The catchphrase game

[makanyane]

Scottish Independence?

[Muizer]

Uh.... not quite

[Sar1n]

Wee free men?

Nah...They can take our lives but they'll never take our freedom.

[paleologos]

Time for a hint?

[Muizer]

Mak wasn't that far off with the interpretation of each pic. Not sure I can say more, except that you're looking for an adverb.

[paleologos]

The best I can come up with is "Cuffless Highlander".

[Muizer]

Ha, no. The expression as a whole has nothing to do with Scotland

[paleologos]

Then the first image is misleading.
Try replacing it.

[Muizer]

No, it's well within the premise of this competition. There's only so many words that describe what's in that pic and one of them is correct. The word just does not have the same meaning in the phrase, but that is evidently the whole point of this game.

[Muizer]

Doesn't look like anyone is going to guess, so I'll give the solution:

"scot-free"

That's as straightforward as it gets IMHO. I'll leave the floor to anyone who believes they can revive this seemingly dead competition by posting something people will (try to) guess.

[makanyane]

"scot-free"

aaarrghhh - I was silently trying to guess - but after last clues had got stuck on 'scotch' as in 'scotch the rumours' and couldn't get that to work with second pic

Last Chance Saloon ?

A hint?

[Muizer]

yeah a hard one. "all that glitters is not gold" perhaps?

[makanyane]

Nope...

Big hint: the fact that the pictures are of glittery ornamental birds (or even that they're birds at all) isn't really relevant.

[Sar1n]

A longshot....

A piece of eight?

[makanyane]

You're on the right lines, but no that wasn't what I was thinking of. The answer is even more literal.
