Cryptic Stuff

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. 🙂

 

The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water.

Without kindness Granny’s acid is for an unreal bovine ultrasound.

 

You'll need to think outside the box re Granny.

Bear in mind that I have a fondness for Greek mythology.

Also bear in mind that I have a tendency to use abbreviations and acronyms.

 

The answer is not a noun.
