    Very! Well done. The above may be tougher?

    Schooner clue was the clincher, as you noted.

    I think this one represents the backlash over the European Super League

    Super League flop

    Superman
    League of Legends (had to google it)
    Dick Fosbury - flop

    Sorry! I've been out of touch for a month and didn't see @Darlinboy's response to @Canuck's perfect answer. Starting again.

    Well done guys!

    Canuck earned a small silver star for having the elements (other, one) and an answer, but it wasn't the answer I was looking for. So it is technically unsolved. My answer also has three words.

    The order of the photos is key.

    Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

    Quite an historic day, today.

    The 25th anniversary of this invention.

    Without it, we wouldn’t be posting on ΩF...
