content warning: features gen-z bullshit, dunches, Spanish, homophone clues that exclusively spite Australians and the British, a clue that was ghost-written by juff, a clue that was ghost-written by Pixlate, a clue that full-on yells at old people, a clue that references a New England supermarket chain, a clue that references a Christian rock band but indirectly, fish fights, The New York Times' Connections, and a one-dimensional variety cryptic theme

playtested by Pix and skald
