The answer to the meta is a 6-letter 2-word phrase
I'm sorry, but I just couldn't help myself. If you had enough of a certain thing last month then maybe you should skip this one. But if you are still with me then jump right in and start your search for the meta answer which is a 6-letter 2-word phrase. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=173409#p173409
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$10 gives you access to 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game. You won't quite know what to expect: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, sometimes all of those, and sometimes none! One thing is for sure, these are some of the more creative metas my brain has been able to come up with. And there's more: this time there's a mega-meta!

Very cool. Got tripped up for a minute with WOOD GUN - I was going to Good One = ACE, as in, a hole in one is an ace, or an ace in blackjack can be a good one, etc.
Very nice. Didn't really notice any of them first time through until I got to Bile nerd and was reminded that I should be looking for spoonerisms. Took two passes to get Phone killer, but the rest were straightforward. Confess that I anagramed to look for possible answers because even though I had them written in grid order I'd split it 3 and 3 and INS PIT didn't look like anything. Once I saw SPIN IT on the options list I was like 'aaah.' Fun stuff, thanks.
Fun puzzle, I couldn't make the letters line up but I knew what it had to be, so Done and Fun or Fun and Done depending. As the golfer said on seeing all the flyers about shoes with nylon pegs now being available, there were some real cleat news.

I was so sure that "good one" referred to ACE, got stuck on that for a while.

Love the Spoonerisms, but "Spin it" is not a phrase in my active lexicon. Still, I went with it as my first guess even though I think "sin pit" would be more interesting.
Yes, I didn't want to make it too difficult. I can imagine this puzzle as a Gaffney week 4, with a more enigmatic title and normal cluing so that the 2 word clues don't stand out.
Took me forever to get NICE! I was looking for a thing or a person … HELPER, FRIEND, JEWEL, HUMANITARIAN…. Just didn’t think of it as a comment! This was brilliant!
