It's all about the cell service these days, but who actually wants to make a GOODCALL? And when I saw GOODCALL for the first time and then looked up and saw "service" at the end of STREAMINGSERVICE I thought the theme might be a reference to tennis. I didn't see the French Open final, because I was away in a place with no TV and very few bars, but I was able to read about it after the fact. Quite a good match.

Anywhooo, this one was nice. PLOTZED (Was verklempt) will always make me think of Mike Myers, for better or for worse. And BREXIT seems a positively mild form of isolationism and xenophobia compared to what we see every day in this so-called country... sigh.

I've never heard of "Steak DIANE (dish flambéed tableside), but if I never do again it will be too soon. My brother went on and on this weekend about how his favorite thing to do is to slowly eat a rare steak with a glass of red wine. Gross.

It seemed weird to clue REARTIRE with "It helps give a car traction." I mean, sure, it does, but so do the front tires. The vast majority of compact, mid-size, and full size cars are sold with front wheel drive.
