By the way my first thought on my last clue (some way back now) was
A cinch (5,2,4)
I thought it would be doable, as the letter count and the definition part would make it virtually a quick crossword clue, but I thought the cryptic part would be so cryptic as to be not kosher. Any thoughts?
I'm more familiar with the "piece of cake" definition so I wouldn't have even seen the clue as a cryptic one. It lacks some elegance, I think, but perfectly acceptable.
Yes, I was reasoning "tic=small involuntary seizure". Apologies if this is a bit of a stretch--though I've a feeling I've seen it in actual crosswords. Could be wrong.
