Monday, June 30, 2025, Dena R. Verkuil and Andrea Carla Michaels

I am not familiar with BYEFELICIA ("I'm done with you") as a phrase, but I am familiar with the other three. And I guess YOUTALKINTOME (Classic Robert De Niro line in "Taxi Driver" ... ) is hinting that the four expressions are spoken? Or maybe the "me" at the end signifies that they are all addressed to a particular name? Who knows? It's Monday, and if I hadn't made the mistake of guessing AcES for "Certain draft picks?" instead of the "better-with-the-Down-answer" ALES, I would have been finished in about three minutes. As it is, I had to hunt around for the typo.

SHERA

Anywhooo, there's some quality fill in here. CATPERSON, of course, and GUARANTEE is nice. "A milk drinker may have one" (MUSTACHE) is gross. I was never a big fan of that ad campaign. Wipe your damn mouth off. 

"Carping" is a really oblique clue for FLAK, don't you think? And I don't think I have ever heard anyone say "HOLY camoly!" But let's end on a good one - I loved TWISTY (Serpentine). :)
