Silly me, limiting myself to the English language...

Yeah, vison, I'm the one with the hump now.

Please God no.
Hey!!

I thought it was nifty, Lidless.

Don't be all huffy cuz you thought of it and thought, nah, can't be . . .

C'mon. Don't rob me of my moment in the cluely spotlight.

It was trés nifty, vison!

After your "oasis" and "all the heavy......." clue (tricksy as it was), I kept thinking camel.....but what good was THAT?

But a few seconds after reading your final clue, dromedary just appeared....like a shimmering mirage within my parched little brain.

Now I'm going to return to painting my kitchen wall whilst (hopefully) coming up with a new puzzle.
