I was ready to be mad when CReePSUP wasn't correct. I went through a whole series of thoughts . Who says it CRAMPS UP when things increase sharply?! Arrrggghhhh wait oh I misinterpreted the Under The Sea reference haha I get it now. Fun one.
@Michael Demo is short for demographic, so basically which generation is typically the parents of the Alpha generation?
@Barry Ancona cards don't indicate penalties at all. You can have a card without a penalty, and a penalty without a card. It's like cluing STRIKE as "Indicates an out, in baseball".
Boy did I get hung up because my brain decided to turn the Bose of Bose-Einstein Condensate into bOSEN.
@Mike I was briefly confused why alcohol would count as a utensil purchase, before I reread.
I don't usually enjoy rebus puzzles but this was a lovely one. Enjoyed the clue and aha moment.
I always thought of the ? as marking wordplay, and today's puzzle is making me think I'm wrong. To me, TRAVIS KELCE is just a regular answer for Kansas City star. I feel like wordplay there would be ANTARES REID or PROXIMAHOMES
@Gabo yeah, I found "penalty cards" online as well and thought that must be it and I was wrong, but I also just searched and read the IFAB Laws Of The Game and not once in 207 occurrences could I find the term "penalty" referring to anything other than a penalty shot or the penalty area. I do think this is an incorrect clue.
