The answers are:
DEBUGGOLDSMITH
Goths sublimed also works
HOTDOGS – SUBLIME
Hotdogs Sublime here too! A textbook oxymoron. It’s a better answer than the OA; in fact I’m surprised it isn’t the OA, given the puzzle’s taste for the absurd.
Was looking for a pair to HOTDOGS!
hotdogs – sublime
equally surprised it wasn’t the OA
This took me forever, I found hotdog and sublime, but didn’t figure to put them together for like an hour
This is what I ended up with as well. It was a bit of a struggle today though. Got sidetracked with Hogtied for quite a while.
Got the same here! Portillo’s chili dogs would fit this description! 😋
Bedbug – Goldsmith
BEDBUG – GOLDSMITH
One uninvited passenger on his first day in the trade and he was saddled with the nickname for life.
An LB very short story.
Yes, the HOTDOGS were SUBLIME,
but I DOUBT the THEOLOGISM°.
The BIOLOGISM was MULTIHUED
and it OUTBLUSHED the DEMIGODS.
The End.
🙂
How about GOLDBUGS (investors who believe the price of gold will perpetually increase) and SMITHED (where one is Smithed prior to being demoted or unemployed)?!
Outblushed the Demigods, yes!
The Demigods were Outblushed by the Goldbugs, who Smithed them!
Hmmmm…There are two blogposts for today.
Yes-weird. I was on the other with your great solve , Radio. I had BEDBUG-GOLDSMITH.
GOTHS SUBLIMED
Ancient Germans purified
Same here. Though it felt like cheating because GOTHS was part of a solve very recently. But I’ll take the win.
Same for me. ALIOW
GOLDSMITHS – SUBTLE. For when you need a tasteful jeweler.
Almost immediately today.
This was mine, too—the only one that LB accepted. My others were DOUBLE–EGOTHEISM* (interesting to mine some TI from there), and MISDOUBT—THEOLOG*
GOLDSMITHS / SUBTLE as well.
GOLDSMITHS-SUBTLE
GOLDSMITHS – SUBSOILED. Yours was more efficient
OUTBLUSHED DEMIGOD.
Had blushed demigod but gave up in frustration without spotting the “out”
Hotdogs-Sublime! Team work with my bestie!
OUTBLUSHED — DEMIGOD
I originally had MISDOUBT — THEOLOGISM but LB did not accept the latter.

Goodnight world! Off to dreamland…
CLOSED ??
Hi RrrF,
The answer came to me as soon as I CLOSED my eyes.
Hey, Sir BILL DUFFIN, and LWMMM,
CLOSED is wrong! Huhuhu…😵💫🥴
What about CURFEW ??
Hey, Sir Bill Duffin,
Yes, absolutely! CURFEW, indeed! Yay! 🤓🤗
Double thumbs up! 👍👍
☢️🌹
Well let’s have another wake up cup of COFFEE and think about this.
Hey, LWMMM,
I weaned off coffee a long time ago…The closest thing that I enjoyed it is through sniffing the lovely aroma when my dad have his coffee in the afternoon.

i choose the OA to your riddle to be:
CALMED 😇
😎
😇😎
GOTHS-SUBLIMED
After chasing mugshot, biologism, blemished, etc.for quite a while.
GOTH was part of the OA just two days ago!
Wow, I didn’t realize it was that recent. Hard to attribute that to randomness ?!?
Same here!
DEBUT THEOLOGISM* (pretty sure that’s not a obscure word)
I agree, Oscar. ☕
Moving forward, I’m adopting the notation of a degree symbol over a word denoting it’s inclusion in OED. Like this: THEOLOGISM°, since the asterisk * is already being used for PSW. Surprisingly, THEOLOGISM is apparently not a PSW. It’s still hard for me to see the clear edges of what’s in and what’s out.

GUMSHIELD DOUBT
anyone else??
I have always heard them referred to as mouthpieces, but excellent solve!
Thanks Bill!
Goldsmiths Subsume
Another OUTBLUSHED – DEMIGOD. 😳🙏
Mmmm… several possibilities, for right now i’ll just submit
SUBTITLED DOGMUSH^
Don’t know what symbol to use for Dogmush – LB doesn’t like it and I don’t think it’s in OED as “Dogmush” but it seems like a reasonable word to me – another word for dogfood.
It does show up in other places on the web including a SCMP (South China Morning Post) story from about eight years ago … completely different context.
Words that are in dictionaries but LB didn’t take today included:
MISGO – this could precede “outblushed” which LB accepted.
Misgo is in many online dictionaries including M-W, Collins, and the OED which dates it back to the 1300’s.
BISMUTHOUS – this could precede “Sledge”. Bismuthous is also in several online dictionaries, including OED which dates bismuthous to the 1880’s but notes it is very rare.
THEOLOG and some related words but I’m too tired to discuss them right now.
😎
Goth – Sublimed. Liked Hedgehogs – Subtitle – Emu for a threesome.
oops … Goths
Translation troubles with the film. Still better than dubbing, though!
Hotdogs sublime and it took all day.
Same
Goldbugs Smithied.
Yep, beat them out on an anvil!
