Missed Aches Were Maid

◆ · By SporcleMirror · Published 2022-10-18T18:16:58.777Z

Constructor's Note
Bad fill ahead. Always happens with these contest midis.
The themers come from r/boneappletea, which is a subreddit about people who THINK they know how to spell things but are veeeery wrong. Named after some guy trying to spell "bon appétit" in a post.

    Fun fact: my friend Beverly always thought that the lyrics to Cecilia were "you're shaking my coffin and skating"

            I have a friend who's a court reporter. She loves telling the story about a witness who once said the defendant had a "personal bandana" against her, and when the attorney questioned her she repeated it twice.
            Nice puzzle, btw.

              Awesome! r/boneappletea is one of my favorites too. :)
