![]() ![]() was indicated for 49A but it's Saturday.įrom _EREMOJIS, I put in cucumbeEREMOJIS, thinking "huh, I thought it was an eggplant." Luckily I noticed immediately that I had beER in the middle so that was ruled out.Īnd from the Z of SCHNOZ, guessing it had to be ZIMBABWEAN at 29D, I started mentally checking crosses to confirm that guess. 49A was IMHO before TOME (is it a DOOK if it forms a real word? I don't think so). Black ink at 10D, which was tiNed before HINDS. Also, if you think an E-CARD is "lame" in real life, you should see it in a crossword grid. ![]() and yet I find that I've completely stopped using it, the way I completely stopped using "retarded" to mean generically "stupid" many, many years ago. I don't think using "lame" in this way is blatantly offensive. It's perfectly common colloquial usage, but definitely seen as ableist language in some corners. Sorta surprised to see "lame" used the way it is in 26D: Lame (but eco-friendly) birthday gift ( E-CARD). Always something else that wants my attention more. I have had " ROGUE ONE" on my Netflix watch list forever, and yet I somehow can never quite bring myself to. Back-to-back "Star Wars" answers in the crossword, both with the word ONE in the title. Do you just, like, draw "jobs" out of the "jar"? According to Martha Stewart, apparently so. I have seen the chore wheel before, but not the JOB JAR. While stuff like SYSTOLES and IN A TIE and SET MENU doesn't really float my boat, I appreciated some of the unusual shorter stuff like COACH K and " I'M LIKE." I'm unfamiliar with the JOB JAR. But it also thinks taco is a sexting emoji, so. Oh, hey, it looks like Bustle specifically identifies the hot pepper as a sexting emoji. As I'm typing all this, I am realizing that though the NYT has grown fond of the term "sext," I'm not sure it knows what one actually looks like. Too easily confused with a burning sensation. I just have trouble believing that in an actual sexting situation, you'd crack out the hot pepper emoji. But you'd use it more in a public declaration-like if you find a celebrity hot, maybe (?). Related to indicating that you find someone hot, yes. ?! I am saying that I have trouble believing that said emojis are related to sexting. Unless it's being used for its roughly phallic shape, in which case. Do people really do that? Send sexts w/ HOT PEPPER EMOJIS in them? I know that emoji as an indication of someone's relative attractiveness, but if you're sexting someone, presumably that symbol is unnecessary. The answer that ended up giving me the most trouble was, weirdly, HOT PEPPER EMOJIS ( 55A: Sext symbols). This one had a raft of borderline obscurities ( SEGNO, MASSIF, ANSELM, bleepin' STANHOPE!), but I'd seen them all before (actually ANSELM I just straight-up knew, yay medievalism). ![]()
