Very poorly clued. The first word of the phrase “dos and don’ts” is not pronounced like the Spanish word for two — though it is spelled the same way. And the first word of “fire opal” is not spelled like the Danish word for four — though it is pronounced similarly. You can’t have your cake and eat it too, my friend! Furthermore: “Brute” does not mean a person with poor manners, but rather a violent person. In a video game, a portal may be associated with “swirling visual effects” but that’s not what the word means. Soap is very seldom a “bubbly bar” (go take a look at yours). Would anyone really say “I was ate out of house and home.”? If one were to say if, it would obviously be “eaten.” According to a brief Google search, a “Sheila” is not specifically a “young” woman, but a woman or girl. And it would more accurate to add that it is old-fashioned and faintly derogatory at this point.
