A Bunch of Burnage

A few weeks ago I worked at getting the briars removed from the edges of our back yard. Over the holiday weekend, Mrs. Cue and I burned the heaps of bushes and cuttings that had piled up. What a job! If I were to tell my brother-in-law about the ordeal he would have said "That's some serious burnage, dude!". I love the guy. So, with my brother-in-law as inspiration...start with the word "BURNAGE" and change one letter then anagram to find the answers to the following clues.

-1. morsel
-2. direction
-3. sausages
-4. noisy squabble
-5. citronella or buttercups for example
-6. annoyance
-7. flourish
-8. addle-brain
-9. more emaciated

2. bearing

That's the right direction, Joan

7. burgeon

Hi Cue.

3. bangers

9. gaunter

1.Granule

Good solves!

4. Argumen (think I have heard this word used instead of argument, but may be wrong) - Hi Cue

Bernie

5. bugbane

Hi, Bernie. I can't find "argumen" as being a word. Try again.

Jema

8. bungler

6. umbrage

Indeed!

4. brangle

Excellent!
