I think Slade’s expiration date as a of pop culture reference expired a couple of decades ago. This was a bit of slog for a young(ish) non-Francophile.
@Audrey Yes, this combo killed me! I actually suspected I had misspelled MATZaH, but Wikipedia convinced me I had not. I had never heard of KENO, so that was no help to me. I kept TWEAKing letters and eventually this clicked in.
I am sure Friday regulars will complain about it being too breezy but for me this was a fun challenge I could solve in a reasonable amount of time. It would have been my fastest solve if not for 53A. As a human person with a pulse I have a vague cultural awareness of Star Trek, but I’ve never seen an actual episode. I got into my head that there was some sort of fan-led campaign to have CBS reboot the series that involved a Vulcan “three finger salute.” Only just now did I recall that Trekkies salute each other with four fingers, splayed between the middle and ring fingers. Funny, the false connections you can draw doing a puzzle like this!
