Can’t resist thinking of other portmanteaux: The games I have on my phone are all freemium set-ups, and I have to endure &%$# ads to get hints on, say, Wordful. I could imagine a guy asking that to his proctologist (ANALYST?). I could see myself asking my dentist that. I’m fine with WHATS NEXT for that anxious person question.
Y SHAPE took forever to see even though Tracy Gray and I used it in a grid a couple of years ago.įirst entry, a gimme, was SOFT G. Oh, wow, this article (" Get Over Here, Man: Decoding the Bro-Hug") (written by a woman!) totally gets me today: after rooting the BRO-HUG in the history of African-American resistance to white norms of social decorum, she goes on: " When you see twenty-something investment bankers using it to greet each other at a happy-hour spot, chances are they’re not using it to subvert an oppressive institution more likely they’ve adopted the bro-hug for its social function." BRO-HUG to SAKE bomb to CFO -that's a career arc right there. BRO-HUG is pretty much the defining entry for this puzzle, in that it feels like the thing the puzzle is most proud of, and it's the very thing that makes me want out. nope, that's how it's spelled, so all's well. I forgot that TYMPANI was spelled with a "Y" so I freaked out briefly when I had TYM- to start that answer, but. Definitely didn't know HYDROXYL, but was able to work through it without too much trouble ( 9D: Chemical group with the formula -OH). That was the only serious snag for me today. I'm fine being wrong, but then to have the right answer be that weak (as fill-in-the-blanks go), ugh.
Got SOFT G instantly (for once!) but (off that "T") thought 19A: _ bar was TIKI. I enjoyed seeing Uncle PHIL and the GOOD DOGGY. feels very This Puzzle ( 1A: Stick to one's guns / 9A: Mission for a Mafia member). Opening with guns at 1- and 9-Across (a metaphor, and then an actual murder). signal in the clue because everyone knows what that is, then you also believe that every knows that what that is is a DEGREE, so why is DEGREE there? "I got my M.A." not (probably) ". in the clue (boo), and second of all, is a redundancy. DEGREE, which, first of all, doesn't signal the abbr. "I SEE" is a good fit for "Gotcha"- I SEE *IT*.

That's someone in the middle of a catastrophe, or series of catastrophes. " WHAT'S NEXT?" is a pretty weird thing for someone who is merely "anxious" to ask. The cluing just felt off to me too, all over the place. I mean, there's one BROAD, but that hardly counts (see 44A). There's only one woman in all of the answers (and clues!) ( DEEDEE), and she's obscure, and she's only there because she provides useful letters ( 18A: Singer Sharp with the 1962 hit "Mashed Potato Time"). It's a super bro'y puzzle that looks and sounds like a dude who watches a lot of sports at his frat house and is totally gonna get a job on Wall Street as a financial ANALYST after graduation, FAM! Gotta get that lettuce (?), son! (see 57D).
