Crossword Puzzle Thread
I'll start.

Post a clue, then the amount of places required in the form of underscores.

Like so.

Clue: 4 letter word
Spaces: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (14)

Try to solve, and post your own

38. There you go with your big vocabulary!
I'm a crossword nut. That's common enough among geeks to be a gimme.

What kind of English instructor sees a word he or she doesn't know and doesn't first think, "I'd better look that up?"

39. Yes, that's where I learned it.
I was reading the paper to the class. And he stopped me and asked. I'm sure if he had been grading the paper in the solitude of his office, he would have sought a dictionary. :D
