"So here's my question ..."
Answer:
IASKYOU
Hint:
Think of how you might phrase a direct request to someone in just three short words.
Explanation:
The clue mimics how someone might start a direct question in casual conversation—"So here's my question..."—which is essentially them saying "I ask you." The answer, "IASKYOU," is a playful, literal take on that phrase, treating it as a single word. It’s a straightforward charade-style clue where the phrasing hints at the answer without any hidden wordplay or tricks.
