    For future reference, 2-Down is the #1 lingerie brand in France. (I did the research for you)

        I was going to pass on this because I was having a lazy day; but then I said to myself: "Up and at'em"!
        • Capn Rick 🤓3:37 · 2023-04-01T18:04:45.179Z

                          I thought this might be a "mixed metaphor" but it was just a plain ol' meta.
                          • Mikey G constructor · 2023-04-02T13:53:23.855Z
                            I've tried to make a puzzle with that as the answer before, so I'll get working on that. 🤣

                              My first submitted answer was just my fingers moving faster than my eyes!! I don't think I've ever seen a puzzle with just 4 letters -- impressive. Fun! Thanks, Mikey!
                              • ReB 4s · 2023-04-02T16:20:34.817Z
                                So is this what you'd call a meta-meta? Oh well, time to grind up some corn on my metate.

                                  That was, ummm, different. Thanks Mikey!

                                    Quite fun, Mikey! But bummer, if you’re late to the leaderboard, all the good M,E,T,A puns are gone. Oh well…

                                          Fun fact, I set up a Friday PM meeting to try to group-solve WSJ and I called it "META TEAM TEA".

                                            I am afR at I’d I did not get the “lap” clue but I did know of étampes. What I did learn was not to Google that in public 😀 Fun stuff as is the Mikey notm

                                                The "lap" clue: ETAM is MATE backward, and a MATE is a "Pal," so "Pal" become "Lap." (Oof!)
