I loved the theme today and thought it was very clever. My one and only complaint is the pairing of an extremely obscure adjective (GELID) with a “rhymes with” cross. I had “GELIM” for a long time because my mind went to “meals” on “wheels”. And lest anyone say “gelid” isn’t obscure, according to Google Books Ngram viewer, its usage peaked in 1834.
This one stretched definitions a little too far for my liking. While technically you could call a person bringing a lawsuit a “suer”, as a legal professional, I have never (in 20+ years) heard that word used. In the context of seeking damages, you could bring a (law)suit, and the person doing so would be called the “plaintiff”, or “complainant”, or “petitioner”, or, if it went far enough, even the “appellant”.
Was I the only one who thought “hmmm, they’ve added Rebuses to Mondays now” until one reached 55-down? Changed a lot of “and”s to “n”s. 😊
@Mean Old Lady - It’s a slang acronym meaning “Original Gangstas”, which, I think for many years referred to the founding members of popular street gangs (remember the “Bloods” and “Crips”?), and was ported into hip hop. The thing that is currently infuriating me, is how 57A somehow doesn’t solve to “surplusage”!
