"Curr" does not appear in any of my dictionaries, on-line it is in Miriam-Webster so that seems to indicate US origin. However, for the sake of the game:

Curr

Oh, is that not how you spell 'Sir' when referring JR-M (see assume vs presume thread) ...

Grafts

Another dodgy word coming up - see https://www.wordplays.com/definition/frag . Trying to avoid the obvious plays.

Frags

Isn't that what American soldiers in Vietnam did to the officers with a fragmentation grenade?

 

[EEPhil]

So the link in the above post suggests. I would offer a new meaning these days. You defrag the disk, so perhaps you caused it to frag in the first place?

 

[prpr]

Defrag is just an abbreviated form of de-fragment, not a word in its own right.

 

[EEPhil]

By the same token Frag is just an abbreviation of fragment. That is why I'm doubting the validity of my last play. Ee-aw.

Back on Grafts then.

I must be missing something. Unless you are, allegedly, referring to his possible consumption of various...

Plants.

Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant was playing particularly well against England last year, and Tuffers came out with the line "Pant's on fire today".

Sounds like something that should have made Colemanballs Commentatorballs in Private Eye.
