ok a belated hint then
Homey is a synonym for a bit of slang

the straight clue is "nasty ride"

Morsul the Dark · 11-13-2007, 01:56 PM

homey is slang also known as dawg or "G"

G, after a series of battles, or a WAR
so G, after WAR makes a Nasty ride

WARGS are pretty nasty aren't they? and Goblins ride them

WARG, A nasty ride

Warg whose next...

I thought it was Straight Forward

We could always try my last one again.

Metal-toothed yodel finds lost musician.

If it is obscure it won't be Maglor who is perhaps the most famous lost muso and also I can't work him into the clue per standard crossword conventions ...

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 10-06-2008, 07:23 AM

That is very true, and it isn't Maglor. When I said 'obscure' I meant ridiculously so.

Something makes me want to Say Beren... since he was regarded a 'yodel' to the elves of Doriath

I think that would be 'yokel', although Túrin suffered more with his image in that regard. The clue here is pretty straightforward as cryptic clues go; it's the answer that's obscure.
