I haven't commented before, but I've been watching these for a while. I enjoy solving them with you! Sometimes you solve clues so fast where it would take me 5 times longer to work out. Other clues I get right away and shout at my TV for no reason. I don't have a NYT games subscription, so I only do the Washington Post ones on my own since they're free. I usually just do Monday through Wednesday, but I'm learning the harder crossword puzzles with you. Thank you!
Love these puzzles and thanks for sharing them. You don't google as much as I do lol. I don't know if you would ever want to skip a daily to do a puzzle from the archive with an exceptionlly good/clever theme. I had a lot of fun solving these. Thu 6-27-2024 was pizza shaped with a fun theme to the crust Tue 10-3-2023 had a very clever snake theme Wed 8-30-2023 told an entire LGBT love story. Every across clue in the puzzle was a blank in the story, and had to be figured out by the downs and by context to the story
STE is an abbreviation for sainte , the french feminine form of saint. You didn't go back to DANDER , when your dander is up , you are angry. Dander means hair or dandruff - eg the house was full of dander from her pet dog.
@@Rangsk Merriam Webster says it's debatable. Perhaps from a West Indian word dander ( ferment ) or the Dutch op donderen ( to burst into sudden rage).
In "A, in Aachen" the "a" they mean is the English indefinite article, so they are looking for the German indefinite article (Aachen is a city in Germany) which is "ein".
Tam O 'Shanter was the main character of Robert Burns' great narrative poem of that name. He was a farmer from ( O' means of ) Shanter Farm which is still in existence , right by Trump's Turnberry Golf course nowadays. The name of the character passed to the hat ( we'd call it a bunnet ) , which is a round flat cap with a toorie ( woollen ball) on top.

I still don't understand the dander one. Why are we angry about it?

@@auldfouter8661 Oh so it's just another definition other than hair/dandruff
@@Rangsk I wonder if it came from angry cats and dogs raising the hairs on their spines but that isn't mentioned.
