As far as we know, it's one word

I just know this is gonna go round and round in my head all night 

Hope we get an answer soon .....................when and if we do - I just know that I wont get it 

Lyrics from a song......Kookie, Kookie (lend me your comb)... 

E: What's with this comb caper, baby? Why do you wanna latch up with my comb? C: I just want you to stop combing your hair...& kiss me. You're the maximum utmost. E: Well, I beans & I dreams goin', I'm movin' right now 'Cause that's the kind of scene that I dig...baby, you're the ginchiest!

Last word of song..

that works.

Nah

Lets see....

Ginchiest is a type of man who wears skinny jeans....

Ginchiest is often seen on the catwalk....

Ginchiest is all around us....

It doesn't feel like it to me.

don't know what any of it means so anything would fit as far as i'm concerned. i just like the ginch () who stole christmas so that's my winner.

Teddyboy fits in hehee, not sure about all around us?? 

Well i'm off to sleep on it, Nighty nighty good folk 

Ginchiest =

Whole word = Vain

Chi = Ch'i or qi (氣), "life-force" in Chinese culture

Chest = In Medical Journal

Gin = Renders me staggering and speechless

Ginch = 

Ginch

oh! wow! (never had the clap on here, even though i've been called the quim )

Clue says "....is often vain...." so I don't think the word has to mean vain at all.

ok im back i managed to get some more clues and its left me even more confused3

the word can leave you staggered, it can leave you speechless, and has multiple uses ?????????????????????

some of the guesses this morning chamelion , undernourished (they said that was a good thought guess)

Ug!

I'm awake now, and just read all of the thread, i didn't realise that Teddyboy had already been done.. oops. 

So how will we know what the correct word is?

If undernourished is a good guess the .............I'm not getting it at all! How does that fit the clues 

idiotic ?

id - could be vain

idiot - could wear skinny jeans

dio (r) found on cat walk

dio italian for God (all around)

tic (could leave you speechless or staggering)

Hippest

Vain

SkinnyJeans

Found on catwalk

Speechless

Undernourished man wers skinny jeans

a lot of people you see on the catwalk are undernourished

Undernourished people are all around us

Undernourishment can lead to dizzynes - leave you staggered

Not sure about the multiple uses - and it's more than 3 syllables - which is probably why it's not correct.

But it has 4 syllables

Id - i - ot - ic

Only 2 syllables though....and I don't think it has to mean vain.

Someone put us out of our misery. 

Please. 

I thought of 'audacious'.  Something audacious can leave you speechless or be staggeringly good (or bad), some cat-walk gear could be described as audacious.  But then it isn't - as far as I know - in the medical dictionary.  As for 'all around us' then that doesn't hang together either, unless that clue refers to the last two letters of the word.  Another thought - if the question setter is a fan of cryptic crosswords then the 'us' could appear in the middle of the word, like 'fussy' etc.

I really am giving up now, bugger it!

I'm completely fed up with this puzzle 

i thought of :-

eccentric

or

avant-garde

or

sick - (my daughters use 'sick' for something really good)

these are as well as my earlier guess of bohemian

Someone posted an additional clue Soozy that said it only had 3 syllables. I think it was Elaine up there somewhere who posted quite a few other clues.

I'm still none the wiser though.

Who has the answer?

I'm bored, and want another clue. 

me too suzy ... surely we must know the answer soon

I'l never ever get over it if we don't find out the answer -----------------------------it'll haunt me to my grave 

Rexi, I'm doing all I can to avoid this, but it's one of the few threads on here that is actually altering my state of mind in real life. 

 Me too - every night it goes round and round in my brain!
