Congratulations on your debut, Harry Zheng, and thanks for evoking memories of my late father and a favourite high school French teacher in a single clue (3-Down) on this New Year's Eve. During a conversation practice class, Mr. Glover asked each student to say what their father did for a living. I didn't know the word for my dad's job title, so on my turn, I employed the "when in doubt, French up the English" technique and said, "Mon père est un conducteur." A classical music fan, he excitedly sought clarification by asking, "Un conducteur?" while miming leading an orchestra and humming. When his performance was complete, I replied, "Non. Woo woo!" while miming operating a freight train whistle. Happy New Year, everyone!
No, I focus my objections on slurs that demean others, not everyday language.
@Michael This post is giving the vibe of a kid frustrated by unfamiliar material or methods at school ("That's lame!"), but it happens to everyone at some point so I'll let you have your moment. I come here to acknowledge one of my quickest solves of today's puzzle, Anna Magnani, whose performance in "The Rose Tattoo" was deserving of her Oscar win for Best Actress. Ciao Bella. Then again, while I'm here, if there are sand, clay, silt, peat, chalk and loam types of soil, wouldn't adding water result in muds with different characteristics?
