Saturday, September 18, 2021 - Three Cheers for OKIE from Muskogee

from Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword · host MP

A challenging Saturday crossword (but aren't they all?). Jean had trouble in the bottom half, unfamiliar with 40A, Upgrade for a train passenger, PARLORCAR, and 34D, Humans, in sci-fi slang, MEATBAGS (ugh!), while Mike had an IMPASSE at 21D, Merle Haggard tune, "_____ From Muskogee", oscillating between ABIE and OBIE, instead of the correct OKIE (which is now burned into his consciousness). He also WENTOUTONALIMB by coining a new music genre as an answer to 9D, Genre popularized by Limp Bizkit and Korn, NUMETAS, instead of the much more reasonable NUMETAL. We love feedback!
