exaggerate(now I've written it, the spelling looks wrong, but it isn't though it still looks wrong)

scarpers(i.e. 'leaves', maybe an adaptation of Italian scappare to escape; perhaps influenced by folk etymology Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands, Cockney rhyming slang for 'go')
scrape ("R (u)S")(badly worded anagram from above - not a place to get Toys)
Etiquette(A nice way to avoid confusion over selection of last letter from last entry)
