Blimey that's a toughie!

The nearest i can get is B O Y S

"B " is in boys but not in girls.

"O" is in poor but not in rich.

"Y" is in fly.(without the y you would just have fl)

"S" is in animals ( the "s" makes animal plural which is what they need to drink it) but not in "we can't"

Ok it's not perfect , but i can't see what else it could be Thinking [*-)]

Any other ideas ?  Dj maybe ?

Hi,

I have to admit that this is a really confusing one.To tell the truth I couldn't figure it out.But it doesn't mean that I haven't  made several guesses so far.Might there be a problem with the question pattern? Or else it will remain unsolved I'm afraid. :/

Lots of love,

DjB

Hi All

 This one is doing my head in.

My latest guess for the four letter word is CHOP  ( don't laugh here's how lol!)

The "O" is in boys but not in girls.

The "P" is in poor but not in rich.

The "H" is the symbol for Hydrogen, so if you had this you could fly (hot air balloon)

The "C" ( sounds like sea)  the animal seagull can drink this, but we can't.

Ok it's a obscure, but i am getting desperate now ! Smile [:)]

I guess the answer may be :  HUMP

  Hump as a noun means something that bulges out or is protuberant or projects from a form. This i referred as Penis ( male reproductive organ )...i guess females dont have....:-)

  Hump as a verb means arch one's back...this is generally done by poor before rich resulting in getting their back's arched...

   Hump as a verb also means having sexual intercourse....when u r involved in it....u generally hav high spirits and feel like flying..

  For the last condition,
                 Animals like camel and some cattle.. will use their hump to drink when they cant find water.. but we cant..
                                                                 
I think I got..!! didn't I........?
