I think 19 is urchin but that doesn't suggest anything for any of the others.

No urchins, nor McDonalds, but another Mac features in the list.

These have the look of anagrams.

That's what I thought as well, especially "I'd hoe weed", but the best unscrambling I could find for that is "Whee Diode".

Anagrams with a rogue letter? Spiny lout > unspoilt + y or pulsation (substituting an a for the y)

I'll add that 20 is a complete set. There's an ephemeral quality to these.

Is it so ephemeral that they have now completely vanished?

I am completely stumped and have no idea how to start. You're too clever for me!

I believe they are all still correct today, but I fully expect some to require replacement by the new year. Most won't be around this time next year, I reckon.

So, are you going to give us any more clues, or can you please provide the answers to this quiz?

Well, the only clue I'm give is that these are indeed anagrams, and that when you solve one, you'll very quickly solve them all.

At random I tried No 20 - cheated a bit and used wordsmith.

I came up with "Balls in vice" which seemed apt.

I'm trying to think of clues which will help, but won't give the game away.

There's a geographical link between 4 & 7.

And another between 8 & 9.

And another between 2 & 16.

Others exist too, but they may not be as helpful as the above.

But are they geographical expressions??

No, but there may be subtle differences in the letters used in each as a result.
