THEME: none, but four triples
GOOD ONES: Two after love? THIRTY [as in "Love - thirty" in tennis]
Like music to one's ears? ON KEY [not to me, though, since being on key is not enough to be "music to my ears"]
Strips at a party? STREAMERS
Memorable Ford GERALD [after I went through cars, I came to the most forgettable President of my time.]
Fruit served with a cracker? NUT [nuts are fruits and there are nutcrackers --- I thought, for some mysterious reason, fruit = gay; cracker = Caucasian]
BTW: Window-adjusting tool SCROLL BAR [it would have to be "Window
s adjusting tool" as Window is not the name of the product]
TORTA is Italian only and not used enough in English to qualify for inclusion, but I surely would like one.
ABUBBLE is not a real word though it could be --- maybe if we were talking about Lawrence Welk --- but even then...
RAP ARTIST is an oxymoron (emphasis on moron).
AVIATRIX is a perfectly descriptive word for Anne Morrow Lindbergh; too bad the word has been banned. Last year I read that at the Oscars there was a category called "Female actors." Guess it's as au courant as RAP ARTIST.
SKORT is a combination skirt and shorts my sister wore in the summer of 1957. Don't know if they're still around since skirts have largely been replaced by jeans, which I just recently learned to stop calling dungarees.
(Good luck finding a pair of "grandpa jeans" that actually reach your waist.
Sorry, I'm just a crotch-ity old man.)
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
