@Petrol What a coincidence - I did it standing on my back with one arm behind my head.
@Paul Actually, OTC = Over The Counter (drugs), meaning without a pre[script]ion.
No. A smirk is not a wry look. Wry: funny in an understated, sarcastic or ironic way. Smirk: an annoying, self-satisfied smile.
My first thought for "Certain slip-on" was BANANA, and the first N worked with NOFUN, so I had it in there for a while.
@Sam Corbin Penicillin is a naturally occurring substance. Fleming didn't invent it, he discovered it.
@Mike I think you may be commenting on the wrong puzzle. There is no 27D in the 2/28/26 puzzle, and nothing in any clue about blueprints.
@Dan Yeah, I came here to say something about that. A plural clue supposed to have a plural answer.
@Alan That is definitely not Bill Gates.
7D is simply wrong. Grover Cleveland said that to Benjamin Harrison. FDR was only 26 years old when Grover Cleveland died. Not sure where you came up with that.
@Cyndie Bah, that'll teach me to be more careful in my research. You're right; according to William Leuchtenburg, that was directed to FDR, which actually makes more sense anyway.
@Pat Good call. I knew of the other spelling, but didn't realize it was exclusively a metal framework. <a href="https://www.thefreedictionary.com/grill" target="_blank">https://www.thefreedictionary.com/grill</a>
@Dan In the Navy, UNREP is Underway Replenishment, when a supply ship pulls alongside you at sea.
@NYC Traveler Exactly. Wry is Bruce Willis. Smirk is King Joffrey.
@Andrzej I don't think it's the phrase itself, so much is the spelling that's annoying. For me, anyway.
