To me, this was a perfect puzzle. Quite difficult but fair, with a theme that needed no explanation but also had an "aha" moment. Great job, constructor.
Shouldn't it be "YES"SPIN? And I'm sorry, but "KAYO" just feels gross.
Couldn't finish this one without autocheck. Good clues though. Nothing felt "unfair"
@Joe I agree. Even though caped crusader had a question mark it wasn't the best clue. A question mark isn't a licence to not make sense. He's crusading against the bull, I guess. Especially since it's attached to a rather nebulous clue/answer of BABYMOON, which I'm going to guess most people haven't heard of. But again, these are nits in just that corner of an otherwise enjoyable - albeit quick for Saturday - puzzle.
Fun theme. Here are my issues: 46a SIP. With a stretch that big why not just say "up, in a way"? 64d CLAPS. Why is that a question clue?? 'Give a hand' meaning 'clapping' is a common idiom. 84a ILK. Meh. 74d ALLEGORIC. I resisted this answer to the bitter end. 110d GOA. Never heard of such a phrase as 'go-a courtin',' personally.
Any one else have issues with the puzzle not finishing? I had all the correct answers but it wouldn't say I "won". I had to remove my rebuses except for the center one.
@D a lot of people are having issues with BOY and DUNZO but I'm not seeing the issue. But I wholeheartedly agree with KAYO.
