These are HARD, but doable, and so worth the effort. I really have to struggle to figure these out, but so many of the definitions are quite clever and humorous. It is more rewarding to discover them than just to reveal the answer. These are not a quick-hit little diversions. I need time to sit with them and focus.
Great puzzle, cnmne!
