Never heard of a "HANK of hair" in my life, but oh well. I also got tricked briefly by FULLOFIT -- I had "_ULL___IT" and I was thinking "no way this is BULLS**T"... that would've fit the clue perfectly but maybe that would have been a step too far for the NYT crossword, lol.
@Atavistic Cringeworder This feels overly semantic. Many people would say "humans are descended from apes", even though technically humans ARE apes.
Got super tripped up by "precedes Beth" not being ELIZA, haha
I didn't know the Frost poem at all but I don't think the poem was substantially harder than any other Thursday puzzle (I actually solved it faster than my average!) Other than the theme, "Prime Cuts brand", "...Dalai Lama", and "What a clutch lacks" were the only ones I got stuck on
@Nancy "All done?" is pretty common in question form, in my experience.
@Melvin Hoagland This was my fastest Sunday too, just over 20 mins. Figuring out the line thing early helped a lot.
@Colby Hawkins "This song is a bop" is a pretty common thing to say, especially in the past decade
@Brian Only thing that felt too esoteric here was PADIDDLE - never heard of that despite having 2 siblings... I grew up with LOLCATs though so that probably helped
