[cmruloah]

E.
My first is best when you do it in a streak
My second, you need to inhale in order to be

G.
Hint: read the 'first' and the 'whole' literally (the abyss is not always a metaphor)...

H.
Hint: the second refers to a closed thread.

A, for instance. A funny chapel: Dave. Not in: out. My whole: frog. Answer: Davout Sloww is right for once, that makes absolutely no sense...Dave, is that supposed to be some kind of misspelling of nave? Is that somehow funny? Whole is frog? What does that have to do with Davout?

[grudabor]

Who is Dave Chapelle? How the hell should I know Tacc suffers from insomnia? There are too many cryptic references there...

This is actually a very common specy of puzzle, you call it 'charade' in French.

Only three of the 15 or so I posted remained unsolved, so it's not like you've got a point here.

Dave doesn't sound right to me, dêve (d, e+^,ve) seems more correct to me, though neither shows up in any online dictionary/thesaurus that I looked in. I'm fairly sure the word exists though, just not sure. Frog = french.

Dave
Out

Davout, who is french (A Frog to you english types).
