fool's way of speaking endless tripe thats not mature

what is the answer please?

[Jumbuck]

IDIOT (fool)

way of speaking = idiom, endless => idio

mature = ripe, take this from the word 'tripe' => t

idio t

[johnpiper]

well done too cryptic for me...i guessed it was idiot but couldnt see why...
any idea on my last one

put this on horse one thinks close to winning post

I have s?a?e

is it stake and if so why?

[Jumbuck]

yes stake because it's a double meaning:

1) money placed for a bet. so you'd put in on a horse that has a good chance of winning

2) piece of wood driven into the ground
