I don't comment much, but I just wanted to say I love rebuses and I'm not an expert player! I worry sometimes that the people who hate them will be vocal enough to sway the editors to do them less. Please keep them! Even on a day where I can't get figure it out and have to look at the article to get it, I still think they're clever and fun. Hapy New Year, everyone!
@Pat Bae is slang for the one you love (short for baby). Merriam Webster lists the first use in 1983, but it became common in the last decade or so.
@Brendan I did the same thing. My first thought for how it could have happened was perhaps being a required textbook for a lot of classes. I don't know if that's the case, but it was the best explanation that came to mind.
I'm a newer solver, too, and this one was great! I had to look up some trivia to get things moving here or there, but was able to complete the whole thing without coming to the tricky clues hints or the forum. I try not to because I hate having the fun ones spoiled, and today I was able to do it! I don't mind filling in some proper names and such if it means I still get to suss out the ones that make you think.
@Steven M. Evan Edinger had a video recently about words and phrases that mean the opposite thing in the US and the UK. He covers table and moot. It's quite interesting! (I'm using quite as an American here.) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fQGz6CHP4w" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fQGz6CHP4w</a>
So far on mobile it seems to behaving better for me.
