball (although I've only ever heard them called Masquerade Balls). But I haven't a clue about the first one.

I think the second one is Costume Ball (although I've only ever heard them called Masquerade Balls).

That's correct!

I would think that Costume Balls are different than Masquerade Balls. At the former, people wear costumes; at the latter, people don formal wear or fancy dresses and eye masks. Not sure, though -- never been to a Ball.

 

[Otis]

probably something like : ? ? understanding or standing on ?

Yer on the right track ...

Sir Otis is stingy with clues :cool:

Hey! Some of us have to work!! (Been busy.)

 

[Otis]

standing on graces

I like that one, too.

For mine, think of Grace at Thanksgiving time.

 

[Otis]

Pray for understanding

Oh, that's a good one, too.

So close to mine ...

square dance

That would make a neat rebus; easy as costume ball:


N C E S x D A N
A x x x x x x C
D x x x x x x E
x x x x x x x S
D
A x x x x x x S
N x x x x x x E
C E S x D A N C x (2)

You were very warm on your last guess (right form, wrong synonym).

 

[ksdhart2]

D'oh. It seems so obvious now in hindsight, I can't believe it took me so long to figure it out. I'm pretty sure it's "Thanks for understanding."

 

[Harry_the_cat]

D'oh!!
