REVERSE REBUS PUZZLES IV

Many rebus puzzles are of the "in" type - as TIJUSTME would be Just in Time. JANOB would be An Inside Job. The answers to the clues below are also rebus puzzles of this type, but a description of the solution to the rebus is given first, and you have to construct the rebus. Unlike the traditional rebus - which cannot be read as a real word - the rebuses you construct in this puzzle will be actual words.  

Example: Female relative in quickly departed the scene
Answer: FLAUNTED 
              FL  AUNT  ED 
              An AUNT is a female relative, and the word AUNT is "in" the word FLED, which means quickly departed the scene.
