@bev1410,
22a might be junta
48d might be radial
56a opec
70d might be najab
113d gripes
114d drones
131a talc - check your crosses
132d bulletproof
153d might be yangtze - check your crosses
Because I enounced an etymon, the Yangtze junta raked me with pejoratives. Like an Opec nabab, I got radial bulletproof drones. Finally, the talc assuaged my gripes...
@jespah,
Oh, you did the good job while I was digressing!
@timur,
Etymon and pejoratives! Fancy!
@bev1410,
ln aanswer to your 13d l came up with a word and checked it on google and the word is PEJORATIVES, hope this helps/
Did I struggle on that one? but I enjoyed the challenge.
Thank you to all that assisted me in finishing that 'stinker', I look forward to the next one.
Have a lovely day.
A junta is what governs after a coup d'état. It is not the coup itself. Pusch has the right number of letters.
Stumble It!
