I've traveled to Thailand. I live a few blocks from Thai town in LA. I've eaten at dozens of Thai restaurants. I can't say that I've ever encountered ant eggs. I'm not saying they're not a thing. I'm just saying that "popular tidbit" might be a slight overreach.
@Joe As a former Chicagoan, I'll simply say that I had "trib" typed in the boxes before I finished reading the clue.
Such a crazy coincidence, just yesterday I got overhot putting up my trampoline-like net.
I'm sure "idle chat" is a technically correct expression but just to quell my nagging uneasy feeling I found a Sharpie and added "t-e-r" beneath the answer on my monitor.
I feel like LIFESTYLECREEP could also be used to describe most social media influencers.
Obviously I've been spelling the word "narkotics" wrong this entire time.
Who else thought 11-down was "Stan Thony" until googling his name afterward and feeling like a complete fool? No one. Very well then, carry on.
After seeing 3 down I immediately knew what the theme was and my stomach completely sank. I stared at my screen in total disbelief -- this is literally the theme of the of the crossword puzzle I've been creating for the past 3 months and was just about ready to submit to the NYT. Well, time to find a new hobby.
Even though I've sat in many left aisle seats in my lifetime I was still able to convince myself that they didn't exist.
@Jacqui J Same. In fact I came into this comments section specifically to see if everyone was completely up at arms over this "glaring typo".
@cameron Avril is French for the month of April (Mars is March). That being said I agree today was name heavy.
