          Can you explain 12 down?
          • sammisamsam constructor · 2024-02-21T06:10:10.004Z
            Spears = Britney, removed 'NEY' (Northeastern yankee off) to get 'a Scot, maybe' = Brit, colloquial name for a British person
            • NICK717 21:01 · 2024-02-22T02:10:52.427Z
              Ah, I didn't see Britney in there at all. Now it makes sense!
