      @@iskar02 I think it's more about making the connection than knowing the word.
      I've known that Scots commonly say the words lass and nae most my life, but Scottish is hardly the only culture to use those words and you don't tend to hear them often in day to day life, so I gravitated towards pop culture or variants of nay when looking for an answer.
      Probably doesn't help NL that he's in Canada as well.

    A few crossword gotchas in this puzzle: (1) "put" might be either present or past tense, and you can't tell; (2) if a clue has an abbreviated word in it ("subj."), the answer will be an abbreviation; (3) the first word of a clue might be one that would be capitalized anywhere, and you can't tell ("Heart").
