@SP A peel is the tool with a long handle and flat, wide head that is used to transfer the uncooked pizza from the bench to the oven and then back bench when it's done.
@Gerry Wachovsky to flag can mean to become tired. "Runs out of gas" is an American English idiom for the same.
@Bob Summers, as in people who sum. GROAN!
Andy Samberg: "Somebody call a barista, 'cause this roast just got dark!" I just went down the rabbit hole of youtube comedy central roasts. Thank you for that! :}
@Andrew Windowpane is not so much a synonym as it is a type - an old underground "brand" name. I hadn't thought about it in probably 40 years. Somewhat arcane, I'd say. Here's something on the origin of Karl the Fog. Turns out it's much more recent than Windowpane. :) <a href="https://www.kqed.org/news/11682057/how-the-bay-areas-fog-came-to-be-named-karl" target="_blank">https://www.kqed.org/news/11682057/how-the-bay-areas-fog-came-to-be-named-karl</a>
I'm going to come down in favor of UPSA daisy - as in what you might say when you lift a small child. AT first I thought it might be a variant of oopsie daisy (or however you spell that) - what you might say when you make a small error. But, UPSA daisy makes sense to me when I say it out loud.
@WMY Can't tell if you're joking about the hip-hop thing. Rag is a bit older than that though ! :) If anyone's interested here's a link to maybe the most famous ragtime tune: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMAtL7n_-rc" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMAtL7n_-rc</a>
I enjoyed that puzzle. The theme brought to mind this little ditty by Pretenders: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TZU8djkO54" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TZU8djkO54</a> Enjoy, one more time, with feeling. And have a great day!
Am I the only one who initially thought Seussical for 44 across? Also, does anyone else remember an album of whale songs being released in the 70s? Finally, i still remember my dad complaining about the sreeching music i was listening to while my mom thought it sounded like that "whale music", as jimmy page played his double neck electric guitar with a bow.
@Marty The circled words pair with the word Pearl. The word directly below it is the name of a pig.
An old name (of someone I never knew) popped into my head that helped me with this puzzle. Does anyone else remember the byline Derrick ! ?
@Charles It's explained in the WordPlay column. In case you don't have access: "Each themed entry — at 19-, 35-, 43- and 61/63-Across — describes a different [Gathering for this puzzle’s attendees]... " "19A, for instance, solves to SQUARE DANCE ... In case you’re still scratching your head: The “squares” in question refer to the puzzle spaces..." So, you are an attendee at a puzzle solving party. Hence the decorations.
@G Just trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.
