While it was done some years ago I see, I thought I would try a cryptic crossword-like thread for fun and to try and boost a little more interest here. I made up the below question for anyone interested in such a challenge. I thought the first person to get it correct might come up with the next question. A clue though - if you copy one from a newspaper or magazine etc., the answer can often be found on the internet. I can explain the answer for anyone who asks. ๐
The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water.

deja vu

Yes, that's it.
Heard you, Frenchy, at last mistaking hussy for rerun (4,2)
WORDPLAY
heard [indicator:homophone]
you, Frenchy = vous (French for "you"), sounds like vu
at last [indicator:position], i.e., put vu at the end
mistaking [indicator:anagram]
hussy [charade] = jade, scrambled to form deja
hence deja+vu
DEFINITION
rerun = dรฉjร vu
