To be honest I don't expect much brilliance from some entries, merely a cobbled together bunch of words...

But usually common knowledge helps understanding. Research shows that high intelligence lasts long.

If you're travelling from Epping on the Central line the station after Woodford is neither Chigwell nor Roding Valley, it's South Woodford and that's what I'm going for.

Some of us think hard, while others obviously don't. Follow our regular direction!

Shouldn't that be "kick"?

Let's examine your typo - obviously no "s". That one needs excision.

So there really are two forms of rubber duck.

(Or, if you prefer, "rubber dinghy", "radioactive decay", "racial discrimination"...)
