Cryptic Stuff

[not_for_sale2025]

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.

You’ve got it.

It's been announced: insert into rectum, shocked expression! Is that an underlying bit of naughtiness, or are you pleased to see me? (8)

It’s been announced [indicator:homophone]
insert into rectum = in your end (sounds like innuend)

shocked expression = o

       innuend+o

underlying bit of naughtiness = cryptic definition of innuendo 

“Is that […] or are you pleased to see me?” = example of typical and well-known sexual innuendo

Over to you, not_for_sale.

Holy salamander on toast, that was almost a dead heat!

Over to you, she-elephant.

Thanks Countessa.

One way and another it appears rather unpretentious.
