@George S. not sure if it’s more common in Canada but I use hundo for $100 somewhat often (albeit pretty facetiously)

@Fact Boy not trying to be argumentative but if the hall in which the meals are eaten is the mess hall, then the meals eaten therein must be mess (and merriam-webster agrees). Maybe you’re describing the more modern usage versus how it was used originally?

@SCM there are all sorts of rebuses that are accepted various ways in the app. PB/AU from a while ago comes to mind. Many of the accepted entries in that puzzle led to “unacceptable” words in one direction. Actually, many accepted rebus responses in many puzzles lead to strange words in a given direction, but they’re still accepted as correct! I don’t mind if the rebus always needs to be entered, but this puzzle seems to be a bit of an outlier in the specificity of the response that is required. Still enjoyed the puzzle overall.
