Bond Rebus: Guess the name, word, or phrase
RichardTheBruce
I'm motivated by my Duty.
Rebus /ˈrē·bəs/ noun (plural: rebuses)historical: (in heraldry) an ornamental device representing a name as a pun
- a puzzle wherein pictures and letters present a recognizable word; e.g., letter Y, plus sign, image of an ear as "Year".
- objects (French), or by means of objects
RebusA rebus (ˈriːbəs) is a puzzle device that combines the use of illustrated pictures with individual letters to depict words and/or phrases. For example: the word "been" might be depicted by a rebus showing an illustrated bumblebee next to a plus sign (+) and the letter "n". It was a favourite form of heraldic expression used in the Middle Ages to denote surnames.See the complete article here:
MORE:For example, in its basic form, three salmon (fish) are used to denote the surname "Salmon". A more sophisticated example was the rebus of Bishop Walter Lyhart (d. 1472) of Norwich, consisting of a stag (or hart) lying down in a conventional representation of water.
The composition alludes to the name, profession or personal characteristics of the bearer, and speaks to the beholder Non verbis, sed rebus, which Latin expression signifies "not by words but by things" (res, rei (f), a thing, object, matter; rebus being ablative plural).
Rebuses within heraldry
Further information: Canting arms
Rebuses are used extensively as a form of heraldic expression as a hint to the name of the bearer; they are not synonymous with canting arms. A man might have a rebus as a personal identification device entirely separate from his armorials, canting or otherwise. For example, Sir Richard Weston (d. 1541) bore as arms: Ermine, on a chief azure five bezants, whilst his rebus, displayed many times in terracotta plaques on the walls of his mansion Sutton Place, Surrey, was a "tun" or barrel, used to designate the last syllable of his surname.
THE CHALLENGE:
- Guess the latest picture puzzle and its place in book or film or both.
- When confirmed as correct, either offer your own or I can add the next one.
Expect the obvious to the obscure. Repeats are fair game.
A simple item to start follows. Scroll carefully.

You're welcome to contribute another, or I have one standing by.
Hope it's not too hard :D
That's a fun little game, I have to try and come up with something worthwhile :)
Nice!
("Shay", "Kin" (family synonym), "Knot", "S+Turd") ;)
Fascinating anatomical tidbit.
The Bond community has really made me feel like I, and my anatomical anomaly, have a home.
Sean Connery say The World Is Not Enough cool shit
Neckless confused me.
Good to see the interest in this subject. I suggest after a correct answer where a new Rebus is not offered in 24 hours then the floor is open to the audience. That should keep things moving.
Parsley, sage, rosemary (no thyme), two die/dice.
Do you have another one to offer the audience?
Nothing to offer at the moment, I’m afraid 😅
Great riddle 👍
Good one!
How about this.
No idea how to continue this 🤷♂️
@R1s1ngs0n did all the heavy lifting on that one!
I only had one more level (and snow skis) to go on that, appreciated.
If you have a Rebus ready it's all yours. Or I have more in reserve.
This one's a little looser, think outside the box! Shouldn't be too hard.
Quantum of Solace is my guess
Yep! On to you.
