@Xword Junkie "BRODOWN was also unfamiliar, and I hope it will soon exit the language, along with the other BRO-words." Agreed! I do not think it is even really 'in' the language in any meaningful way as is. I'm not saying its never been used, but I think its more of a running joke to use the term than an actual word. I think it entered pop cuture in a 2011 South Park episode. Although, judging by the use of the word Snarf, it exiting the vernacular will not preclude its use in a puzzle.

@Erin & Erin Chick Corea is not that old, but it is obscure even though judging by the grammy's Chick is a big deal in that specific scene. NPR published that only 17% of those buying tickets for Jazz performances are under the age of 45. Contemporary jazz is definitely known way less in the overall culture than more classical periods.
