PETTYTYRANT is excellent, as is EBONICS, which isn't heard of much any longer. I haven't had a BOILERMAKER in quite a while, and probably won't, but I learned on Friday of something referred to as a "loaded beer," which is usually some type of beer, of course, with a shot of tequila in it. I didn't have one, but maybe sometime in the future I will, although I'm not actually in college anymore, where it would probably be more appropriate. EELY...terrible, as is OATEN. This seemed a bit easy for a Friday offering.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-80837066666590977042016-06-10T18:29:00.111-04:002016-06-10T18:29:00.111-04:00Yeah...

(CAUCUSED). Great clue, timely answer. I like the top two 16s much better than the bottom two, but PETTYTYRANT and BOILERMAKER more than make up for that. And SWEETPEA! Nice. Think I'll go eat some LACY LIZARD BRIE now. Yuck!Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
