peer agreement (net): -1anti-mice broom Explanation: 'anti-mice broom' if used directly or figuratively in the sense 'New broom sweeps clean'. Or 'anti-mice besom', perhaps, but consider it as an absolutely wild guess. Hope it helps. Good luck, njbeckett! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-12-02 20:06:07 (GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thank you for grading, njbeckett!

4 hrs confidence:
broom used to fight rodents Explanation: I agree with the above - a brooom is a broom, if you use it to sweep or to beat the little devils. In the days of Hanta virus, you may not want to use it for anything else, but it's still a broom. |
