And oddly, I didn't even think of Cary Grant off of that clue for HUGH, though I should have. I've not read the URIAH Dickens, either, which is strange because I've read just about everything else by the man, but did know of the band. There doesn't seem to be the usual heading on the review. 6:10Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-76486878531710834392021-02-10T20:53:03.795-05:002021-02-10T20:53:03.795-05:00Thanks for the Call For Acronym (CFA - an acronym ...Thanks for the Call For Acronym (CFA - an acronym that Colum might enjoy)! Frannie and I have discussed it, and we propose KOFCA (Known Only From Crossword Answers). So now we can talk about words as being "KOFCA-esque." :)Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-4348122942778051472021-02-10T14:10:28.712-05:002021-02-10T14:10:28.712-05:00An ideal Monday -- and a debut, I understand!

And with just three spans, we get cool words like FRIVOLOUS.
