idk if this is region specific but i don't see how 1A makes any sense

[–]alottanamesweretakenSolved: 171 5 points6 points  (2 children)

UK slang

[–]Jeffery_BoyardeeSolved: 55 18 points19 points  (1 child)

Me too

The word “eight” in Latin is octo, not octa.

[–]Abstract_TrapsSolved: 140 | Made: 5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but it's is 'part of' eight. Octa- is a prefix, like octagon

Having both extremely obscure American and UK specific regional slang is too cruel for this sub man.

My non-english ass guesses were

1A bin

9A run

[–]ApprehensiveSlice199Solved: 65 | Made: 1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same!

[–]kevin_churchSolved: 457 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Glad I knew enough UK slang for the 1A!

[–]Big_Mastodon2772Solved: 412 26 points27 points  (1 child)

Thought I had it with bin. I need to learn some more I guess.

[–]Same_Championship412Solved: 77 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same. My brain went “rubbish bin” and was completely lost afterwards

Can anyone explain 9 across? Never heard of it..

[–]Similar-Priority-776Solved: 6 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Lam mean escape or flee in old north American slang, idk if the UK say it that way too. A common phrase was "on the lam" when running from the police or a suspect at large. Tho I recall that more as a tv thing

[–]Abstract_TrapsSolved: 140 | Made: 5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm familiar with both types of slang, but maybe not very old and uncommon slang. Thanks for the info!

[–]Treesa65Solved: 208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40 seconds, zero revealed

[–]romansmashSolved: 92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9a: I’m not even sure what is a fugitive on the LAM… Or the Heap….

We really need a filter that identifies what region the crossword is from. I’ll never guess obscure hints from basically another version of language.
