It's probably C.O.P., short for capitalist oligarchic pig

i really want this to be the correct etymological origin of the word cop

[–] Andonno@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm afraid I can't help you, but thr reason the answer is wrong is because Pig isn't a job, it's a calling.

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I honestly feel bad calling cops pigs. Pigs can be sweet and useful animals.

Anyone know what the circles mean when they’re like this in a crossword?

[–] dept@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

means it's part of a clue. in this case it's 6 above's clue which is "Approximate shape of this puzzle's white squares... and a synonym of the circled letters"

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh ok thanks. When I did this puzzle I finished it before the vertical clues so I never saw that I guess.

[–] dept@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No problem. If you want another tip: when a clue ends in a question mark, perhaps, or maybe it means that the answer or clue is a pun.

I play the Sunday as a group and my God. Crosswords have some of the most bullshit rules.

You can put multiple letters on a single square? Reebus. You can also have an answer that's a whole phrase instead of a word.

Sundays are fucked up tbh

YEAH i hate rebuses. I did almost a puzzle daily last year and have only gotten 1 rebus without help.

Why do I feel embarrassed simply watching these people be cringe for, presumably (hopefully), humor?

[–] IcedCoffeeBitch@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I really can't tell if they are serious or not
