MikeO Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 was just gonna say baseball. Think brave=native American. The definition of the answer has to be at the beginning or end of the clue so what "Hair raising action" (emphasis on hair) did they indulge in ?

johnh Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 lol sorry john, never claimed to be the brightest TT'er I used that example because of the American slant.
