      omg I had GANK instead of JANK for the longest time. ahahaha. other personal highlights: "YEA PAL kinda makes sense but I can't believe someone is going around calling themself YIFF chitlins??", inventing the word FABULECT, wondering if JENNN / "BURN a friend" could be plausible.
      yes I'm out of touch but also yes I enjoyed this crossword! my favourite clue of all is 30D. also happy birthday!
