I think maybe I've heard of ZOMB...9:49 (paper)<br /><br />I think maybe I've heard of ZOMBIEBANKS, but really, none of these phrases were in my everyday speech or knowledge. <br /><br />Funny that there's an app called CASH. I didn't know about that either.<br /><br />Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-51677721848140170402019-03-29T18:47:23.353-04:002019-03-29T18:47:23.353-04:00Oh but there is an app called Cash. https://play.g...Oh but there is an app called Cash. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.squareup.cash&hl=en_US . Of course it is named after the pre-digital way of transferring wealth, so the answer works either way.<br /><br />Evidently the puzzle is more in my wheelhouse than some because UNICORNSTARTUP and PATENTTROLL are everyday words in my world, and I had heard of ZOMBIEBANK although that looks like a bit of an obscure term and is especially found in contexts like the 2008 financial crisis.Jim Kingdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857308320156877253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-90395328336975624212019-03-29T16:14:17.871-04:002019-03-29T16:14:17.871-04:008:12

I don't take a PATTYMELT, but I take a reasonable facsimile thereof, but I do, on occasion eat an OREO, which ABUTs the former. Frannie must like seeing AMY in the grid, for some reason. Nice that both BARD and IAGO are in the grid.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-8026767431768432892019-03-28T10:30:43.958-04:002019-03-28T10:30:43.958-04:00I agree with Colum - this would have been so much ...I agree with Colum - this would have been so much better for me if I knew those terms. I was totally unfamiliar with any of the three myths! Now that I google them, they are out there and "in the language" - just not my language. Ah me!
