Difficult for a non-North American today. Never heard of the ancestor, the staff member, the drink, the college and so on. Not a fan of the gimmickry in splitting the answers, but that's just personal preference. A nice challenge, despite the maddeningly insular answers to a lot of clues.
Gosh! Felt like a Sunday to me, lots of specific knowledge which I did not possess beforehand about two types of midwesterner, pacific islanders, aegean islanders, new englanders and old celts! Fun puzzle for a Friday!
A lot of this appeared nonsense on the first go-round. Still no idea what "tap an ale" might mean. Thanks for the explainer for the maddening parts!
@kilaueabart In British English "convo" is used often as a replacement for "conversation", in both relatively formal settings (i.e., at work) and also among peers. The second of your examples though would raise eyebrows in the U.K., and (rightly or wrongly) would create an image of the speaker almost immediately. I've never known it used in any sense other than derogatory - someone describing something as "poofy" would be intimating that something is homosexual and that this is negative.
