@Asher B. Makes perfect sense though?? Steal the kiss from the word to make it fit the clue. Give a hug to the other words to make them fit. Have a little whimsy :)
@loftyc rappers used to put of ~mix~ of their songs onto ~tapes~ at one point. Digital media killed that, but the idea is still the same to have a demo of your work. Name stuck, media format didn't. Make a mental note of it for next time.
@D it's a common enough term. If you couldn't get it it's on you, not the editors.
@Charles i don't think that mylar alternative = mylar balloon alternative = latex was unfair at all
No number of Wicked clues will ever make me want to watch that movie. But if I had seen it I'd probably have finished that NW corner much faster.
@Mike nothing new. French and Spanish in particular show up quite often. Work the crosses if you don't know it.
I like that the answers on either side of the pacific ocean worked geographically too
@Jonathan Baldwin apparently they were made with eel at one point <a href="https://britishfoodhistory.com/2012/01/22/eel-pie-and-mash" target="_blank">https://britishfoodhistory.com/2012/01/22/eel-pie-and-mash</a>/
@loftyc just wait till you find out about other words whose meanings have changed!
@Chet "I wasn't clever enough to get the theme so clearly NYT did something wrong" It's okay to not get everything every time.
Realized I lost my streak Saturday because I never went back and finished it like I intended to :( 56 days... Oh well, this one was nice. I liked LEVIES crossing LEVEE
@S Godwin quick look at the Wikipedia page for antivenom says that they're synonyms. Maybe you know something i don't though. I do agree about gasoline, but the rest of the puzzle was so clever that I didn't mind that one.
Finished in Monday time I feel like a genius, but wish it were harder
@Xword Junkie you might get botox tea if you try making kombucha without properly disinfecting everything first
@Cathy Parrish OSU is without a doubt the bigger rival. It's such a big rivalry that people who never went to either school but happen to live in the same state as one of them vehemently hate the other. Not much of a nit to pick really, just a mistake you made in your solving.
@D if you got it then I really don't get your beef with it...
Really liked "Wilde thing". Super fun Friday, got hung up for like 5 minutes looking for a typo which I finally caught.
@Wingnut they call them dinks in pickleball from what I've gathered listening to my coworkers. I just accepted it and move on 🤷♂️
Yesterday was a Tuesday PR and today was a Wednesday PR. Wish this week were a little harder, hope tomorrow is tricky!
@5cat but they were GIs...and yanks doesn't fit...
@Ryan although Wednesday was extra hard for me this week so I'll take an easy Friday I guess
@Pat Engel across rebuses are numbers and are in circles, square them to make the down rebuses. Then look at the revealer again.
@Redleader Then you've got a misplaced modifier going on and nothing makes sense. Yoda would know that the adverb should tag along with the verb.
@Allen boohoo they use slang in the crossword sometimes. Least it's not another Taylor Swift clue.
Lot of Zs, Xs, and Vs in this one. Fun puzzle, though I had to resort to keyboard mashing the cross of YENTAS and NAST (that's on me though, not the creators)
Broadway themes usually set me up for a slow solve since I know nothing about that world. This one wasn't too bad though! Finished significantly faster than my average without knowing who that guy is.
@Francis Both spellings are appropriate, cleveland clinic has it spelled without the A <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/7246-cesarean-birth-c-section" target="_blank">https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/7246-cesarean-birth-c-section</a>
@Rich in Atlanta should have let him go on thinking that so that his boss looks at him funny next time he asks to leave work cos he doesn't feel good
@Add not a rebus, circled letters are confirmations and they are on a slant/angle/bias.
@Joe "that girl" could be the subject of a sentence in which case SHE is just as suitable.
@Jen either all the letters or the first letter will work.

@B Was a minute faster than my average Wednesday. Wasn't that hard.
New Thursday best for me! Really enjoyed this one!
@Charlie Fuchs you should try playing it sometime, real fun board game.
@MountainGoose feels good don't it? What was your time?
@MFSTEVE mine was really dumb. Had BENEFITPACKAGES and realized I had to move the S to benefits. Accidentally spelled it BENEFITSPAKKAGE and missed the double K because KATE made sense to me lol
@Kirk Woerner don't say never, no reason you couldn't put in a more complex EQ circuit.
@Stacy BIAS cut fabric is a stretch. This cw wasn't.
@LC me too, felt real silly for not catching it sooner.
