(Actually I'm back to not getting the third one, I get the simple definition but the cryptic bit *still* makes no sense)

vaare darts term
Confined next to a bull = inner. The inner is the ring next to the bull in archery. Presume also inner = confined, sort of. Inner rage, that sort of thing?
The rest, cannot really explain. Not even the one you worked out. Have horrible explanation for this first, but it's really bad
Xpost, yeah, like what darragh just said

vaxcbg i only get the first part, the simple bit tbh
― "It's far from 'lol' you were reared, boy" (darraghmac), Tuesday, 27 July 2010 21:45 (thirteen years ago) link
the first, not this first. There's no way on God's green earth I'd have got it though, rather than just fitting an explanation to an already-solved clue.
― ailsa, Tuesday, 27 July 2010 21:45 (thirteen years ago) link
'morbid fear one hates to have' is hardly cryptic at all tbh, not a good clue in that overthinking it would put you off imo

What is 'one hates to have' doing, though? I agree it could be nothing.
