THEME: letter H substituted for by IT in common phrases creating odd phrases
GOOD ONES:
Cheesecake ingredient? GAM [WWII vintage term for leg; cheescake pix were pin-ups. Rita Gam was a minor actress then.]
Classics, e.g. IPODS [I-Pod Classic]
It may be seen on a dog CHILI [after I exhaused collars and fleas I thought food]
Third degrees? PHD'S [sometimes they give you the third degree to get the degree]
BTW:
Swing both ways and literal hint to {theme} SWITCH HIT [The idea of the theme makes sense --- simply substitute IT for H. And IT plus H is indeed an anagram for HIT. What I don't get is the clue: in what way is HIT switched? For example:
SITE DEVIL > SHE DEVIL, but the word HIT is missing and so cannot be switched. "Split HIT" to SWITCH HIT" might be accurate but senseless.
RATING: ?
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
