Question Author

6 ac) That is to say, I'm not sure it floats (4) ???M (?M?M assuming MISA).
Scum would fit is COSTA is correct.

Thanks everyone. COSTA and SCUM it is. I know costa is a bone, but don't quite get the sacrifice bit - unless it's some tenuous reference to COSTing being the sacrifce.

bibblebub

basically yes:- http://thesaurus.yourdictionary.com/sacrifice in the sense of a loss sustained in the accomplishment of or as the result of something
